Yeah, looks like your standard Weber progressive setup, a 32/36DFAV or somesuch. I put one of those in my first Fasty because I was young, stupid, and knew nothing about how to work on the FI (and the internet didn't really exist for me back then for someone to tell me about the beauty that is the D-Jet). What is sheer amusement is the fact that there's a box instead of the usual hump that's cutout on the engine lid (said hump comes with the carburetor kit), and that there's what seems to be a fecacta cold-air intake system that takes air from about where the FI brain should be to this carburetor hump. The fact that it's using what appears to be dryer ducting is just plain amusing. I would have to wonder whether the suction from the engine would actually draw warm air back from the ducting into the engine cooling, rather than supply cold air to the carb. What I'm curious about is how well the genny is driving the "2 amps" and all them speakers. Final piece of amusement- they went to all that trouble to put an external oil filter, only to use a Fram filter there- when everyone knows (or should know) that Fram filters are hands down the worst pieces of crap around. Take one apart sometime- they're so shoddily made it's nearly criminal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
