You know, the stock Solex carbs work REALLY well for a stock engine and are already jetted. There's no way you can set a value on the documentation that is already out there for these, and they already come with all the features that you need to make the car nicely drivable. I could see that changing might be a challenge, but you'd spend a lot of time and money just trying to get it to run as well with the new carbs as it did with the old OE ones. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
