I had the same experience with the Throttle Return Spring. It was too weak. I replaced it with a spare, from the same vender and the package was labeled the same. It was a much stronger spring and the problem was solved. Parts can be hit or miss, these days.

1/4 turn out on the throttle-arm screw. This turning in idea is basesd on a mis-translation from the German shop manual, when the 34PICT-3 came out. But, the throttle arm screw is used to adjust the idle on the 30 pict series carbs.

Thanks, I like those trikes. There was a time I almost got one in a purchase deal with another car , but the gentlemen changed his mind and gave it to his son to restore. In our last volksfest we had a few ones , and I know for sure one won to 50 picks; but they all left before the handling of the awards. Thanks or the feedback.

Hi great video and running a 74 1200 I'm always watching info video's One thing your fuel filter is between the pump and carb I think ! I saw someone say it should be before the pump because they can split under pressure , any you got a new subscriber cheers Tim

Good day, thank for your comments. At the time I did this video I had an additional filter connected in the outlet let between the carb and the pump. I removed it. Actually my permanent filter is installed immediately after the fuel line exists the tunnel outside from the engine compartment.

Where can you buy that screw at 6:08 minute mark. Have a 1974 VW Bug and screw missing or fell out so need to keep foot on gas pedal to not konk out. Order from Jbugs one but does not screw in and dies not have thin tip you have on yours.

@juniorclassicvwbugs924 2 жыл бұрын

For now am good with how Sunny looks and is performing. Things I know I am going to change; the carb; I am swapping it for an original solex; I have a couple and I am going to refurbish them. Inside the car I am going to change the interior side panels for the original stripe line ones but I the same current tan color. I cannot think of anything else I would change…lol… I guess now I am going to focus on restoring Frankenstein. I have received a few donations from the Volkswagen community and I have a few part myself that I may use and other I could sale to make road worthy. Thanks for always sharing your feedback. I really appreciated.

On the 34 PICT 3 after I set my adjustment on the throttle volume adjustment, the volume control screw settings to where they need to be , the. I slowly adjust the the bypass screw until my thacomehter reads 800 to 900 RPM. I hope this helps. I am always reading different tech books and the may vary a little from one to another. But one I really like is the Volkswagen service manual for super beetle , beetles & Karmann ghia 1970 to 1079 from the Bentley Publishers. I purchased mine in Amazon.

Maybe I missed an explanation to do with your oil pressure gauge, but I am curious to know why the low oil pressure warning light in the dash is staying on. Thanks.

@juniorclassicvwbugs924 10 ай бұрын

Good question! , I have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge installed and when I wired it for some odd reason the light came on , but the aftermarket gauge is reading pressure alright. I think it’s a la a result of a jumper I used and the group polarity do the OEM dummy light va the aftermarket gauge. That has been correct since.

1970 to 74 came with a Solex 34 pict 3 , if your engine is all stock ; you shop be fine with the 34 pict 3. If you want your car to gain a little more power you can always set up a dual carb system. That is a personal choice and also matters how you build your engine.

I wonder if you might have any immediate reaction to this short video of my '71 Super having trouble starting? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9x7pr2Zl8u8iqM.html The previous owner had installed a carb that had an unfamiliar adjustment on it and it was running rough, so I swapped it out with a standard 34PICT-3 that had been included with the sale. After the swap, the car started up and was running okay, but when I tried to drive it the engine whimpered out. Subsequent attempts to start have all been as shown in the video. I have adjusted the auto choke, put the volume controls into standard settings, and set the fast idle adjuster to the throttle camber as described in every video I have seen. But it keeps doing the same thing and just won't stay running. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. The link again is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9x7pr2Zl8u8iqM.html

@juniorclassicvwbugs924 Жыл бұрын

Hi there Junior from classic vw bugs. When you swapped the carb did you make sure your static time was correct? It sounds like the timing is off. If your engine timing is off, your vehicle may run poorly or not at all. This can cause your engine to stall or run rough. I would start there. Then I would clean the carb before reinstalling it. That is what would do if I was having that issue.

The OEM I just restored, and will be sharing the swap in my next video currently has this configuration size 55 idle, size X127. 5 main, and size 100Z-120Z air correction jets.
