test running of the edelbrock clone

[@golgothapro]

Well I'll be damned. I had a 1600 dual-port with a bug-spray I thought was the S when I was 16. I didn't think there was enough displacement to support a 4 barrel ( unless maybe you went with the 92mm jugs). Sounds good for 1641 !

That's pretty cool. Never seen an Eddy (or clone) on a bug motor before. I like them because they can hold a tune- set it and forget it.
FYI- you actually DECREASED the amount of accelerator pump shot by moving it to the outer-most hole. When you use the holes closer to the fulcrum it increases the pump shot. If you find it's not squirting immediately off idle using one of those inner holes it's because the pump cup is rising above the bore of the accelerator pump cavity inside the carb and isn't giving you an immediate shot of fuel. TO FIX: you're supposed to bend (yes, BEND!) the linkage going to the pump arm straighter until it does squirt immediately off idle. I mention this because you've got it on an air-cooled engine and it's a LONG way from the carb to those intake valves! You might find you need that larger pump shot volume when you nail the throttle out on the road under actual operating load.

Actually moving the rod inward it was much worse and I'm not done. It was justba quick fix. I been putting 4 barrels on vw engines since 1990

I like my dual dellarto 45's pretty cool though

[@berrysblowers6411]

Dual carburator at full throttle Definitely would flow more but the edelbrock style carb is very throttle happy and less Maintenance.

Sounds like my old Evinrude outboard!!!😅😅

[@brunomahle1618]

Are you new to VW's? How much of that carb flow do you expect to pull through that 1.5" manifold?
One piston pulling all that carb at once.......lol. Might wanna consider some fifties tech as an improvement.

[@berrysblowers6411]

Actually it's s 1 5/8 tube and on the correct size engine it works perfectly!!! Been there done that for last 21 years. I was just using the 1641 to play

[@grahammboyett3172]

What is the fuel pump pressure your running on that?

[@berrysblowers6411]

2 to 3 psi

[@pierreduplessis1507]

Does a high cfm carb bog up at high revs? A carb that size where is the application applicable on big cc x bore motors?

[@berrysblowers6411]

Actually with a good carburator and correct jets it works fine.

What’s the brand
