I left off who he is... http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=64882 I should also add that a Pierburg that a friend got lost the accelerator pump brass injector thingy and it ended up bouncing around in her engine making crap loads of noise and she thought she blew the motor, took it apart, etc. -----Original Message----- From: wuzmop@xxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 6:55 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: new carb My last 3 brand new brosal carbs have been leaky pieces of crap. At first I thought it might be gas additives, so I switched around gas brands, no dice. After replacing the base gasket every two weeks, I finally realized it was in the shaft. One is a 34 two were 31's. I got a german rebuilt one on the samba from a guy who re bushes the shafts and stuff. I haven't run it yet, but he is supposed to do good work. A brosal might be ok for an occasional driver, but I'll never again put one on a daily or high mileage car. -----Original Message----- From: evilscientistboo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 5:29 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: new carb Either a 30 pict or a 30/31 pict. With the smaller 1500 sp manifold. The larger sp manifold or a dual port will use a 34 pict 3 A euro 1300 dp will be a 30/31 pict. As far as options there's also the Weber replacement carb that is a direct replacement. You can also use an adapter to go from 30/31 to 34 and vice versa.

However, all of the replacement carbs that I have seen in the past few years are the Bocar/Bosal or something like that which are supposedly the Brazilian copy of the Solex and it's probably just going to be a generic equivalent of the 30 PICT 1. ----- Original Message ---- From: ATX BUS <atx_bus@xxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 9:39:44 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: new carb Thanks for the suggestions, I have talked to Kenny before. I called him once and he had what I was looking for I just ended up not actually needing it. I need to stop by and have a chat with him. Will there be any options on this kind of carb?
