Carbs. 31 34 PICT, EMPI, Brosol, Solex
For the uninitiated, I am starting a thread on single carbs.
I see there are quite a few new carbs available out there, and different ones suit different conditions. I have a stock original 1971 1600 twinport
with stock dissy.
VW stock 34 Pict 3 $150
VW stock 31 Pict 1 $160
EMPI Stock 34 Pict 3 $230
Brosol/ Solex 31 Pict $245
CIP Euromax Brand 34 Pict 3 $150 US
CIP Chinese 34 Pict 1 $150 US
CIP Chinese 30 Pict 1 $160 US
CIP Brosol 30/31 Pict $206 US
CIP Bocar 34 Pict 3 $230 US
What models used 30, 31, 34 etc? SP, DP, 1200,1300,1500, 1600 etc. Years?
What are the main differences? Factual information will help here.
Are some better for stock dissy v's 009?
Full rebuild, rebush, shafts, valves, seats, solenoid etc on original German carb $200 a better option?
There is one that Rob being an aussie should have known.
All standard bugs here after late 70 (except 1600 76s) had 1300twin ports with 31pict3 carbs.
it was baby version of the 34pict3 with a slightly smaller throat but still bigger than the original 1300 and 1500 carbs.
I actually like these on a stock 1600TP.
They need an adapter to fit a 34 manifold but are bit less finicky than the 34carbs but have no power loss.
The only trick is getting the size right on the aux power jet so they dont flat spot mid range when you stomp it.

I had our original carby cleaned, and my mechanic said not to change it, as it is in good condition. He prefers the OEM German carby on stock motors
if you want stock performance.
