single weber downdraft carb.help!!

[19682002sa]

i have a 1968 02. i have dual weber sidedrafts and the one has siezed. i am now having to put on a single weber downdraft to help with the fuel consumption and give it a smoother ride since i found it really hard to tune and synchronise the dual sidedrafts. wil this hamper the performance a lot?

thanks:)

You'll miss them a bit, but then, months later when you

realize you haven't thought about your carb in months, you'll

be able to grin just a little.

Me, I'd fix the dcoe. They're so easy to work on...

I had a sinlge weber 34 ?? on my old 1600 and while it was smooth at the low end I could not get top end performance out of it. The stock

Solex 1 barrel was much better suited for the 1.6L. I would think that the same would be true for a 2.0L.

Landon is correct. That small weber is for 1200/1300 vw's.

They barely worked on 1600-2's and would be even worse on

a 2002. Stick with the 40 solex if possible to source and install.

rebuild the weber sidedraft. you will miss them a lot if you take them off. good luck.
