Single carb for stock 1300 single port
Hey I have 1300 single port that is stock but in really good condition
I want to upgrade the carb to something bigger, chasing a bit more power and I wanna do something a bit different to a 31pict/34pict or dual
34ict's.
What do you guys think a cool upgrade would be??
32/36 progressive?? I think you can even get 32/34 progs
40dcn??
Zenith??
I wanna stick to a single carb, just something a bit different than a solex
Cheers!!

Hi
I have seen SU and Zenith carbies on VW engines..
You would probably need to have the manifolds modified or made..
Twin carbies is probably the way to go with a 1300 single port engine...
and ratio rockers??
unless You can get something used and cheap...
its going to cost a few dollars...
Do You have an extractor exhaust system on Your car??
are you running the original distributor??
Someone on Here may have something for You???
cheers

the 32/36 progs are a good carb once you get them jetted right but they love the juice.

i did have one but sold it years ago, as fair as i know he still has it on his bug.
it was a great performance boast but fuel was cheaper then.
if you get one make sure it has a vacuum secondary and you get it jetted right.
there is also the twin barrel progressive off a lada niva. its basically a copy of the same carby but all the adjustment screws are in at the back and
easily adjustable

Aren't the jets and the adjustment on 32/36's all on the back of the carb, so to tune them or re jet them you need to take the whole carb off??
Sounds like a pain in the rear to me

they are up against the fan housing on the 32/36. hence why the lada one worked so well they were facing away from the fan housing. made it easier.

Would a 40 size weber be too big for a 1300 single port? Could it be jetted down enough??

they are a bit big for a 1600. you can change the veturi to reduce it down but i woulf think something around the 34-36 mark would be better for a
1300.

I'm seriously considering the bugspray, it's something different, and vintage
Anyone had experience with them??

Everything I hear about them is bad.
And everyone that has dealt with them has told be to throw them as far down the back paddock as I can.
I have one sitting here that I picked up for nothing at a swap meet.
And I managed to get my hands on a full rebuild kit that I have here somewhere, but have not rebuilt it cause everyone told me not to bother.

If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.

You wouldn't happen to have a single port manifold to go with it??
I'd take it off your hands if you did!!

Yep I had one on my 1640cc Baja back in the late 80's....worked well and I loved it !!
People complain about having a flat spot, but once you tune it correctly they work well.
I still have it somewhere.......will have a look tomorrow !
