That's the best video of carb adjustment on a Volkswagen I've ever seen and I have been looking. That motor is very smooth. And very tight. Very good job. It's easy to see that you really know those Volkswagen motors.

Thank you a thousand times. Frequent stalling plaqued the car (‘73 Super Beetle) to the point it was pushed aside and replaced. After viewing this “how to” I removed the idle screw on the right side, cleaned it, blew it out and voila!!! In 15 minutes it was running beautifully and returned to being a daily driver. I wish I discovered this site a long time ago. Thanks again

Thanks so much for the tips on how to set the carb and get the flat spots out. I lost my buddy Mr. Charlie he was 91 years old. He was like you, he built motors and dune buggies.. If I had a question I could call him up.Thanks for sharing your videos.

Man, best video so far. Everyone skipped cleaning the idle jet when it would die at idle. Pulled it, soaked and shook it in carb cleaner for 10 minutes, seems to have fixed the problem! Now I just need to wait for daylight and a proper length screwdriver to adjust the two screws on the left side and I am golden. Thanks for the quick and informative video!

Hey VWdarrin, thank you, man. That tip of cleaning the 8mm jet first really works!!! You can feel/hear the difference, given everything else with the carb is right. I took it out and cleaned it with carb cleaner screwed it back in and now it purrs and meows.

This is another great video!!! I really appreciate how comfortable you are in explaining things. Most mechanics, even if they are great mechanics, are not very good at actually teaching people things. You do a great job of explaining while you are actually doing things, which addresses two learning styles at the same time. Oh, and it helps that you actually really know what you are talking about!

Hey Darrin, I have a 1600 dual port engine what's a 34 pict carb, I am getting a flat spot similar to what you are referring to later in your video. I have the accelerator pump set all the way out to give it Max fuel, what else could be my issue? Do you think I have an intake leak? Engine idles good and RPMs can be set as low as 800. Do you think I need to play around with jets?

Hey Darrin. I've got an issue with my 1973 Westfalia. It has a newer 2000cc pancake motor with hydraulic lifters that I think is from a 1977 bus. I have set my timing using a light. The bas runs but it is hard to keep started. When I try to start it sometimes it backfires out of the carb. Once it is running it will drive normally when up to higher rpms. Would carb adjustment be to blame for the backfiring through carbs? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
