Best most concise vid on adjusting this carb

it would be nice to have a VW club nearby with an expert giving a short class each week. I'd pay monthly dues for that. There is one mechanic left I know of nearby and he is 71 now but still working. He's the perfect choice for VW professor in this neck of the woods. You can only get so much out of a service manual.

Thanks for this video. After watching I looked at my accelerator pump on my 30 pict 1 and it wasn't moving when I hit the throttle. Come to find out the lever was hitting the alternator. Adjusted carb over and works perfect. Thanks. I wouldnt have looked without this video.

What are the starting points for the volume and mixture screws.

Just brought a one into four manifold with an empi 34 pict-3 carb. Now i put it on & won't even try to idle. I hold throttle open a bit & it runs rough & over fuel's so then head down the jetting route. But as I took it off & carried it to my shed I'm looking down the throat & as I tilt the carb I noticed fuel pouring out the tap looking part in the middle of carb throat. So I then tilted it again & yep fuel pours out that spout. Now why on earth would that be a thing. It's going up the main jet channel & if I tilt it it syphons out. Now that can't be right can it? If I parked on a hill it would poor fuel into the manifold. I dropped fule level then tilted it & yep it pours out that spout. I know this is a shot in the dark but any ideas are welcome.

awesome video. quick and simple. I still got a dead spot but its not that bad.

Timing and valves adjusted are huge factors in getting carb tuned, i feel i need revisit timing even though it hits at first key turn which was what i was told a long time ago is right, but hiccup and hestiation on acceleration got me questioning everything again, ah the joys of vw bug ownership😂

[juharuotsalainen]

what does the thermostat valve nozzle on the solex 31 pict-4 carburetor do? as a projection on the left front in the carburetor..

[TheRestorationShack]

Great video, just set mine up - great help 🤙

[andresgonzalez]

The unit in the back is to make sure your learnings 😂😂

[dean]

Curious to know what the solenoid does that has the wire to where he said don’t touch it does?does it turn something on is it supposed to be live when you turn the key on?
