EZGZ is THE KING of KINGS

you all probably dont care at all but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can give me.

@Yael Yahir Instablaster :)

@Kason Dario Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Kason Dario it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account !

Congratulations! I appreciate the support!

Glad you liked it!

Thats good feedback. Thank you!

Glad to help

I appreciate your support! Glad you found it helpful.

Glad I could help

Hey James. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I gotta go back and watch some of my own vids to remember how and what I did. Old age is not for sissy's.

Yep it pays to have a factory service manual sometimes.

@@TheEZGZ I should definitely try to round one up. I have a great book but not a manual.😕

Great to hear!

I'm tryin. I appreciate your friendship and support Loyd

Wow, thanks!

Some times one cleaning and rebuild isn't enough. You may have to check and reclean to get the specs right. When you get the fuel and air screw just where you like it you might want to turn out the fuel screw 1/4 turn out to richen it up.

Glad I could help. Hope you get lots of smiles to the miles.

Thanks for the comment and feed back. Good Luck with your project.

Never take a new carburetor out of the box and just put it in service without taking it apart and checking the float level and inlet valve. Remove all the jets and screws to make sure everything looks and tests OK. You wouldn't believe all the things that can be wrong. Just sayin. I am sure you did all that.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great Minds thing alike. God Bless

Glad it helped. Have a great day!

Very cool!

Thanks for letting me know. Give that choke screw an extra 1/4 turn just to make sure it is the stop and not the butterfly :-)

Glad to help

Thanks Alan! I appreciate the support

Glad it helped. Good Luck with your project

Glad I could help

Glad to hear it!

Back at you my friend

Just like you I try and keep things rolling. Thanks for checking in

Thanks Dan. I'm always hoping one of those guys will come along and share those secrets with us.

I always remember back in High School being able to buy 97 octane leaded and it being so expensive. Like 79cents a gallon. LOL

Good to hear that you agree to most of the vid. You have a very good understanding of the VW engine design. Since the vid was made I have changed to a new SVDA pertronix pointless distributor. The engine is much happier and gets a few more MPG to boot. You should consider making some vids to help the VW community. I agree on just a touch of preload. Thanks for you comment and support.

Sounds like a dream come true. Where do I go to buy one? Can you give me a link to website or what.

Was thinking about enlargement and wondering at what point the intake manifold would become a problem with those larger venturi's. It would also need plenty of heat on that manifold.

Type „Solex 39“ on the german eBay site which is eBay.de and the first hit will be the solex 34 pict 3 with 39 mm throttle

TheEZGZ Here is what I did and why: trying to get some more torque and hp out of my 1969 1500 singleport Karmann-Ghia coupe without touching or opening the crankcase because of matching numbers and so on and without changing the look of the engine: Replaced pistons and cylinders to 88 mm AA Performance slippers, 044 heads with 40 mm intake and 35.5 mm outtake valves, compression ratio was 8,25:1, stock heater boxes, stock exaust, 1.25:1 ratio rocker arms. Result on dyno: 79 hp @ wheels and 144 NM of torque, gps measured real top speed on highway was 161 km/h with stock gearbox - incredible to me. But I kept on doing some more: Some work on the ports plus polishing, compression ratio up to 8.6:1, heater boxes with also 35.5 mm diameter, 123 Electronic ignition

TheEZGZ But still haven‘t been on the dyno again but sounds and feels stronger and of course even faster. Tryed out my solid shaft 1.4:1 rocker arms finally after lying around my garage for years...Never dared to shorten pushrods, but finally did. Torque torque torque...😎

I'm in Loveland, never done a meet up. Drove the Dune buggy up to Estes park today. 70 degrees and dry roads. Rocky National Park was close:-( Was thinking of paying for a table next year for the spring VW's on the green event. If they allow it?

I agree :-)

Great tip. Insightful detail. Thank you!

Whatever works for you. If one way doesn't work I just keep trying things until I get it.

Always glad to share my info.

Glad to hear it! Sorry for the delay. Comments still mean a lot;! Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.

Right here doing the same stuff without a camera. hehehe

Today's fuel is not the same as it was when the factory set it. When the factory set it everything was new. 50 years later your going to have to adjust the fuel screw and know matter what you do these engines are polluting the environment. I think everyone watching this video just wants there car to run and drive better.

Apparently, I was not clear with my remark (sorry for my poor English), I will try again. Yes of course, everyone now knows the fuel is bad quality (environment first), but the quality of the fuel does not vary overnight. Of course, if the seal of the screw has never been removed, it can not be used without removing the seal and redo a complete adjustment, due to the actual fuel. I say, after a complete overhaul and once all the carburetor's settings carried out and the engine runs well, after that, we should be able to use only the air bypass screw to adjust the engine idle as the carburetor has been designed like this. The purpose of the volume control screw is to adjust a part of mixture volume during first commissioning settings or after complete disassembly. Once done, this screw can be again sealed because it should be no longer used to adjust the engine idle. The engine idle should be adjusted only with the air bypass screw. Model 34 Pict-3 more complex than previous ones has been designed with the aim of simplifying engine idle adjustment, with this one only a screw to turn. Nothing more, nothing less :) Once again thank you for your videos that help many people, me the first.

_ Volume control screw = First line of mixture air/fuel (in the well and starting from the bottom, second hole a small one). _ Air bypass screw = increasing or decreasing of quantity of fresh air in second line of mixture (first hole the big one) First reset of 34 PICT-3 after disassembly / reassembly or if the plug has never been removed. _ Set both scews (If always in place, remove the plug) Readjustment of engine idle due to weather conditions, altitude, etc... _ Turn only air bypass screw EZGZ, maybe you can try like this to see if it's not more easy ;)

Your very welcome. I hope you have success with all your projects.

Glad you enjoyed it

Interesting....! The displacement is about the same so hopefully you can make it work.

That's true. I regret not speaking to that but in general the video seems to be helpful to many VW folks.

Thanks for checking in my friend

IN

One way to check is to take the air cleaner off and look down the carb with a flashlight at idle. Have some shut the engine off and restart it after a minute or so. When the engine is off there should be no fuel going down the carb unless you open the throttle and see the accelerator pump squirt. The truth of the matter is if the carb is old and dirty buy a carb rebuild kit and clean it. You can do this with basic tools. Most carb kits come with a new float needle valve and instructions.

They all do on the accelerator pump circlet

Glad I could help

Just need to check the choke mechanism and then let it fully warm up before tuning it. Then when you think you have it right take it on a test drive. You might want to make some changes...... just sayin

I switched to low pressure electric with a regulator and never looked back. # PSI Do it and be happy

Check the fuel inlet valve. It might not be closing. Check you fuel pressure to the carb. You may have to put the old fuel inlet valve back in ????? Gently tapp on the side of the carb??? Did you get the dog bone on top of the float in right? Maybe your float is bad? See if it will float or try a different one. Something ain't right in there.

A lean mixture will cause your engine to run hotter. Retarded timing will also cause heat. Not you Premium fuel will cause you heat. A stock engine in good tune should average 24 mpg with mixed driving.

@@TheEZGZ thx! I was also using premium hi-octane gas, that coild have been it. Thank you for responding, i appreciate it

Good Point Paul. Thanks for your contribution

I agree. They are great until something goes wrong and it just flips you a code and goes into limp mode. aggggghhhhhhh

Welcome to my world Steve. I appreciate the comment and support!

You're welcome I have similar issues on my Karmann Ghia, warm starting issues though and someone told me to change out the needle valve on my Bocar pict 34 which I did but my existing needle valve did not have a washer at all the new valve looked slightly different and came with a washer which I used but since then the carb has been flooding, I may go back to the old valve or use the new one without the washer, have also got what appears to be fuel contamination in the engine oil

@@stevehill8512 add the washer to lower the fuel level. Check your fuel pressure and add fiber gasket to lower the fuel pressure. If your in the USA and using ethanol fuel it seems to be thinner. We are switching to the winter blend here in Colorado and all my engines are running a bit ruffer. My plugs even have white deposits. Hard starting on a hot can fuel ponding and if bad enough will delute your oil. If it's bad enough you can smell it or light it on fire. (dipstick) If your engine used to use oil between changes and now it does not it's another sign to check fuel system. The fuel pump itself can possibly leak into the engine block while running. Ethanol grrrrrr

You should be fine using stock jets in a stock carb with stock engine. Todays Ethanol fuels are a bit thinner because of the alcohol so it's like automatical getting a bigger jet even though the engine will make less power and get less MPG. Why do you feel you need to change your jet size?

@@TheEZGZ I do have the Solex 34 pict-3, people up here that see me drive my dune buggy said I need to get it jetted and it sometimes smokes after startup and it didn't do that in 2000 altitude. Could be bad gas, I just don't want it to run rich and wash the oil off or lean and burn my pistons. What do you recommend? I greatly appteciate you!!

True...

At this point it's trial and error. After you shut it off remove the air cleaner and carefully look down the carb with a flashlight to see if you see fuel leaking down. Might want to open the throttle so you can look all the way down. Put a fuel pressure gauge on it to check your pressure, Don't guess. A fuel gauge is not cheap but if you want it right just do it for peace of mind. If any of your engine compartment seals are missing or leak air it could be heat soaking the fuel system. A tennis ball with a slot cut in it. Place under the engine hood latch to pick up cool air on hot days, kind of like a stand off deck lid but using the bottom of the decklid instead of top. That stopped my vapor locking problem with the new style fuel pumps.

Dot and groove and modify according to you needs and temps

make or buy a carb spacer carcraftstore.com/34pictsolexcarbspacer.aspx

Sounds great! Get a Manual and just go threw threw troubleshooting section. after 25 years it probably won't be perfect

A quick light tap on the side of the carb might loosen up inlet valve above the float. Might be getting old or the float might have a leak. The book has a nice overview of the insides as do the rebuild kits. Good Luck with that

@@TheEZGZ Thanks Ez I'll update you on the outcome.

So nice

Use a SVDA 205 style distributor and buy a thinner spark plug socket or grind down the one you have.

I read this post and had this problem when I was trying to do my plugs, I tried everything. Come to find out a small bolt had fallen down beside the plug and the socket wouldn't go down enough. The only way I figured it out was with my cellphone camera.
