Re: [T3] carburator replacement


DaveB=> i'd like to go with a carb that's more attuned
=> to fuel economy.  any suggestions?

Next to replacing your FI system, the best solution is stock dual carbs. The
stock Type 3 single carb really isn't enough for a 1600, and any non-VW
single carb I've heard about is guaranteed to overfuel. This isn't just an
economy issue, it also shortens the life of the motor.

You're doing the right thing by rethinking your fuel system, I'd just advise
you to be prepared to go a lot further than bolting on another carburetor.
