Car Forum / Volkswagen / Air Cooled Volkswagen Cars / October 2009Dual carb Q's
So I have some bread burning a hole in my pocket and am looking at dual carb setups. always have run basically stock for 25 years so I don't know if it is worth it the additional headaches with synchronizing and everything else that comes with duals. Where to get a good set? I've seen "empi version of webers" on ebay for $299 and other versions elsewhere, plus used Kadrons in various ads here and there. Anyone got any advice on any of this? Is it even worth the trouble will it boost my 1600 all that much anyway? thanks for any responses... > So I have some bread burning a hole in my pocket and am looking at dual carb > setups. always have run basically stock for 25 years so I don't know if it [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > even worth the trouble will it boost my 1600 all that much anyway? thanks > for any responses... It makes a big difference. Kadrons are just fine. Tuning them is not big deal. I,ve had dual carbied type 3,s for 30 odd years. Never been a great issue balancing the things. Even after I,ve taken the things off to get at plugs I,ve jsut stuck them back and no issues. John > I,ve had dual carbied type 3,s for 30 odd years. Never been a great issue > balancing the things.

Tune until they are even. Seemed to work just fine. >> So I have some bread burning a hole in my pocket and am looking at dual carb >> setups. always have run basically stock for 25 years so I don't know if it [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > It makes a big difference.

How much is a set of 87mm slip-in's these days? I have seen a German 2L engine built around a stock carb setup, would be fun to try, grunt with simplicity. More costly though.. J.
