vickie - January 12th, 2006 at 08:08 PM

Can i put dual Weber 48 IDF carbs on my 1963 1200 beetle?

are there any issues with too much power?

or any problems fitting them?

In a word.
No

You would need at least an engine of over 2 litres, major head/valve work ect
These are for performance motors only.

we did think they'd be to much for her,

can you or anyone else recommend what to do to help my bug get over the steep hills in Brisbane?

a bigger sized engine ie a 1600tp or the ultimate 2L t4 motor
