What do you want to know? Been through my share of VW motors. And a lot of dual carb tuning on them.

My buddy has a 1600 that he has just installed for his sandrail. He has a dual port weber carb and is not sure what the jetting should be. The carb came off an 1835.

Sorry can't help you with that. I always ran duals and I can't even remember what size I ran with my diferent motors. Has he tried to run it yet the way it is?

Can't help on Weber's or performance stuff. I'm strictly a Classic enthusiast. Want info on restoring or stock Bugs? I'm your guy.
But for the trick stuff, I'm in the dark, and will probably screw it up.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, though. :)

this is mainly for the kadron dual carbs used on vws but same concept or will help.As for weber carbs the singles may hard to fine tune.The weber progressive carbs are known to be a big pain.the idf type are better but in a single carb application there will most likely always be a flat spot.
