Weber carbs
Last summer i bought a pair Weber 34 ICT carbs with some worn out bushes (the ones on the throttle-shaft). It makes the engine run a bit bad.. So last week i finally started to dismantle one of the carbs.
I also bought a very handy book!
These screws have to come loose!
The bushes are marked with the red arrow.
On the dutch bay-forum there was someone who offered to help me out with replacing the bushes and check the other parts of the carbs. I asked him about placing a fuel regulator because the Weber carbs like lesser pressure than the (standard) fuelpump will give. It wouldn't be nessary if the float needles close perfect.
This guy is somebody with a lot of knowlege on vw engines. Here's a photo of his own oldspeed baywindow engine:
This engine has enough torque and power, even from 3rd gear going trough a corner and it picks up beautifull and there are no rpm drops between the gears.
Engine specs: stock crank,1641cc, Schleicher 292 degree cam, Riechert 34 pci carb set(polished inlet manifolds), NOS stock heads with a compressio ratio of 1:7.8 and polisched inlets ports and valves, Bosch 010 distibutor,the crank, rods and flywheel are fine ballanced. This engine runs with a modified beetle exhaust. And the gearbox code is CE.
This guy is also going to help me place the Weber carbs. It will take about 2 months due to work. I don't mind as i can learn a lot from him!

Last week a busfriend of mine called Max took care of some cracks in the paint. After taking of some old paint with the sanding machine it wasn't so bad.
No rustdevil in the bare metal!!
After discovering the cracks this summer, i have been putting on carwax a few times, even in the cracks. And it looks like it helped!
Taking away loose paint.
Max sanding the spot.
After the sanding.
First layer of polyester fill, second layer to follow.
Spraying primer, also two layers
The result! Whatertight!
The bus couldn't park insides Max's garage and the outside temparture was to low to spray on the beautiful Savannabeige.
We 'll do it in the coming spring.
Next project will be putting on double carbs on the 1641 cc engine!
