If needle &seat is leaking,.... would it not flood over the top of carb to outside ?,......this "thing" will idle the tank empty,.....no issue.......
So,......both removed carb & manifold will be on it's way to a "specialist" in Capetown to sort manif and jetting out on a flow testbench.

Do you guys know of this gent .

There was'nt perhaps an electric fuel pump fitted recently?
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).

That could very well be it. What is the fuel pressure that the pump supplies?

2.5Bar might be way too much for the carb.
2.5Bar = roughly 36Psi
Weber carbs need around 5-7 Psi which is aroung 0.5Bar.
So, it would just push it past the needle and seat straight into the engine.

Weber carbs need a pressure of no more then 2.3 PSI

Vw Solex will take 2.5 PSI

I think Nick meant PSI not bar.as that will blow any carb, but fuel injection.

Hi Nick, has the expert come back with your carb......

Whats the finding ...

or does he recommend a number plate conversion..... :shock:

Where you crane up the two number plates, and slide a new car in-between .... :roll:

:TIC:

Jip,....carb is back jetted, but biggest change was made to manifold base. Getting things ready to assemble, but my friend has taken a turn for worse and is back in hospital,.....dehydration due to excessive vomitting. He's better though.
Will take a peek at the jetting as well .
Will share pics

Thank for asking Herman
