while posating these i found on the opposite side just undr where it appear the fuel in line is it sez : 40 idf 18 0L. is that the info that you were talkin about ?
Founding member of the C'town Rat-Pack
Early model IDF carbs
roughly 600 give or take some.
would these suit my 2ltr kombi or give it any noticeable power gain ?
Founding member of the C'town Rat-Pack
yes they will suit and give you some extra power
so whats the 40 idf 18 0L stand for ??
Founding member of the C'town Rat-Pack
not sure about the 180L 40 is the size (40mm) the chokes have also been blanked off on that one (wont hurt them)

For what it's worth, my webers gave me 1 hp more than my Kadrons, but gave me most of that power over a greater rev range, rather than the Kadrons having (almost) the same peak power but only for a small rev range. It made the car feel faster and more responsive. The down side is I'm at the moment using a RIDICULOUS amount of fuel. I have to sort that out. They cost me around $700, but were newer than these.
"Tell him 'We've already got one'"
I paid $800.00 for mine , they were all serviced * glass blast* c/w new kits, they had new K&N air cleaners fitted .
I would say a fare price for what you have there would be $400.00 > $450.00
Looking for that special lady : PM me for coffee & cake
thanks for that one guys, as for the fuel consumption oasis my bus guzzels it now and no one knows why so im hoping that we might be able to sort the webbers out a little better 🙂

Check the throttle shafts, old carbs wear between the body and the throttle shaft, if you have an airleak there they will constantly fall out of tune. To get them rebushed can cost more than the carbs are worth... If you have any lateral movement around there I would give it a miss.
The numbers after 40idf relate to themodel of idf. They had different circuits and emulsion tube set ups dependant on what they were originally on. Some will run better than others on a VW .
