Nice video, Gary. Sorry I saw it too late. I have the same 34 ict's in my 1600 beetle but I had to install a Facet pump instead the original pump. They go very well. Thanks from Canary Islands

@ipswichjules3851 2 года назад

Nice video, very easy to understand the breakdown of these. Quick question - the idle mixture screw, if you back it out does it lean the mixture? I assume that it does.

@VWJawbreaker 2 года назад

Thank you for that. The idle mixture screws are metering fuel, not air. As they are turned out you’re letting more fuel through the idle circuit. Turn out, richer, turn in, leaner.

What is the measurement of the float to the gasket when it is open? If I missed this somewhere I apologize

@VWJawbreaker Месяц назад

@@DrJazz7 I honestly don’t recall off the top of my head. I normally don’t measure the drop, I just ensure the float has good travel and doesn’t get bound up. The cut off measurement is what matters.

Hey, those carbs look familiar. Looking good. They are definitely not plug and play but most things aren't on these old VDubs.

Sorry I know this video was posted a while ago, I found this kit "new" open box on marketplace and I'm missing the brass T fitting, hoses and fittings for the crossover tube, you wouldn't happen to know the sizes you used on this install?

@VWJawbreaker Год назад

Off hand, I’m not sure exactly because it came in the kit. I’m thinking it was 1/4” ntp to 1/4” barb, 1/4” tee and 1/4” hose. If this is going on a dual port you don’t need to worry about the cross over tube.

@VWJawbreaker 2 года назад

You may be right and I think I might have swapped them over but it’s hard to remember from over a year ago. Once it left he put it at his house as he’s still building the car and is taking longer than he had hoped for due to his work schedule.

Great video and relative to thousands of VW enthusiast. Got a stock type 4 engine, 1972 bay window running SVDA distributor, electronic ignition, Empi EPC34 duals and live in Florida . Any advice on jets, fuel/air mixture turns out, etc...? Got hesitation, rough idle....done everything (set valves, plugs, wires, timing, seafoam) ordered rebuild kits today. Thank you sir...just subscribed.

@VWJawbreaker 4 года назад

Thanks for the kind words and welcome to the channel. The entire purpose of my vids isn’t for me but for others to learn from my experience and knowledge that I have gained. I’m not an expert whatsoever! As for your bus, man every engine is different. I wouldn’t be able to really give you much advise without being there. All I can suggest is make sure you have them synced and at lean best idle.

@RodderFiles 2 года назад

im having a problem identifying my dual carbs as i do believe they need a rebuild, mine look very similar except my cross bar runs below i believe i have a left and a right, also i have electric chokes, my local VW shops havnt been able to help, all i want to find are rebuild kits as i dont have 600 for new set , i may have them in one of my VW vids or i can sent you a shot or clip if you think you or anyone reading can help?

@VWJawbreaker 2 года назад

Sounds like they could be a solex carb if they have chokes. Shoot me a short video or email me some pics man, lemme see what I can do.

@antonjuul1940 2 года назад

Dear Jawbreaker my 74 beetle wont start after putting the dual carburators on, how did you wire yours. It will crank, and I have spark fuel and so on. I sounds like it's backfiring/misfiring when I am cranking it, hope you can helo

@VWJawbreaker 2 года назад

Carb wise there’s nothing to wire up. If it’s backfiring while cranking, check your plug wires and make sure they are on the correct plugs.

@imaouima 6 месяцев назад

Any advice or words of wisdom about putting 2 of these carbs onto a ford 200 six cylinder?

@VWJawbreaker 6 месяцев назад

To be honest, it would probably work as long as you got the jetting correct. Heck, guy on YT put a lawnmower carb on a ford 302….. anything is possible!

@imaouima 6 месяцев назад

@@VWJawbreaker Well. I wasn't going for anything as extreme as TH289's lawnmower carb experiment, I just figured if a 34 PICT could power a 1600cc engine (roughly 100 CID) then 2 could power a 200 CID engine, plus I understand they're fairly easy to tune. I was planning on using a pair of Autolite 1100s initially but I think that might be too much carb.

They do make these for either single port or dual port. Only difference is the intakes of course. I hear ya, I need to quit for good..... most difficult thing ever and I’ve been through a lot.

@V8N8T 4 года назад

I'm glad you have brought up the float level with the new shit fuel we have these days. I kept having fuel boil over after shutting down the motor and did some research and found out the new ethanol fuel has a different buoyancy and boiling point compared to the conventional gasoline that the float specs were originally set to. I also set my floats a mill or 2 lower just because of that. I have ran the empi's as well as Italian weber 34's and haven't seen any performance different besides the empi's having better idle quality due to tight throttle shafts:) it has been about 8 years since I ran the baby weber clones so they may have changed the jetting but they were extremely lean on cruise and I wondered why a set of dual carbs on a stock 1600 was slower than the single carb, well a few jet changes later and it ran well:) heck with the haters everything is china made and empi isn't the best but if thats all you can afford go thru it, check it out and run it they aren't bad at all:) thanks for the vid!

@VWJawbreaker 4 года назад

You make several great points. Not sure if they changed the bushings in the shafts or not but with these they almost look like bearings. Time will tell, I know a few people who have been running these for 3-4 years without any issues at all..... and their VW’s don’t sit around either.

@V8N8T 4 года назад

@@VWJawbreaker they are a good carb, not a screamer like a couple idf's but they get the job done:) I think all the bad rep was from early carbs that had cross threaded idle mixture screws and manufacturing debris in the fuel bowl

@VWJawbreaker 4 года назад

V8N8T it must have been in the past, although I still open up new Empi carbs here and there and see debris in the bowls. Wish I could have put IDF’s on this engine but it’s a single port.

@VWJawbreaker 4 года назад

Hey buddy! Honestly, between the Weber and the Empi they are the same.... the Weber’s now a days aren’t Weber anyway, they are Redline. I’ve seen good and bad with both, take your pick and either way go through them well, verify your jetting and have at it.

@jimlester5003 4 года назад

Do you have to use a pressure regulator for fuel on both or just the Webers?

@VWJawbreaker 4 года назад

Jim Lester both require 2.5-3 psi of fuel, so yes if your pump puts out more than that.
