around the $80 mark but steer clear of Redline if you like your bug.

Do you have an electric fuel pump or a stock mechanical one?

Stock mechanical shouldn't need a regulator, if you're running rich you need to look at your jetting

I think a few people on here have used the Holley T-piece regulator

Looking at getting one myself to ensure my Kadrons aren't getting more pressure than they need; the stock replacement pumps can be questionable at times even when the pump is set-up as per the factory specs; see the video below

I'm with Aaron in that popping usually means lean.

As engines warm up they generally need less fuel, so the fact that it only does it when it's cold points to lean also.

If it runs nicely when warmed up my 2c would be that I don't think it's gonna be fuel pressure related, so a pressure reg prolly won't help.

I only know Webers and not really Dell's... what sort of choke or enrichment setup do they have ???

Ahhh that annoying Vw poping sound.
So this is when fuel pressure fluctuates causing rich lean conditions??
And when it goes lean it pops?? No??
Do these carb not have fuel bowls or choke butterflies??
Sorry I'm just interested.

Clean your idle jets. Mine was running like shit the other day so i checked the idle jets on my Dells and one was blocked. Put it back in started it up and happy engine again. I used a mallory regulator with bypass valve.

This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

Damo - guessing Dell's are pretty similar design to Weber IDF's hey... no choke/enrichment and idle jets that block up every time the wind changes ???

If so then yeah - blocked idle jet == lean == popping

🙁

Can't go wrong with Mallory gear IMHO.

What carb configuration and what idles, mains etc. ?
The popping could be fuel splashing in due to no regulator but less likely.
Float level is critical too.

Hi

Dellortos are prone to blocking idle jets, if you haven't already fit jet doctors and buy the the CB Dellorto book, its very helpful with setting them up.
