Thanks for the reply, Yeah, I had 122 mains but a fellow following my link on The Samba kept saying to go with 130's so I installed them. That made no noticeable difference. But the getting the engine to sit level on the wagon and setting the float levels the same and cleaning #3 idle jet again even though I just rebuilt the carbs yesterday, (Got that Idea your video here) made a world of difference! Currently I do have a 009 distributor on it and just checked the timing at 14'-34' Degrees. OK!
Clean, clean, clean. If you put a few miles on it at a constanst 60 mph not far from home and avoid as much idle and low speed driving to get home. A plug reading will tell you if your running right and which cylinder is a problem. Be sure and check your ignition. I had a missing carbon contact in the distributor cap and it had me frustrated until I found it. Hope you get many miles of smiles. I will do my best to answer questions if I can.
It's hard to get the sychronization perfect at all RPMs It may be fine when you get under load. Snapping and popping is usually lean condition. Leaky O-rings and such. spray a little carb cleaner or WD-40 around the manifold and carb while at idle and listen for change. Helps find vacum leak. At 3500 you will be on the 122 main jet and 34 degree's advance. 30 venturi, 60 idle, 180 air, 122 main. No acceptions on all my engines stock to 2110 I love these carbs.
Just watched your video, Trying to tune my 36mm Dellorto's which are on the 1800 cc Type 1, VW Aircooled I just built for my 1971 VW Bus. I have been testing the carbs on the engine before installing it but they seem a little hard to tune. Idle difficult, and some snapping in the left carb at 3500 rpm no load! Going to set the float levels the same this morning and try it again. See my Samba Link, Danwvw "Building a 74 mm Stroke by 88 mm bore with 042 or 044 heads?" Do you have Any insight?
ezgz thank you for making good vw content. i like your video very much! I have a request in your behalf! where do you get your weber 40 idf rebuild kit? I can’t seem to get reliable redline kit of ebay, lots of sellers are claiming original redline kit but are not! any recommend sources? also do you recommend just the fuel management kit or the overhaul kit and send it out to a reliable rebuilder?
This is what I use. www.cbperformance.com/product-p/6362.htm I would recommend you do the work yourself. If the carb worked good for you and then began having problems you should be ok. If it never worked well and you don't know the history it might be more involved. Good Luck with your project.
hey ezgz im working on some 44idf weber carbs and I need the middle tube that is located where the ventories are .. whats the name of those tubes and where can I get them? I went on the weber web site and did not see them plz help
Hey I just had another thought. If your going lean at higher RPM and everything is clean and working. You might not be keeping up with the fuel demand. Dirt restricted fuel filter, to small of fuel line, to low fuel pressure. You get the idea. You sound like a smart guy I'm just throwing out some ideas I would check. Good Luck

Tinker, tinker, tinker and tinker some more! Cool to watch. Thanks for all the tips and insight. I'm finally starting to understand carbs.

I will keep these in mind! I seem to remember glass float bowls on farm equipment when I was a kid! Now I know why.

Hello there, do you happen to have a video describing on the differences between non emission carbs and emission carbs with Dellorto and Weber.
Sorry, I do not. All the carbs in this category were sold as aftermarket off highway use.

EZGZ..., where is Dellorto #5 and #6..???? looking for your great vids...
I thought I covered most of it more than ounce. If you have a specific question or problem I have probably solved with my own issues so ask away

Hey ez,could you give me the part number for that spring kit , weber idf,?

Good stuff
That is the Auxilliary Venturi according to the book. I do not know who sells those. If you find a sourcelet me know. Google (Redline Weber parts.)
