Any ideas on carby setup for a 1641 balanced, lightened flywheel, mild cam, with good exhaust sys? Not sure if i want to go to go dual setup. I was hoping to replace the stock 34 with something decent with proven performance and reliability gains. Also are 009 dizzys worth the dosh?

Cheers
Dave

I have dual 36's on the wife's kombi with a 1641cc and on a previous engine in my beetle.
Once you have gone that way you won't go back.

ok then - so by 36 you mean weber IDFs 36? Should i stay away from the spanish ones? Is it worth waiting around for a used set to come up or fork out for new? and what $$$ would I be looking at?

Thanks for replies

Ahhh..... heard lots of different opinions here

Also I done believe you can get 36's in EMPI world

Lately I have heard that the HPMX are the go...... but I wouldnt hand MY money over until I had seen a set working with my own eyes

Whil we are at parity with the US$ I would be buying a set of DRLA 36's or 40's

$475US or $525US + $38US shipping jetted to your requirements

IMO go Dell's or Webers. 36 IDF's are only available second hand Italian (not that the Spanish ones have trouble) but Dells are available new.

I have got a 32/36 Weber progressive carb but it is a DGAV model - i think that is a water choke model. Is this a problem or can it be modified to suit? Can you buy the correct linkage set up for a Type 1 anywhere?
If this is all good, i just need to source a manifold for aTP.

dave they work reasonable once jetted to suit but are thirsty. the question is what did it come off.
manifolds theres the trick to making these work.
this style is the better version with the heating jacket all the way up the manifold

more effort than benefit

If you can get an electric choke they are good

I have a DGV 5A which is a manual choke one otherwise it's practically the same as DGAV
it sits on a custom mild steel manifold
I went through all the trouble because i can't afford the better alternative lol
