StevenC=> 'Tomspec Co.", ... Anybody heard of them? Not me. => Are the original Solex ones offered by Mofoco the best to get? Seems like a good bet. => How sensitive is the carb to the height of the float valve? Very much so, but it's not a matter of how tightly the valve is installed. The usual problem is a wrong part: the correct fiber washer for the float valve is over 1mm thick. Many rebuild kits leave this out or get it wrong. => Where can I find the technical specifications for the carbs? A couple of listees have carb manuals on their Websites, and I expect they'll pipe up presently. There are several manuals with good general info, but for the no-nonsense numbers look for a Without Guesswork VW service manual, Types 1, 2 and 3 , '60-'70. These are market-specific, designed for use by dealer service personnel, so you might even find one for Oz.
