VW what car?
what year>?
no model, no year,
no joy.
are these custom carbs? if yes, NO ONE CAN answer that.
because.
Jets are tuned for YOUR engine alone.
if all this is true,then get the weber book, huh? and read it.
it tells you how to tune any weber, and its not simple. not at all
the webers are the most difficult to tune but on the other hand they are the best. (less compromise , makes great racing carbs).
there are on line weber tunning pages, why not google that.

in the old days, we'd use spark plug readings for full week end (wasted ) to tune any custom carb,,

fast forward, 21st century, we have nice wide bad 0xy sensor tool.
its about, $150 now.
we put a 02 exhaust bug on the exhaust headers, (both if v8)
and we tune the carb. using this tool , in about 1hour.
way less for only idle , idle is very simple NO ENGINE LOAD.
I set it to stoich and drive.
end story, unless , issues driving or up hills.

on stock carbs the idle has a mixture screw.
we set it to max RPM and the unscrew 1/2 turn (rich)
not all carbs some use an air screw. (backwards)
contrats, the most complex question ever asked on fixya.
ever.
join a car forum for your car, then find custom carb section
then ask there. bingo,, must maybe 1 other person did this.
but i can tell you if the engine is different , with custom exhaust
all the tuning must be done over.
eg: custom cam, milled heads, exhaust, bored cylinders. or ported inakes. all change DEMAND for fuel and must be tuned to match it.
same is true with EFI. (speed density) but not air density EFI.
see.... ?

SOURCE: How to remove idle jet?

The idle jet is located in the bottom of the car. it's the recessed one in the bottom of the body. Remove your air cleaner assembly. remove the four screws. Be careful because it will be full of gas. ( well vented area.) You'll have one jet sticking out. That's your main. right next to it is a recessed jet . That is your idle. you'll have to use a small flathead screw driver to get it out. Make sure you have god pressure on the jet to break it loose. The jet itself is brass, and you don't want to mess it up. You should probably have a 45 jet with your combo. if you've been messing with the mixture screw it should be set around 1 & 1/2 turns out from lightly seated.

SOURCE: Yamaha SR185 1981 carb settings

Righhttt And I need some new brain cells, stock jet size is .075 float level in 17/64ths turn adjustnebt screws in till they bottom out lightly then turn one and a half turns out andthat should get it to run, otherwise go to the nearest library and check out the book for that modle. there is another adjustment for the venturi plates but don't remember the exact proceedure.

VW 1641 Beetle. Weber 32/36 carb jet sizes on a VW 1641?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Motorcycles.

If it didn't backfire before the rebuild, then it wouldn't be the carburetor jets.

Check the ignition timing and for inlet manifold leaks, and exhaust leaks.

I bought a Truimph 2.6L Straight 6 with two side draft Stromberg carburetors on it, I need to know how to set these, what is the correct jetting and any other specs on these carburetors.

leave well alone ,yes they are adjustable but so long as it runs ok and the float jets are not sticking dont play ,check plugs from front and rear of engine are same colour then mixture ok and balance .just top up oil in the dampeners with thin hydraulic oil ,if racing on track then top up with brake fluid for a faster pull away .

Hi my name is marius.how are you? Ok i have recently fitted my golf mk1 with a stock 2l 8v,with a 38 weber on now 2 nights ago i drove all sweet and then i parked my car did my thinbs and then it whould...

One issue with old Weber style carburetors was the fact that, depending on how hot was the weather, after running the engine for some time and then stopping the car, the fuel on the carburetor bowl would evaporate due to the heat of the engine, thus making it very difficult to start/idle again. You would need to place an adapter between the manifold and the carburetor made out of something that would not conduct heat, some sort of plastic. I hope this helps

How to replace the carburetor with a high performance off road weber carburetor.

if you have a down draft carby, you can just buy an adaptor plate to suit a down draft webber if the webber doesn't just bolt on, or if you want to use side draft webbers, you'll need a new manifold too

Hard start problem

I had the same problem right after installing a 45 DCOE on a stock 12A. The problem was the carburetor was not properly tuned. To tune it, refer to "Weber Carburetors", by Pat Braden, from HP Books. The main thing I had to do was adjust the idle mixture screws. Seat them lightly (screw them all the way down, but not tightly), then turn both of them out 3 and a half turns. Pull the choke and turn the key WITHOUT pumping the gas pedal. You may also need to adjust the idle speed screw, I've found that about 900 or 1000 rpms is a good idle speed for my particular aplication, but when I first started it with the Weber, I had it at 1500 rpm. It took me about a week of driving it and adjusting it to different settings to get it to run well with a reasonable idle speed. Good luck!
