- I will explain the Pro's and Con's on Weber Style copy cat carbs that are frequently on Sale for type 1 air cooled engines.
DISCLAIMER: All comments and experiences are my own. Words like Never and Always are improper because (Everything) is subject to change. Manufactures have had parts made in different country's all over the world and quality has changed over the decades. Sometimes for the good, sometimes for the not so good.
A good experienced mechanic can usually overcome problems.
A less experienced mechanic will usually use excessive force and get frustrated, then use social media to express stupid views based on nothing. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

You hit so many nails on the head! Can’t thank you enough for your input and support you give us all.
Glad you’re doing better each day!!
Thanks to your motivation and my passion to the VW world. Your one of the Best out there Gary. Because of you I'm even thinking of a rear wing. hehe need some place to set my tools and coffee. Great place for stickers as well
Greg, good to see you again, back in the grove. Just a quick message, watch your blood pressure.
Hard to be myself and watch blood pressure. hehe
I trust in the Lord Jesus and when he calls me I'm ready to move on from this lifes petty bullchit
Glad you've been doing well EZ! The good old saying pay once cry once is so true, time can be related with money too so where do you want to spend it. Thanks for another great video just got back from a drive in the Volksrod, stretched its legs for the first time this year. 1914 with w120 cam, Spanish made 40 idf's with gene berg linkage still not needing to be touched. It's all old stuff I've had for over 15 years as long as it's maintained it'll last and be dependable
Yeah brother! That's what I'm talkin about! I hope you continue to get lot's of smiles to the miles my friend!
@TheEZGZ absolutely to you as well:)
You get what you pay for in most cases. Thanks for the tips GZ
Hey Greg! Si happy you aré in great shape!!! Keep going!
Good to see you. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to see you doing better, and Amen on the advice.
Great vid. Looking really good 👍
Love watching your videos EZ GZ, keep em coming and I'm looking forward to video you may make in the future about how find out what size engine that some may have.
It's still a guess
EZGZ has a great point on carburetor to engine size. I am very happy with my single 40IDF on a 1968cc.
But I would say, if you're thrifty and willing to get it figured out.
For my setup, I was able to use a new Amazon returned carburetor. Made the adjustment ezgz talked about in a previous video he has.
I purchased the empi intake and all weber parts off the samba.
I'm into it less than 250. But it did take some time to get it dialed in.
Great video. I'm glad you don't mince words. The older I get the more I am the same. What aggravates me is you give someone advice on their VW and they don't listen and come back to you wanting you to fix exactly what you said would happen. 🤦
Couldn't agree with you more
Hey.
Glad to see ya back.
Boy I love watching you go on rants!! Your rants are so true!! Keep it up Ez!
I want the VW to live forever
As always good information put out by you with tons of experience on these machines
Thanks 👍
Yep, I think you preached the right sermon! I've had to find out the hard way a few times in life that cheaper isn't always better. And you're right about vw ignition points - as of the last few years, I can't seem to find a condenser that is worth a flip...they will last about a season, maybe two, and that's it. Great video and lesson!
Pertronix Rules
Glad to see you.... Very good information... Hope you have a wonderful weekend... Take care my friend.
Thanks and you do the same
Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks brother from another mother . Glad to have you back sir . I'm 60 and looking for Baja . My buddy Gary / jawbreaker sold his after he rewired it . Haha
Whaaaaat ! That traiter. hehehe He find another one.
Good to see you back at it
It feels good to be alive again :-)
Hi EZGZ , glad you’re back! My 1776 in a type 2 bus runs great on a single 40 DRLA with 30 venturis , 55 idles, 150 mains and 180 air correctors. Being in England in the winter I need the pre heat tubes and warm air into the carb. Thanks for your experience!!
Central mounted single are the way to go in my experience.
Great for low down torque.
Philip, you’re right, a 2 tonne bus full of children and surf boards needs low down grunt! 80 mph is easy but not advisable!!
Thanks for commenting and leaving the jetting details
Thanks for the video EZGZ!!
You nailed it. You get what you pay for. I did recently buy a set of the Empi 44 IDF’s, and so far, so good. After some research I found that the only difference between the Empi 40 IDF, and the 44 IDF, was the size of the venture’s. The bodies, are the same.
Have a great weekend.
You as well and here's hoping you get lots of miles and smiles with them my friend
@@TheEZGZdo you have a video how to convert the bug to electronic ignition?
Every EMPI part I’ve bought has never fit properly. Even the older “better” (or so I was told) stuff.
I bought an EMPI exhaust at a swap meet years ago. When I got it home I noticed it looked a little.. cheap where the headers all met in behind the collector. I chopped the collector off and holy smokes, the pipes were all mangled at tips. They looked like they had been chewed to size.
You get what you pay for :)
Glad to hear you’re healing up well EZ
Some times it's all we can afford but I'm would love to be able to just buy parts that come out of the box, bolt on and look and work well.
Have a great sunday Sir gz. Have a bunch of fun. And a burito. Lol. Thank you🌄
That sounds like a great idea
Well said. I run points and have no problems with the idea of doing so.
My hats off to you sir. I'd just as well not have to worry about point gaps and spark timing changing as I putt down the rod. I love and respect your views, comments thoughts and perseverance
See folks, knowledge is power :) Great info here for us!!
Thanks for the videos! 👍
Good to see you my friend.
Your video came at the right time trying to make some webers work by dropping down the size of the venturis and was getting temped to get some cheap knock off 40's I will stay in Spain :)
Bless you and get lots of miles with smiles
Thanks ez You answered some of my questions with out asking 😊
That's cuz we are all asking the same questions and getting poor quality junk.
Awesome video, the truth can hurt. Parts these days are very disappointing, it makes me nervous to drive too far from home without loading up with extra parts and tools because of some failure I've encountered. I have a box of failed newish parts in my shop that steadily grows.
Every time I install new parts I gather up the tools I used and take them with me if I'm going very far.
great video brotha.
Great information
Thank you Dave
Hope ya will show isolating idle jet from main on weber center mount
The idle jet is accessed on the side. The main jet is accessed from the top after you remove Air Cleaner.
You seem to be very angry today. Hope your doing good. Great to see you back, making videos. I always look forward to seeing your videos.
I'm a passionate person on VW subjects and not happy with the aftermarket parts and lies
well said sir..........and yes the 36 Dells or 36 IDF's rock! I have a pair of 36 IDF's on my 1192cc (1200) D case motor...totally sings along down the road
Great combination. Lots of miles and smiles to you
Laying down the truth on em, love it!!!
It is what it is and we all want to keep our cars running good.
Damn good thing I'm not your neighbor I've been working on my street legal sand rail since 2016 I got it running almost to the point to where it's perfect. After about a year of owning it I finally spent the money on replacing the 2 Chinese clones for webers from Italy after that I couldn't believe the difference the reason I say it's a good thing I'm not your neighbor is you would get so sick of me asking you questions you would eventually punch me in the nose for bothering you every weekend lol. As usual your videos are right on.
you would be asking questions while your in the corner cleaning my old greasy parts and have to repeat your questions cause I can't hear with the radio on. hehehe
Dead right about carb sizes. many people go too big and their car becomes a pig to drive (I know from experience). Dells and Webers have removable venturis and it's the venturi size that matters; smaller carbs run smoother, absolutely agree with everything you say here EZ!
No substitute for experience
G'day Mr EZGZ,
Firstly your looking great. you even sound great. 😳
Anyway I've studied your videos and I'm with you we are buying crap. I've recently binned my piece of crap EMPI linkage setup. The dam thing just would not play the game. So i got in touch with Alistair at Gene Berg and he fixed me up with a linkage set-up. Now this thing cost me close on $800 Aus. but it works. It's made from quilty parts. So people if you want quality it may cost more at first but take it from me it's worth it in the long run.
✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
Gooday Mate. Can't be Gene Berg ent. for providing the best parts
Nice video.👍
It's about time someone told the truth
Summer Time EZGZ, any videos coming our way of the sandrail ?
Great video, Australia 👍👍👍
I hope so. Got a new girl friend who wants to try it. :-)
Looking good EZ
Kadrons 1776 mild cam and heads . Good smooth power and low maintenance.
That's a great combo
This place call vintage speed sales a nice air filter kit for Weber’s Ida but there made of stainless still I want the cast one
Vintage speed makes great stuff but those air cleaners don't provide for linkage and they are to pricey
Thank you my brother keep doing yoga i do to
Namaste
If you go cheap, then be prepared to put in a little more effort to make it right. I bought some Harbor Freight tools that failed on me. Had a reciprocating saw that had the cast aluminum collar break, but had a 4' section of old rail because it was made of forged steel, then cut a piece of it and fabricate it into a collar that was the same shape (I had to Krazy glue the old collar to get the measurements). It was working fine after that. So if they want that EMPI to perform like a Weber, Dell, or Solex, put a little work into the carb, and it may be like a Web/Dell/Sol.
Good information I suggest if you want the good webers spend the money and get k&n air filters. They keep the junk out of the carbs.
Great minds think alike! Hope your getting lots of miles and smiles😃
@@TheEZGZ daily drive it. Have a happy memorial weekend.
This was Brutal no lies detected hehe.
Sometimes the Truth hurts
Yes Sir E , Well Said Ezzz
Yeah Buddy.... hehehe
What about the 34pict3? Will a 28mm venturi work with a 1600cc dual port engine with an 8.8:1 compression ratio and bigger valves ? I'm currently at 7,500ft above sea level
You will like it for sure IMHO
Hey ms gz do you know who sales the cast air filter kit for Weber ida made of cast
Sorry, I do not. Another reason I stay away from the IDA series
Tuning my 44 webers tomorrow. Installed the Gene Berg linkage and looking forward getting them set. Carbs with linkage were 1179$ from CB. Worth it! The linkage started getting loose quickly though(Baja). The heims joints just don't hold up to exposure to the elements well. Bought the Berg linkage and it seems much sturdier. What do you lube your Baja and rail linkage with? Thanks! Burrito time!
Oil just collects dirt on off road cars. Maybe some penetrating oil and wiggle things and then wipe it off.
You will love the GB linkage. I have 2 set ups and they work sweet and stay in adjustment. It looks like home made junk to the untrained eye but so tunable with the right length to work correctly. I thought bending the end peace's to fine tune was a little mickey mouse but it works. Some light oil and or dry powered graphite works go on all types of linkage. You can look for the kind the locksmith would use. A plastic bottle will last forever.
@@TheEZGZ Thanks! Hope to see you at one of the car shows this summer. I am in Denver for the summer from Ohio for work. Daily driving with the crazies on I25 from Johnstown to Denver in the Baja. 2276cc built by me. I learned watching you and VW Darrin on TH-cam. Have a great day and thanks again!
Shalom in the soul
I have a good set of those delortro 36s they are the real deal better than the 40 without changing the vents. Some guys are getting the empi carbs to work ok but real Webers are better for sure. some guys say the italians are the only ones but it just depends on you. I think the Spanish ones are fine.
Great minds think alike
Thanks for a great info what do you recommend for a dual 44idf on 1915cc engine jets and main ?
daaahhhhhhhh
@@TheEZGZ I have a original webers 44idfs asking about the jets and main thanks anyway!!
Greetings!
Do you have a recipe for a Super Beetle daily driver…90 hp?
Not sure of your question? You want 90hp... Dual carbs, mild camshaft, free flowing exhaust will make a noticeable difference. I don't put much stock in hp numbers as there are so many variable's.
I just like it to feel good and last a long time.
D + !
yoga it works thanks easy
yep
I've used many pairs of the "clone" Webers, 40s, 44, & 48s. Yes they need to be "gone through" before fitting & they need to be matched in size to the spec of the engine. I've had excellent results from them all & for the money they are brilliant. The HPMIX are no where near as good & I won't use them. All of the Weber parts are interchangeable with the clones & if not for the weber name stamping, they are nearly identical. I've been building and tuning performance VW motors for over 40 years, I think Webers are expensive, we are buying a "name", but I always buy good quality linkage & manifolds/cleaners.
Dumb question, I guess, but what are the springs you've got there on the exhaust merge point? I can't figure out why they're on there 😂
To prevent stress cracks and aid assembly the collector and individual pipes are held together with springs
@@TheEZGZ thank you sir
I bought 2 44 IDF knock-offs for $100 each from amazon and they work and look great. Why spend $500?
what's your thoughts on jet doctor kits for the Webbers?
They work great on the dellorto but you don't have to drill holes like you do on the Weber
I added them to my carb. I live in high desert and always had to clean my idle jets. On both my 34-3 carbs and my 40. The 40 was much worse, but after adding the jet doctor last spring. They haven't been clogged once.
❤
Both of My carburetors are leaking gas right in middle next to the weber Letter where the two round plugs like is at, do you have any idea what could be? Im also running an electric fuel pump may be its sending to much gas?
Probably too much gas pressure if it’s electric fuel pump. You need separate fuel pressure regulator and a fuel pressure gauge. Weber carbs need less than 3 PSI or you will never get it to run right. Also check your float level I have videos posted on all that stuff. Like and subscribe to my main channel and do a search from there.
Do you think if i get rid of the electric fuel pump and go with the stock pump it would work better?
Would it be a bad idea to seal those two plugs?
@@nikittoo1 don’t mess with those plugs. Do what I told you. First you have to know the existing pressure.
Thank you
which carburettor is better for its original 1300 model carburettor: Brosol or classic?
Both the Broxol and the solex are legendary for quality. I ran a 30 P.I.C.-1 Solex on my single port and never had a problem super easy to adjust.
entäs Classic merrkiset?
@@TheEZGZ Brosol?
Have you tried the goat yoga?😂✌️
No but my dog likes to pestor us at outdoor yoga classes
does dellorto work in beetle? didn't really work in alfa romeo
My set up worked fantastic from day one
@@TheEZGZ expencive set?
@@TheEZGZ are the throttle bearing bushings directly replaceable for the solex 31 pict-4 carburetor without drilling?
last time i bought real Weber's they were 600 bucks. that's how long ago it's been. lol
Oh ---- You were getting excited on this video ------ It's not only the cheap look alike carbs ---- a lot of things aren't correct these days --- You gave out --- quite a few ---- good tips ------- wear in the linkage --- not really a need for a BIGGER carb --- jetting ---- getting parts for these cheap aftermarket carbs --- After this video --- not so sure you need Yoga class -------- I guess it goes back to the old saying ------ You Get What You Paid For -------- And as you say --- Chrome Don't Get You Home ---- Thank You for the Tips ---- And Have a Good Memorial Weekend ------- You must be feeling pretty good now ----- you are looking like your ol' self --------------- Rodney
I get wound up and passionate about carbs especially. Good fuel system can make all the difference of a happy VW owner.
Im still runnin points GZ lol
Nothing wrong with that :-) I sure miss the good times we had at Pueblo motorpark. I wonder if it is still open and free to roam?
What size is my engine 😂
big enough to get your car moving . hehehe
Too much game !!!
Thanks anyway
