I have dual Dellorto carbs on my 2.0 and I've had them tuned a few times by a shop by my house but I feel like it still doesn't have very great throttle response. Also, the carbs cough above 3,000 rpm and I'm getting popping out of the exhaust under deceleration. Any advice about what is going on with my carbs and any recommendations of shops in SoCal that do quality work on type 4s would be awesome!
Thanks in advance, Jon |

IMHO and experience, if you are going to keep the carbs you are going to have to learn to tune them yourself as they invariably need constant attention. It will be a real pain on your time and wallet otherwise. I gave my friend an engine with dual carbs once but i had to take them off 6 months later as it was bad for both of us with him having to call me all the time for simple adjustments. There is an excellent book called "Dellorto superformance" available more in the vw world but that should get you on the right track. They sound lean but as other posts said start with basic jetting. Best of luck
