Carb' jetting?

Post by Merlin »

's up?

We've had the Webers "sorted out" on the '66 a couple of times but they are still not correct.

It stumbles under acceleration and is definately running too rich.

Who in the greater JHB area can help us sort this car out properly please?

Thanks, Nic

I once did a conversion on a beetle with a 36 DCD 7 and got all the spares and sizes from carburetor city at lion bridge in pretoria they had a book with all the right size jets and venturi etc etc. I bought the stuff from them and it worked like a charm, more performance, smoother running and less fuel consumption. Try them.

be warned.... they are not cheap.

Thanks Donovan.

I'm taking the bug past some friends of mine in about a month's time for them to sort out.

...first I need to sort out the F'ing dirty fuel sitting in it's tank. :evil:

I'll make a note about Carb' City. :)

Cheers, N.
