Amazing carb for the price!
It cured my idle circuit problem of rough/no idle and the flat spot when accelerating. I ordered it from Amazon last night at 6 PM and they delivered it this morning at 4 AM. I inspected inside the bowl and everything was good to go. I left the 127 main jet and the 55 idle jet as received and did not change to the extra 137 main and 60 mm idle jets. I fine tuned the idle air/fuel mixture (smaller screw on driver side of carb) and then set the idle at 900 RPM using the bigger screw. Then I also set the choke/idle screw to match the RPM I had set before using the bigger screw on the driver side. Then I set the SVDA distributor timing at 30 degrees at 3000 RPM with the vacuum advance disconnected (with a piece of tape over the end of the port on the card to prevent a vacumn leak). After timing, I removed the tape and connected the vacumn advance hose to the carb vacumn port. Runs great now!

Super beetle carb
Carb for Super beetle, easy install, made minor adjustment and it runs great. Solid idle and good acceleration. Hope it lasts but for now really happy.

Great replacement
We had a car that sat for a long time. We installed this carburetor in it. It worked wonderful after cleaning out the fuel tank and line

Better than broken
Worked out of the box. Been driving with it, about 3k miles on the carb so far. No issues other than the choke element needed adjustment and wore out fast. Replaced with a spare choke. Everything else was plug and play and worked for much less than any other competition (looking at you jbugs)

Fantastic value, works great.
I had pretty low expectations for this carb, but boy was I surprised! This thing worked great, straight out of the box. Very minimal adjustment and it was up and running with easy starts and no bogging. Highly recommend.

Revitalized our 61 Bug!
Our 1961 Bug with a Brazilian Solex carb was having issues sputtering, stalling (especially going downhill), and was dieseling/running on after ignition shutoff. This carb fixed all of those problems and now she runs better than ever. A few things to note: It comes pre-mounted with an adapter to fit this 30/31 carb on a 34 manifold. Take this off if you're doing a straight swap of a 30/31. Our car was originally 6V and converted to 12 volt at some point. Due to the larger generator, the carb wouldn't fit initially as it was just a tad bulkier in that spot than our old one. We had to buy a spacer. 1/2" and 1" spacers are readily available from many vendors. You will also likely have this issue if you have a generator to alternator conversion. You will have to adjust this carb after installing, and the number of turns for the screws may not match what would tune a genuine Solex. At first it was idling very slow and running very rich. I discovered that the volume control screw will go in quite a few turns tighter than you would intially think; it doesn't turn as easily as on the old Solex. Once I figured this out, I was able to adjust the mixture and idle properly. Note in my video that our car runs and drives best with the idle set a bit fast. Can't beat the price on this and it looks great. I also like that it has a barbed fuel inlet which appears to be threaded in, which provides some fire protection. We have the 009 distributor and the notorious 2nd gear flat spot is very noticeable before the car gets warmed up. After it's warm it's not a big deal. Will it stand the test of time? We'll see; so far, so good!

The carbuerator came well packed in box . It is important that explain that I am a retired ford engine fault nianostic engineer and have a excelled in this field. The item is high quality and has delt with common T2 bay carbuerator fault like venture air flow at high speed also giving you the buyer the option of self jetting the main jet system to your SEP thank Amazon for making my day.

LLEGO ANTES DE LO PROMETIDO, PERFECTAMENTE EMPACADO. LO COMPRE PORQUE CADA VEZ ES MÁS DIFICIL ENCONTRAR REFACCIONES DE CALIDAD PARA EL VW. ES IGUAL A COMO LO MUESTRA LA PUBLICIDAD. POR EL MOMENTO SE QUEDARÁ DE REFACCIÓN. DURANTE LOS 54 AÑOS DE LA VIDA DE VW HE COMPRADO MUCHOS CARBURADORES Y ÉSTE ESTÁ A LA ALTURA DE TODOS ELLOS.
