The cowl we cut out will work nicely to fix that. I have a spare, good pedal cluster, and you should look at the linkage that's on my 2.0. You're welcome to try it out before you have to buy another one. I'd be interested in trading for that backpad, too. I even have a couple of decent later ones to replace it with, along with a second seat.

I actually have a near perfect early backpad and passenger seat sitting in my garage.. it's "barterrific!" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I don't need another pedal cluster, I'm just going to leave the rebuilt one in and rebuild the one that came out of it for my "keeper".

That'd be a 1973 ROW 1.7 with an EA code 0-68 block.

Actually the connecting rod supports "look" adequate. Do they flex?

As was pointed out, you need to adjust the "angle" of your throttle cable bracket to allow the cable to make a straight line to the linkage arm.

You could upgrade the down linkage to heim joints and remove slop. If you decide to replace all the linkage, check with Dave at Triad. They offer a nice kit.

I would definitely remove and clean those carbs! And while doing so, spend some time inspecting all the jets for damage from PO abuse and make sure they all match in size.

Yeah, they flex.. The reason the cable angle is bad is because I moved the whole rod up, because the linkages with the heim joints are too long, and the arms that push them down were pointing almost straight up. It made the pedal even harder to push.. If I shorten the heim joint linkages and lower the rod back down, this linkage may be workable.


Where's the best (cheapest?) place to get a webber rebuild kit?

No, the holes for the side indicators are there, just fiberglassed over. It's also a 71, and according to that site the EA was 72-73 only.

Are there additional springs on the throttle linkage? Mine had additional springs that you could attach to make it return (better/faster???) but it could make for a really stiff pedal.

It only has 1 spring on each carb, but they're pretty stiff.

Are you talking about the return spring on the carb? I am talking about an extra spring on the linkage. Mine didn't need it. I don't have a pic handy to show you mine. But if we are talking the about the same thing, disconnect them and see if that helps.

..

Well, since you said "cheapest"... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I found two "rebuild" kits at my local Bug establishment. There may be better prices elsewhere. I'd shop.

There is the "lite" kit that has gaskets & rubber O-rings... 9.99 per carb.

The other kit has the above plus "needle & seat" for the float and a new diaphragm... 39.99 per carb.

I bought the lite kit since my carbs are only 3 years old.

If you don't have any idea as to the age or real condition of your carbs, there is a test you can do that might save some money. You can place a very small vial under the jet nozzle and see if all four pump the same amount of fuel repeatedly. If they do, the diaphragms are probably okay. I can look up the amount of cc's they are supposed to pump if you want. Do not dismantle the diaphragm unless you have a new replacement.

You can do a visual inspection of the needle & seat. If they look okay under some sort of magnification, they may be okay. If they look good, and the diaphragms seem to being their job, then the "lite" kit may take care of you. It's a gamble. You may save 60 bucks or you may end up spending 20 bucks plus 80 bucks and doing it twice. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

There are others here that are more knowledgeable. If you just want to be done with it, pop $$ for the big kit.

But as long as you DIY, you'll be way ahead in the end.
