In this video I renew a vw bus engine and convert from fuel injected to carbureted. While doing this all tins and hardware was restored. I also drive this bus for the first time in 11 years!

Excellent video. I have my '78 rebuild in progress and intend to follow your example for carb conversion. Can you provide any information about your start-stand? I am dreading fabrication of my own DIY version.

I agree with the one carb. No need to synchronize and the linkage easier of course.

I just bought a 1979 that has a halfway done EFI to dual solex conversion. The carbs are EMPI I have an old single Webber 32/36 setup like the one shown in this video. Unfortunantly the wiring is all disconnected and tangled up. I need to know more about wiring the conversion. The EFI brainbox and the EFI harness are both missing. Any information you have would be great! Thanks!

Can I ask what you did with the line from the fuel evaporative system? Where does that end up on the carb setup?

The stock FI injection system is stone reliable and easy to maintain for anyone that can read a manual.

What would this cost to have done? I have a 79 that’s needs this done and would like to know a ballpark.

So how much HP did you lose by going back to a carb?

@driveanalog747 3 жыл бұрын

5hp-10hp not enough to notice. It makes up in reliability!

@adrianmarti7484 Жыл бұрын

If anything you might gain hp, a new carb it's always better then a old wore out FI system

Just put an electronic inline fuel pump in. Make sure it’s a low pressure one.

Center mount carb doesn't belong on a type 4 engine. All type 4 engines either had dual carburetors or FI.
