Pict 2 question

[far rider]

This set up was on a 65 engine. Both pieces are plugged. Originally would the carb be connected to the in take? Should I leave it this way or connect them? Also I have a pict1 and a plain intake manifold would I be better off just using that setup? TIA.

Are you talking about the vacuum ports? The one on the carb is for the distributor, the one on the manifold is for something else. Is it a 3 piece manifold?

Autostick manifold.

Those double return springs on the carb are creative, I wonder if they have F'd up the throttle shaft bushings?

Auto stick! Thanks for that info. So I can go back to a regular IM.
I never noticed the double springs! A rebuild is on the list but does it make sense to go with a pict1 with a regular manifold?

What are these manifold and carbs being mounted on VW wise? An autostick transmission bug or a manual 4 speed bug?

The 30-2 carb is my last favorite 30 series carb. Be careful with these parts if they are off an autostick bug. The autostick 30-2 carb is different than the manual transmission bug. They have different ported vacuum signals.

Too bad about the distributor. Poor match for either carb. Put the stock carb back on and find a matching distributor.

Im not sure what the stock carb would be. The PO had this setup with the auto stick manifold and the the 2.
Thanks for the info about the 009.

At one time I saw a listing on this site for carbs and distributors that came on all the years of Beetles. Looked for it the other day but couldn’t find it again. Maybe someone else knows where it is.

My understanding is the 009 came on the industrial engines that ran at a fixed load and speed. The advance curve is better suited to that application.

I'm running a 30 Pict 2 with 205T distributor, and it works perfect on my 1641cc single port.

For a single port use a 30 PICT 1 and a 113905205T distributor. A new BOCAR carburetor is going to be better than any rebuilt one you can find considering they are all new components.

I'd go with a [email protected] original restored German Solex 30-1 carb with a base flange number of 105-1 over any "new" aftermarket carb. They are the best series 30 carbs German Solex made for single port engines.

I also stock all the restored distributors or I can restore yours-

Exactly! On a constant throttle application (1/4 mile racing) where light throttle running is rare the 009 works. But like you say vacuum distributors give better drivability.
