I find this video very helpful Thank you PJ. . . . I would appreciate it if you can make a video of where all the oil leaks come from , cause I have a Golf MK1 1300 and I have no idea where the leak is.
It's a pleasure sir. Thanks for that video suggestion. Will try and put something together
thanks uncle PJ yes that is the one so on our fox we have the bottel coil with two seperate plugs on the one plug is a plain black wire and red/black and the other plug is green and blue or black not to sure so there where the cable coming from the caburetor i do not see another wire with a plug indicated on your video i think someone has removed it but will have a proper look this weekend thanks so much for the help and keep the good DIY things
dude i wanna bring my mk1 to you
Thanks .. Liked .. Maybe one day you show us how to remove and clean the carb and jets ???
Hi I have a video on that.see link below.. th-cam.com/video/WegejNNfooc/w-d-xo.html
Good video 👍
You are a godsend, can u please explain to me where all the vacuum hoses goes in the carb
Hi. I applied a little Victor reign around the accelerator pump spindle plastic seal. Seams like when operating the accelerator, the suction of the accelerator pump diaphragm sucked fuel from the float compartment and deposited past the top of the accelerator pump grommet resulting in the fuel leak.
Hey PJ, just wanna know can you maybe make a video on how to set the float of inside the carb?
Hi friend..what causes the engine to pre ignite/stutter when you switch off the car..then when i turn the key it continues running again..then i have to put car in gear.drop the class for engine to die
Good day i want to ask how to adjust the float level screww
Hi sir I know this is a lot to ask but can you please show us a video of how to service that curborater (replacement of parts) thank you
Hi,.. I'm planning to do that video shortly.. Pls subscribe, so you will be notified when it's up. Thanks for your suggestion
very professional
Thanks for the very helpful video. A quick question: I have a 1988 Golf mk2 1600 and it's carb looks very similar to this one. I'm having problems with it starting sometimes and I think it's flooding. In your video you refer to the brass bolt/screw on top (right rear) of the carb where you make adjustments for the amount of fuel flowing into the bowl. Do you know what that should be set to (factory setting) because I think mine has been adjusted and it could be the cause of the flooding?
Hi thanks for viewing,. Generally 2 and a half turns out(anti clockwise) . After you have turned it close.. But don't turn to hard when closing it,. Just gently..
nice one Paul
Thanks
Hi brother. My golf 1 habe a problem the water went in a fuel tank .i managed to clean a tank and i put new petrol but still no start PLS help
I have a 2nd stage problem. Now i can finally fix it. Much apprrciated.
Can you do a video on how to get the car to start 1st time. My buddy has a jumbo. His car start with the 1st swing and its also carb
Hi Shad. Glad to have been of assistance with your carb second stage. Just check the diaphragm if it has holes or tears in it.
Getting a car to start first time,( I assume u mean first swing).. You have to take a number of factors into consideration, like timing, carb etc..But will try my best to put out a video on it
Pls also ensure you subscribe now to the channel..
Ya i meant 1st swing lol. Already subscribed sir. Keep up the good work
Where can i find 2nd stage diagphrame?
@@heinzerpersens2528 Hi Heinzer. I have not actually seen the second stage diaphragm come with the carb kit. So I suggest that you try and get one off a second hand keihin carb. Depending on how damaged the existing diaphragm is, I wud think it can be repaired with silicon.
Howzit pj Bro can you make a vidoe explaining why the car runs fine but dies when i hold clutch in or brake drops reves and dies Or if you can assit on that issue would be awsome
Hi. Those symptoms point to an airleak somewhere.. Check brake booster and servo pipe.. Also the carb base plate if it's carbureted model
Yor i do have this type of carburater,and what u say whats is happening to me.car starts,is flutting and i see there are some oil underneath.and its rich on petrol.the performance is not so good.im using alot of petrol.
How can I wire up my vw MK2 that was running after market ECU to carb
What is the correct air fuel mixture settings on the screw? 2.5 turns?
Generally 2, 5 turns out Yes... But it could vary slightly from engine to engine...
i got a opel rekord 2.0i that i converted to vw carb.i got a electronic distrubutor,so no place for the electric wire from the carb.where can i now conect it to?
Can u recommend a good mk1 mechanic
Hi
My car is sluggish and does not want to go above 70km and is idling on 2000 to 3000 revs
Thanks mahn I got a problem by applying petrol it sounds like it wants to die and the all of a sudden it starts picking up refs??
Do you have a carb model, or fuel injected
Hey PJ.. my carb is dripping fuel from the stage 2 jet when the engine is off. and I did a service on the carb and the problem is still there. What do I do to fix the problem?
Hey PJ would just like to ask something when I bought my golf 1 it had a aftermarket carb eventually went faulty and couldn't repair it recently my friend had a brand new dorco carb I'm using it for a couple months now no issues do you have any idea if they good carbs cause in your video I see you talking about the kit and it's the same brand as my carb
Aftermarket carbs like Dorco are not bad ....Just don't fiddle unecessary on them ..Sometimes people have issues with their cars and they fiddle on the carb,..and it then turns out the issue was not even carb related..,and the poor aftermarket carb gets blamed..😊
Great video bumped into you in strandfontein had the yellow mk1 there a way to direct message you ?
Keep up the great work
Hi,.. Oh yes of course I remember. Sure my number is there on the channel.. Under the about section... 082 346 2437 whatsapp
Good stuff. My vaccum secondary is not opening
Hi Adolf. Have u taken off the secondary mechanism to check diaphragm inside?. Just check on that and also the little pipe that runs from it to the carb. Then also the lever lower down below, on your right. Sometimes that lever comes off.. Thanks for the comment and welcome.
hi pj hw doin
tell me what cause my vw mk1 carbuerettor to over fuel.....it takes long to start on some mornings n then it eventually starts after some n then i have a strong over fuel smell wen it starts.....car has also been very heavy on fuel recently.....i sprayed carb cleaner the other day to check if it will help....it did help but not fr long how ever 3 months ago u put fuel system cleaner in the tank wit about R200 fuel n i emptied the entire contents of the fuel system cleaner in the tank....the car ran very well afterwards n had no problem of jerking and stalling
so now i am not sure whats goin on with it
i have a 1.6 carb chico vw
Hi. It could be a bit of dirt in the needle and seat of the carb.. And yo determine that the carb must be opened up.... Another thing could be the float level may be too high. May need adjustment, or the carb is simply running too rich... Which means the air fuel screw needs to be turned in (clockwise)... A bit..
My KS2 conb keeps using lots of fuel please help
Hi uncle PJ where does the yellow cable at the back of the carburetor connects to im a bit confuse
Hi, are u referring to the idle cut off valve. If so, have a look at this Video. It's a Tik Tok vid.
vm.tiktok.com/ZMN4qLFK5/?k=1
Hi.is it normal for the float in the carburetor to have petrol inside?
Nope .. replace it sir
If fuel gets inside there it will become to heavy to float on the surface of the fuel,meaning you will experience over fueling because the needle and seat won't be able to close when it has to
Can you make a video for the full service of the carb ...
Hi thanks, I will be doing that shortly..
Hi Paul, maybe you can help me here, i have a VW Caddy bakkie, i unfortunately got rid of the orginal carb and is now replaced with pirate carb. The reason i got another carb is coz the bakkies revs shot up to 1.5 - 2000 rpm when i stood still at traffic lights or stop signs. So now heres my issue, got the pirate carb fitted by mechanic and now while im driving, as soon as i change gears especially when i drive the car past 3000 rpm then it stays reving high, sometimes the only way for me to bring the revs down is by giving the vehicle an even higher rev maybe to 4 or 5000 rpm then it sometimes drops down while changing gears. Any advice pls?
Hello Luis. It sounds like your second stage doesn't close completely after it opened, so to determine if it is in fact the case, when it happens again,pull off road, pop the hood and have a look at the carb, if you know where the second stage lever is, then push back on it,.. If the revs then drop to normal you found your culprit..( In other words the second stage valve is not completely closing)... To solve this check if there's any gunk on the lever of the second stage, spray some carb cleaner on to get rid of it, but afterwards spray some lubricant on the lever... Or just oil it up a wee bit. Also then spray some carb cleaner down the second stage throat. There could be dirt in there, obstructing the valve from closing enough. I had a similar issue, and also had to give the engine a hard Rev to get it to normalize. Hope this will help. Thanks
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy thanks Paul, i will let you know, btw, do you think that Q20 would help if i sprayed the lever?
@@luisgorgulho5223 yes Q 20 is perfect.. But just check that valve if it's not sticky or stuck.. So the lubrication with ease it is a bit..
Hi there sir, Can you please advise me on what causes backfiring through the carburetor when I Rev the vehicle. The car does not miss Fire, the plugs are new the ignition coils are new
Could be the ignition timing is not spot on.. Or even the valve timing.. But first try to set the ignition timing with a timing light.
Hey man, I am located in the united states and we never had a carbureted option on the post '84 cars. I'm very curious about the fuel system setup from tank to carburetor
Hi there, we still have many carbureted cars over here in SA, Especially on the MK1 Golf. Although also lots of fuel injected Mk1 too. What specifically do you need to know? .. I have a number of carburetor vids on this channel. Have you watched them yet?
Hi, PJ. The accelerator pump has rubber diaphragm. My question, on one side is a rim and the other side is just flat. Which side should be fitted to the base of the cover plate. My problem is that fuel squits out of the accelerator pin top past the rubber grommet when accelerating. Please assist
Hi .it could be the gasket inside the carb.,or the Phillips screw which holds the lid, or top of carb, in place that needs to be tightened bit more..
Thanks. I see that the carburetor kit that I installed has a diaphragm that is about 2 mm too small. I assume that fuel was leaking pass it and traveled up the accelerator spindle and the squirtin out the rubber grommet.
My citi golf 1 heater blower not working checked fuse it's ok what could be the problem? Thanks.
Hi.have a look at the motor itself .under the rain tray..check on the wiring .could be bad connection .or corrosion,which is common.
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy thank you broken.
Hi PJ, does the idle cutt off valve wire go to the ignition
Have a look at this clip👇 th-cam.com/users/shortsGTsibbCFHWY?feature=share
I looked at it, want to know if the one going back to the car goes to the ignition accessories
Can a faulty idle cut valve stop from idling ? Even if the idle cut valve clicks
Hi there, If in doubt about this rather replace it....
Pj, 2hat to do if you got a bowl overflow or leak, I tried setting , but still got a leak
If it's over fueling generaly then the big screw on top must be adjusted. Or, if that is not the problem, Change the internal gasket of the carb.. Or if you have the leak at the accelerator pump, change the diaphragm
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy All set, now I got another issue the car is misfiring its not timing cause before I rebuilt the carb, it's was fine, and even when i tune the carb well still its misfire, it's also not the plugs they new, can it be that I didn't earth the carb properly? Cause when I take off the idle valve wire from the coil it still runs, badly thou🤕
Thank you for the tips, where can one get the carb kit?
Hi, these kits are obtainable at placed like Goldwagen, etc... But buy a good quality kit. Especially for the gasket sake..
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy Thank you
Oom my carbs vacuum os not very strong, the pipe does not have aleak,
I noticed you blocked off the choke diaphragm pipe...is it best not connected? Also how do the pipes connect for stage two vacuum advance?
Yes.. Best blocked off.. But that is actually for engines that have aircon. Doesnt really even serve any purpose with regard to choke. If that diaphragm in there has holes in it you will suck air into your carb. If yours is still connected make sure its not leaking /sucking air.. If so block of both sides especially the port that comes out of carb. Once I blocked off mine my engine ran smoother..
Vacuum advance pipe runs from a port behind the carb, and gets attached to vacuum advance unit on the distributer
Hi Pj's,...Thanks for the Info, Where can one buy/find the "Victor Reinz Oil/Petrol sealer"?
Hi.. The Victor Rhienz sealer can be bought at any spares shop... It's about R100 a tube.. Very good stuff..
I've been seeing people using induction kits and or "stacks" , will that have an effect on the car (problem wise`) when it comes to carburetor
Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. Slipped through the cracks on my side.. Yes these kits and stacks dont really do much for carb models.. Best to use the standard airbox....
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy love it!!
Thanks
Hi paul why did you block the one pipe ,my car is 1.4 but it chows the fuel
Hi. That pipe is not needed unless you have an aircon model Golf mk1.. That part basically brings the idle up once aircon is activated... But I don't know of aircon carb models in SA. If u say your carb is heavy, when last was it tuned.?
Hi Paul can you explain the black pipes around the carb please
@@heinzerpersens2528. Can you pls clarify, which pipe shud I explain?
@@pjs-golfmk1-diythe 2nd stage and the 1 you blocked off
@@heinzerpersens2528 Hi the second stage pipe is attached to a port on the carb, which sucks in to activate the second stage diaphragm. The pipe I blocked off is just a component used on vehicles that have aircon, so it's really of no use, so therefor blocked it.
I wonder if my carb is not flooding as i put on electric feul pump and no vapour chamber, car only rums perfect with choke on. What symptoms are there if the car is flooding
Well,if it is flooding, you would have strong smell of fuel constantly, hard starting,wet spark plugs,.. Fuel dripping onto manifold etc
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy yes i think stage one is maybe blocked, i am going to clean them like you showed, and just wamted to say i really appreciate all your help, here in the uk nobody knows nothing, when i come to visit my family in Durbanville i wamt to meet up and buy you loads of beer
Lol.. Loads of beer.. Nice man.. So you from Durbanville, but now Living in UK. One other thing is if u say it actualy runs better on choke, then it could mean the air/fuel mix is not right... And that there's too much air flowing through.. So try and richen up the mixture a bit... Basically needs tuning... There is a video on tuning, if you haven't yet watched it...
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy yes watched that yr many times
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy i am actually from Sasolburg in the freestate but my family moved to Durbanville
why is your choke diaphragm closed?
That is actually not a choke diaphragm.. Does nothing with regard to choke. It's there for engines with air-conditioning,. It compensates, or raises idle, when airconditioner is activated
Or where r u based in Cape Town
Hi. Where did you buy this kit?
At the local spares shop.. But GOldwagen sells it too
Do you have a part number please?
All details in the about section of the channel
where did you buy the kit ?
Most spares shops sell them, like Goldwagen.
Fucking life saver
