hi dave, i`m going to have a look at the carb on saturday and see if i can some how get the screw out - i`ve got another single solex carb spare off a beetle and i can see if the mixture screw from that`ll fit - a long shot i know! i couldn`t find the thread with the guy in Yukon. i`m in the uk, and i`m on a tight budget too! so i`m going to try and fix or get someone else to for me! thanks mike -----Original Message----- From: Dave Hall [mailto:dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk] Sent: 08 July 2004 13:07 To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: Re: [T3] Engine Number and timing marks!!?? > i have to admit there is a problem with the left carb in that, the mixture screw is snapped off inside the thread, but they are running even but very rich . unfortunatley, there`s not much i can do about this other than try to obtain a new carb from somwhere, or try and remove the broken thread(looks nigh on impossible - i have removed a few before) - i`d also need a replacement screw also. > The guy we were talking about with the NOS parts in Yukon has them at a price. Better to get another carb with one in. If you've got a rich mixture, it's likely to go fizz rather than bang occasionally. Dave.
