Hey i have a 1971 1600cc motor with those duals on my rail buggy and it runs really dirty when i go freeway speeds, it acts like it dosent want to go past 50mph. Any advice???

[swrnc]

@militiawarrior08 The only advise I can give you from experiance---GET RID OF THEM... Pete

[militiawarrior08]

@swrnc thats what i was thinkin, do you have a progressive carb you would sell me or do you know where to get them cheap?

[swrnc]

@militiawarrior08 Your best bet is a new one, don't go with a used, you'll regret it. Spend the extra buck and get new....

hey man i want a fast bug right now i have a 1641 wit a 125 cam and progressive carb . was gonna build a 1776cc but i out ran one with my 1641cc i dont get it i run it to 5200 rpms and i smoked him what would u say would b the best street build around 110 120 hp thanks

[swrnc]

@MrAdmin864 It's not really the size that matters, it's what you use inside it... Using the right crank, the proper cam for what you want, and the right heads. My engine has 041 big valve, Cima graphite 90.5 pistons, 100 engle cam, balanced rods, ect. The single carb runs great on my car with the engine I have, and my motor is NOT built for speed, it is built for highway driving, for traveling and good gas milage... Good luck. Pete

@4IIX The best combo I have found for trouble free VW Engines is a 1776 CC with a 100 Cam, deck highth of .021 and the weber 2 barrell carb, Ive had mine for a few years now and have only had to change the oil.. Drivin it to California and back and to Colorado and Back, and haven't done a thing to it. Pete

[MrAdmin864]

i have a 1641cc 4to1 header c25 camshaft lil head work and dual 34ict carbs what main jet size should i run thanks i run her to 5500-6000 rpms

[diyautoschool]

@ldssoccer15 The Stock Pict 32 Solex Carb with the adaptor plate would be your best bet, for economy and performance. Thankd Pete

[ldssoccer15]

I need to replace my 1973 VW Bug's carb, what would you suggest for a single carb that will run nicely but will give the engine some kick??

[raidergus]

used to have dual carb single port solex carbs...OMG what a nightmare...too much trouble.

[tcatherine96]

Man! straight forward and to the point! I like it.

[MrAdmin864]

thanks man i done took a 1776cc cookie lol but what u think bout turboin a bug? really like ya you tube videos by the way down to earth stright to point

[swrnc]

@shythead11030 All I can say is what happened to me, ofcoarse Im running a 100 cam, which is made for crusing not racing, that might make a differance, check and see what size cam the guy is putting in the engine.. Pete

[shythead11030]

got me worried pete, as im typin this my 74 Ghia is getting a rebuilt 1776 dual carb installed...guy told me that duals help in the cold

[froman712013]

I totally agree with this dude! The progressive carb is the best fuckin set up for a vw. i get around 50 mpg on a 1600cc with electronic ignition and 91 octane.

[4IIX]

Hi I have 68 Bug in the philippines I'm planning to upgrade for performance. I'm thinking of dual Carbs and some internals. But after I saw this vid everything has changed in my plans. haha. :) I need your help now. I would like to ask if where can we buy that carburetor your using?. and also please help me on what will I buy for my engine so that it will run fast and it will last long. Just a mild upgrades. please send me some advice in my email. fi_arlu_tz@yahoo.com. Thanks

[swrnc]

@igotstherm For stock applications use a 32 PICT single carb, if it's bigger use the single weber carb.

[swrnc]

@igotstherm If your running a stock 1600 go with a 32 PICT and the adaptor plate, best setup made.. If your running a large displacement engine upto an 1835 cc, you can go with the setup I am using here, a single two barrel weber.. Take it easy and good luck. Pete

[igotstherm]

I've got a beetle of my own... 72, just got her striped down because im going to restore it and was think of the motor, i was going towards the dual carbs until I watched this. What should i do for a card set up?

[TheHoodhistorian]

who gives a fuck !!!!! lol

[swrnc]

@Next2Nothing169 Honestly----go back to a single carb, less problems and worry free driving... FUCK THE DUALS!

[Next2Nothing169]

i have dual webber 34 ict's on my 63 baja (1600) and honestly.........they are a bitch!!!!! any ideas on better performance carbs or would it be better to go back to stock carbs?
