I have a similar problem in my 1600TP with 34pict. Hesitates even when warm.
I have
put a rebuild kit through the carb.
Changed the 009 for a rebuilt (everything replaced) vacume advance distributor.
Changed HT leads.
Changed fuel pressure settings (it has an electric pump with regulator).
Adjusted the choke.
Disconnected the choke.
All I can now think of is play in the throttle shaft which means I need to run the idle mixture rich to compensate for it. When the engine is hot it also idles high.
I think I'm just left with idle mixture. How about you Blu?

Did You time the 009 dizzy at 32 degrees maximum advance?
as 009s cannot be timed statically at idle...
It should Now be going better with a SVDA Dizzy...
You will have to adjust the accelerator pump on the carburetor... its the little bent piece of wire with a spring on it.... You take the circlip or split pin off and advance it some, so when You push the throttle down, the accelerator pump will squirt in More fuel....
Your carby may be over rich and have too much fuel being injected into the inlet manifold....
Don't forget to oil all the moving parts on Your carburetor
This will stop further wear and help stop some of the leaks from the shafts...
cheers

Check if your manifoldis icing up... take it for a drive and when it's constantly falt spotting, pull over with the engine running, and feel the T-intersection of the manifold. If it's cold, then that's your problem.... you need to either clean out your heat risers or get a new manifold and/or get a electric manifold blanket (they exist)
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
well... have had a look at a few things... checked all the wiring at the fuse box... all seems tight.
checked the carb and cant find any name stamped on it.. the only markings i have got from it are the numbers 23-3013.8-51
so i have done a search on the internet for carbies etc - hoping it is a serial number or model number of some sort but cant find anything that matches up.
oh... the carb butterfly shaft has a little play in it and i know this would not help the situation.

That's a BX-UV1 or 2 series Stromberg carby like you see on old Holdens. That's my thoughts.
Definately not a solex. Do you have another carb that you can swap over? This would surely answer the fuel or electrical question.
Blutopless I posted my problem here with the aim to assist you and get a result myself. Not intending to hijack your post.
The 009 was timed to 32 degrees at around 3000rpm. Accelerator pump has also had multiple adjustments to improve things. Manifold preheat pipis are working fine. (The motor was newly installed at Easter)
It is 100% on what it was originally but still hesitates.
Regards
Brendan

Actually it could even be a BX-OV or a BX-V, it IS a Stromberg. Rebuild kit can be bought from K-Mart for about $15.00. That gives you gasket kit anyway.

no probs... sounds like we have a similar problem

OK Brendan....
that sounds OK for the 009....
I think its got to be the carburetor then.....
What air cleaner are You using? its not blocked?
If You have the correct spark.... correct fuel... and
correct air... it should be going good....
The valves open & shut OK...
You can see the fuel being sprayed down the inlet of the carburetor, when You push down on the throttle or cable end.... Maybe the accelerator pump isn't working??

Hi Blu,
I've never seen one of those on a Beetle....
I'd say thats the problem....
either somethings worn or loose in the carburetor....
that carburetor was made for 6 cylinder engines I believe
if its off a holden... an "old" holden....
Best thing is to get a Solex carby on Your engine....
or at least another carburetor....
and see if the problem still exists...

On the bottom of the carby, the very bottom cast iron bit with the bottom shaft running through it will have a code on it - a BX- *** code. That will pretty much work out what 50's-70's Holden it is off. Remembering the smallest one of these motors was 132 ci or about 2.1 litre up to 202 ci or about 3.3 litre then it is likely it is not a good match for the motor. They also love to run on a hot manifold to aid vaporisation, hence why the exhaust and inlet manifolds were actually bolted together on the really old Holdens.
My thoughts is go stock carby.
thanks... so does anyone have a carb to suit in melbourne?

Sorry, gave my last one away to a fellow v-dubber.
Surely someone must have a freebie stockie carby they can help out a loving dub family with? 🙂
Ok
I have a 30/31 Pict with adapter plate
You want to pay for postage it is yours??
Ok - that is Abbotsford SYDNEY not Melbourne

Futue te ipsum!!!
Hey Rod
I've got a good 30PICT2 (I'm pretty sure)... dunno if that will suit your displacement though. My instinct tells me it's for a 1300... I drive past Dub-Town (shite Town 😉 ) when i got to Geelong at least once a week.. so I could drop it off for ya if needs be.
[ Edited on 30-5-06 by oval TOFU ]
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
you need an adapter plate to get a 30 to fit a 1600 manifold.
What motor do you have?? 1300?? TP or 1600??
Futue te ipsum!!!
Chris, if it is the same as the carby off the dead KOC, then it is an original size for 1300 single port.

Yeh, its the same as the one from the dead KOC.. so Rod, you're in luck!

try driving in straight line only
I saw in the pic that you had an alternator on that motor. Sometimes stock carbs will foul on it. It could be the reason why it is not the stock one on there...
