Father / son project

I hate it when that happens! Hopefully, all that's straightened out now. It would be bad if your dentist got you the carb and the parts house sent you the teeth!

So, is this in preparation for when you can finally dig yourself out of the snow!

Got a few goodies this week!
New Weber 32/36 DGV, air filter, pressure regulator, & windshield. (Pilkington Classics)
Also got ahold of Richard at Banks Engineering & have 2 beautiful new radius arms on the way!
Everything I've heard about him is true, GREAT GUY! (and it's fun calling England! )

   ooo, shiny bits !!!!  But hey man, what is it with this spotlessly clean workbench ?  You could eat your dinner of that, you must be a real neat worker and ultra organised. 

( I'm lucky if I can find a workbench surface on mine with all the clutter     )

Yes, Richard is a good guy to deal with and the best way is to talk direct even if it is more trouble for you folks over the pond.  My missus bought me one of his center consoles for my birthday last year and when she opened it she found he'd thrown in a T shirt & keyring as an extra present !

He is using the kitchen to rebuild his car.

I tried that. Don't wives get quite possessive about their workspace.

It is not as if I didn't drain the oil out first.

That workshop is to clean. You either do nothing in it but clean or you need psychiatric help! 

Ditto comments about Richard and yes, you will receive two BEAUTIFUL new radius arms. Every thing he does is beautiful.

It's fun to get toys!

OK guys, this should make you happy, my workbench has a torn apart carb, & tools all over it!
(although organized)
And yes, I do eat off it! 
Found some clearance issues when test fitting the new carb, (choke mechanism hits valve cover) looks like I can solve this by turning the carb 180 degrees and fabricating a new linkage setup.
It appears to be the correct orientation for the larger secondary on the oblong manifold also.

New Weber 32/36 DGV, air filter, pressure regulator

fondling new parts is fun.
did the weber come "pre-jetted"?
this is the route i'm going, and am looking for some jetting suggestions......
i could fill that shop up and end up working outside again.

This is my experience with a Weber replacement. I bought a 32/36 DFEV (electric choke) from a VW performance shop pre-jetted. Right out of the box, the S2 ran beautifully with no major jetting issues. The only change was to screw in the idle mixture screw to correct the super rich idle per Redlines idle adjustment setup instructions. I only have several hundred miles on the S2 but so far no complaints on engine performance.

This is the jetting info I have written down. This works for me, may not work for your engine.

Primary main: 137
Secondary main: 140

Primary idle: 50
Secondary idle: 50

Primary air corrector: 165
Secondary air corrector: 160

Primary emulsion tube: F66
Secondary emulsion tube: F50

Chokes are both 3.5

Good info from Grumblebuns! I talked to one of the technicians before I purchased it & he said the 32/36 comes prejetted for a 1600 cc engine category, so good to go...

It should be close, but I might not expect it to be exact. IIRC, that carb was used on the old 1600cc Pinto engines and given what your tech said, I might expect that's the jetting you have. You might want to make a note of the jets you do have so that if you have issues, you can try his setup.

Yep, exactly what the tech said, any issues/questions just call and let them know, I left a message & they called me back within the hour, very helpful...

[rascott]

it's good to have a baseline.
thank you grumblebuns(must be on the s2 you offered a ride in?).
blasterdad- again, kudos on that shop! and a great father/son project!

Got my shiny new radius arms today from across the pond!
Richard shipped them yesterday, & they were at my door at 11:30 today!
Shipping was less from England than my windshield was from Ohio.   
Even shipped us a t-shirt! 
Once again, Richard is the man, couldn't be happier...

[BDA]

I told you they'd be beautiful!

Cool t shirt! Maybe I should think of something I need from him so I can get one!

Been daydreaming about those radius arms for a long time, & when I finally get them, I think I'm more tickled about the t-shirt, . (I noticed I took 2 pictures of it) 
Oh well, good to know my inner child is still around.
