Who can tell me about these carbs!!

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

Who can tell me about these carbs!!

Post by Big-Osh »

I have a set of carbs I know nothing about. They have the Weber w marking on the carb it self but nothing else. The manifold has several markings. ( VW, OOOO, VARG, 2?V and 0401295262). Thanks for your time and help.

I'm betting that the "W" logo mean weber, like brazillian "baby webers,"
DFV 228

Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

I was looking at the parts diagram. It is close to what I have not exact. My carb gas lever is part of the carb. Not like in the pic. I will get better pics tomorrow. Thanks for your time and help. What might they be worth?

the intakes look like they belong on whatever motor came with dual kadron/solex carbs due ot the chambe below the carb, so they would mate up with those carbs fine, although I see no port for an equalizer tube. is there a port or hole about 3/8 to half inch in diamter on them somewherE?
give a man a watch and he'll allways know what time it is. give him two and he can never be sure again.

Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.

I took the carbs to work and put them in a tank of PD-680. It cleaned them up a little better. I was able to get the one apart. I took out a round piece that fits between the carb bowl and the butterfly valve. This piece is marked with a 28 which I guess it means the size of the carb. When I first looked at the carbs I thought there was only two parts. I was wrong, there is three. Here are a few more pics.

I do belive teh little ring is called a venturi or venturi ring, I could be mistaken. You can go bigger or smaller to match the motor it is going on.

I was going to put them on my current project , but decided to go with a single web 40 instead. I was cleaning them up to turn them into book end. I have been asked what I want for them. I just not sure what to ask for them. They need to be rebuilt and personally if some one could use them I would be happier. Thnaks for your time and help.
