it was.... i need to take it out and give it a good paint again! had to take the rocker cover off aswell as it was not breathing well and blowing the oil cap off!

floydy what is the advance/retard that has been removed and the 3 air feeds on the carb that have been blanked out?
im not to clued up in all the carb stuff
i removed the choke flap and spindle and got rid of all the choke crap made a big difference just idles low when cold but good when warm
al thow my pierburg only wakes up after 3000 rpm when the second choke opens
so av just bought a webber 32-34 carb to fit instead and get it bak on the rollers to see if its any quicker
we had a pierburg on a scirocco that we rigged the second choke with vac pipes (but i'm going back 20 years) at 1/2 throttle it was all economy, at full throttle, it flew, but really chucked fuel down the inlet... i wish i could remember how we rigged it up.
That's the trouble with Vacuum secondaries, total pain in the ****. Best thing to do (for a road car) is bin it and fit a Weber conversion (32/34DMTL seems to ring a bell). For the Stockcar, I'm not sure that they can bin them, they have to run original carbs, often with a restrictor plate. Certainly do in NASA grasstrack - the trick there was to fit a 38DGS off a 3L Capri/Granada which had synchronised chokes. Jetted correctly, even with the silly restrictor, the performance was miles better than a 32DGAV that would be more common.
fella came to look at my carb done the same as said before and then blocked of all the other vacuum pipes. dam! 2nd choke is sticking. not opening right and then not closing fully and making the car not idle right.
returned it to normal and checked the 2nd choke defo sticking
any way to free them up without a stripping session?
