This carb is best described 'as new'.
Was recently fully rebuilt and tuned by PO totalling $500.
Fantastic upgrade for your beetle or kombi, and said to be better than IDF webers.
This is jetted for 1835 currently
You get a clean and mean DRLA 40, K&N filter (looks new), and twin port manifold as a bolt on application.
Only reason I'm selling is I bought the engine and the carb won't fit the type 3 setup.
Here's a video shot last week of carb running and gives you idea of how your setup will look. If it doesn't sell I may just frame it and hang as art.
Hi, my 72 Kombi has a fresh 1641cc twin port engine. The Dellorto advertised was jetted for 1835cc.
How much trouble, & cost to have it re-jetted (if necessary) to suit the smaller 1641cc motor?
My standard carb needs some work, and I am considering either having it rebuilt or buying a performance carb.
Thanks Benito, you seem to know lots more than me about these, so can you tell me the advantages of one of these carbs over the standard?
- fitment, fuel consumption, power, reliability, ease of tuning (and maintaining that peak tune), timiing adjustment?, adequate fuel supply from the standard pump? and anything else you believe I should consider.
Also, what advantage/disadvantage over twin carbs - kadrons, webers etc?
