Just for you to bear in mind I've got a twin choke Weber 32/34 dmtl in the garage jetted for a 1.8

Locate the idle screw mate and turn it which ever way to adjust the idle (tick over) speed, not sure where it is on the pierberg though.

I fitted a Jetex System without any problems, it doesn't hit anything and doesn't knock or rattle but the middle box does catch on stuff like speed bumps so I have to go over them carefully but then again it's also slammed on coilovers. I've thought of replacing the middle section with a straight ...

ah right thanks

Right my car has never had a rear view mirror since I bought it, all it has is a metal bit thats stick to the screen so will a replacement mirror snap onto this?

If so does anyone have a spare one knocking about?

Ok so quick update... It's sorted! I fitted the above spade connector end into the return hose but that turned out to be not very restrictive at all so I fitted an additional slightly smaller one and that did it. The car fires up instantly from hot or cold now and doesn't flood, also idle problem ...

I thought the carb models didn't come with fuel pumps and they had mechanical ones built in to the block, or something of the sort? Yes they have a mech pump bolted on the block which is operated by a cam via a lobe on the pump. I suppose if you're wanting to locate the pump in your engine bay you ...

Ok I've dug out a Y piece and a length of fuel hose this evening and inserted a 'restrictor' which I made from a blue spade crimp connector of all things, I snipped the spade end off and this went in snugly, so hopefully it'll work ok. I'll fit it tomorrow. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a157 ...

Yeah it makes sense doesn't it. I was thinking the exact same thing in terms of a restriction - using an inner sleeve made from a piece of vac pipe. I'm going to swap out the weber anyway and I'm also going to fit a return line via a T or a Y piece with a restrictor in place. I'll probably do this ...

Have I serviced it? I certainly have. I started with cleaning out the tank of rust then popped a few large magnets close to the pickup pipe, then blew the fuel line through with a pump, replaced the inline fuel filter, blew the pipe to the pump out, replaced the pump with a new one, blew the pipe ...

The broken emulsion is the F-30 one but I stuck it back in and still works, well it still works the same as before, like no change lol. I've been running it since I fitted the new rubber mount without the airbox fitted so it's not touching the bonnet at all anymore and it's still dying when I brake ...

Today I whipped out the jets just to blast (again) with carb cleaner just to be sure and to double check the sizes for the 1.8 and I believe them to be correct? Primary: Idle 55 Air corrector 145 Emulsion F-30 Jet 117 Secondary: Idle 60 Air corrector 200 Emulsion F-33 Jet 127 Then... things got ...

I havn't posted a picture of my carb, that was bengould's. I was wondering what that wire was for because mine doesn't have that. I'm starting to look back at the carb now, it's now the only thing it can be, but what? My new theory (as afore mentioned about the float height) is that when I'm braking ...

Sorry I wasn't grasping that you had found the possible issue with the vac hose last night half asleep :wakey: This is how it looks on my car.. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee319/maccoll_photos/IMAG0656.jpg I might have spares from my old Scirocco if you're stuck but won't be near my workshop ...
