Always thorough with your explanations. Just inherited a set of Dellortos 45s and will reference this video when I get tgem cleaned and installed. A friend of mine has the Dellorto book in his garage and no more VWs so I think I'll make the drive and go pick it up.
Love your videos... the way you are always cleaning and wiping everything thing you touch is the way it should be!! Every video i have watched i been very impressed.. keep them coming
Did you see my install video too? Did exactly the same thing with the fittings and hoses! From the rear line installed a square style squareback style fuel filter. Uploaded it earlier of the week.
Another great video! Funny how Carter will have this same pump assembly offered by many vendors. I have the same setup in the back of my 69 BMW (dual sidedraft carbs), but I added an enertia (accident) switch and relay.
I like to add fuel pump oil pressure cut off switch , so pump is not running with key on only when there is oil pressure. It's a a nice safety device .
Another great video! I replaced the original CB hex bar linkage that came with my dual Dellorto 40 assembly after a few years - with a Berg linkage. Had to order (2) longer arms from Berg to reach the throttle shafts. Huge difference in throttle response and lighter pressure on the pedal.
When you did get it running, almost sounded like the fan was noisy - perhaps the nut was loose or the fan was scraping against the sheetmetal. Also at full suspension droop, the muffler was up against the RR brake caliper.
Hey George! Chad T here. You shortened my 69 chassis for a Berry Mini T in 2016 and I'm finally getting around to building it! Quick question. How did you cover the differential for the tamale when you put it in the "dishwasher" at 29 minutes in? Looks like you used orange duct tape? Any pointers here would be great! Thanks man.
I use a smaller diameter Porsche 356 generator pulley in my alternator to get more fan speed and help with cooling (fan is welded and balanced, of course). The crank pulley is a Gene Berg Achiever. I need to check which number size I have.
@@the_Wagen Understood, would be great if you made the sleeves for the type 3 already bent with the stud and holes already drilled. That wat all I would have to do is unbolt the coller , cut and drill the hole for the lower sleeve to bolt to the beam. I don't have access to welding equipment where I'm located. Is the pre-bent sleeve ideal a possible item you could make and sell??
I had my Bug almost a year. I like to go dual carbs, but I like to know is it worth doing does it make the engine run better or save gas? I see people do it. I’m just curious cause I would like to do it. I have a 1641 engine I was looking at you, Solex carbs, is it worth getting?
If you are looking to upgrade, I’d suggest upgrading the ignition at the same time. Stock components and just adding dual carbs works if everything else works well. 👍🏽
Yeah, I got the ignition added already I’m just trying to look for consistency. It’s my daily driver. It’s nice and clean engine, nice and clean transmission nice and clean. no oil anywhere. that’s why I was wondering if dual carburetters would help my car out. thank you for your time for helping me.
@@the_Wagenmy Squareback came with Weber 34ICT carbs and Empi components. I also have the CB manifold and crossbar linkage (not installed yet). Tell us why you don’t like these carbs. I had a set on my 75 Beetle back around 1988.
@@jimgerock9190THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. ICT carbs seem to have blown throttle shafts out of the box. Plus most single throat carbs are "sloppy". The IDF design(dual throat) revs quickly when properly tuned, and are more efficient.
The Ross Wulf parts look amazing as well. I wish they had a 356 sized alternator pulley setup. I use those to get a higher fan speed and aid in cooling.
Useful tip that has worked for me for close to 20 years. Use lip balm on the manifold gaskets. It helps them seal better and also not get stuck to heads and manifolds when replacement is needed. Love the parts from Gene Berg too; as he used to say “cry only once” because you’ll only need to buy them once. They are that good.
Solid work as usual - lots of good procedure and information…don’t forget to mention direction of the cooling slot on the alternator breast plate…see to many pointing the wrong direction… ;-)
