Attached is a link to ebay. These are the carbs im thinking about using for my 72 1.7 liter. Just curious if anyone has ever used these and if they are easy to tune. |

Hi Joe,
I put in a set that are probably similar last year. I got the Weber 34 ICT duals off ebay. (webercarbsdirect I think) Overall I am pleased, even with them on a 2 liter engine. I did have to do a little modification to the brackets holding the linkage bar and air filters, but not a major deal. You may also need to change the jets. (At least I needed to go larger.) I've read some negative comments about the Weber guys, but my experience with them was very positive. You'll need to make some kind of bracket for the throttle cable and you'll need a low pressure fuel pump. You'll also probably want to get a guage to balance the airflow on the two carbs, a larger return spring to help with the linkage, and there probably are other things that I simply don't remember. Good luck and have fun. Chris |

I'm not a big fan of the 34 ict's. They are only good on a 1600 VW engine. They do not flow well on engine bigger than that. Your best bet would be to find a clean set of Dellorto 40's and rebuild them if needed...
