I've used the standard non-electric jets on these carbs with success. They're much more reliable than the electromagnetic ones, but they come in different (jet) sizes, so either match them with the numbers that are on the electromagnetic ones, or be prepared to do some carb tuning tests to get the right size for your engine setup. They can cause some dieseling on shutoff, but I've found that usually is not a problem when the carbs are tuned correctly. --- Nathan '62 Notch '57 Bug --- ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
