VW Factory Training Video - Carburetor Adjustment

Carburetor mal-adjustment is one of the two most common ailments we see on a VW engine - Volkswagen provided specific parameters for both idle speed and idle mixture that all VWs should operate within.
This specialist training video covers early 28-PIC to late 34-PICT carburetor families!

The 34 PICT-3 stopped capping that "VOLUME" screw long ago. You set the base idle with the bypass and then set the volume screw by ear. If the volume is too far out you will hear blatting. Too far in and the rpms will start to drop off. This volume setting will/should be within one turn (360 degrees) of the screw (in or out) from the base setting of 2.5 turns out.

Clogged. Remove the entire carb, take it all apart, dip it in carb parts dip, rebuild with a new kit.

I remember elementary school - a filmstrip was boring but a film was a rare and delightful occurrence. I don't know how a film of a filmstrip rates generally, but this one is great!
