Solex Pict3 Carb. Is it compatible with a 1500?

[kingkarmann]

I tried several ways of searching and found no specific answers.
I recently acquired a 67 Ghia with the original motor. AS I understand the "H" code engines received the PICT1 carburetor. At some point they replaced the carb with a PICT3.
Generally the carb looks to be in good shape and the car does run well overall but I'm getting some flat spotting on acceleration. I did a rebuild and suspect there is still some fine tuning to do. I also read that I may need to take a closer look at the accelerator pump adjustment.
Anyhow, I don't want to end up chasing my tail if the the PICT3 in not a great choice.
Thanks

Is the carb a 34 pict 3? Paired with an 009 distributor?
That is a known bad combination.

You'd be better off with a 30 Pict 1 and a 205K distributor. That's a great pairing for the SP 67 engine.

My SC has an H case engine, now 1600, and I added a 30 pict 3 carb rebuilt by Volksbitz. It runs great with the Bosch 205T sva distributor. The only thing I had to do was add a spacer between the carb and intake in order for the idle shutoff to clear the generator.

I assume this is a 30 PICT3.

How many degrees do you have your engine timed?

Are you able to get the engine to idle?

No matter if it is the 30 or 31 Pict3, you need to replace either the carb to one that corresponds with the distributor, - or the distributor to one that corresponds with the carb.
Since it is a ´67 I lean towards replacing the carb with the right model.

Starting in August 1966 (start of1967 model year) the 1500 Ghia would have had a 30 pict 1 with a base stamping number of vw107-1 or vw106-1, paired with a 113.905.205K distributor. I don't know if this carb/distributor combination was continued through all of 67 or not.

You could also run a 113 M distributor. It would have the appearance of the correct 1967 distributor with the short cap. The 113 T uses a taller cap and rotor like those on a 009. They are both vacuum advance distributors that use the same vacuum advance canister.

Don’t overlook the heat riser condition. Lack of intake heat can do this too.

Update,
I have found a nice core that will be sent off to Tim at Volksbitz for a rebuild/restore.
I guess I will have a nice Solex PICT3 up for sale at some point.
Thanks all for your help!

VW 75-1 is for a 1300 beetle. You're looking for a 30 pict1 with what they called the "power fuel system". If you look down the throat of the carb with the float bowl closest to you you'll see a small brass tube just below and to the side of the float bowl vent tube, that's the power fuel tube. The VW 75-1 doesn't have this tube. I believe all 1500 engines had some version of the carb with the power fuel system while the 1300 engines did not.
