Have you compression tested the cylinders yet?

Might be worth giving T3D a call.

Thanks Dave, Yeah smoke is a bit bluish / blackish, maybe running a bit rich? Clears when the she's warm though.

I have a bit of difficulty getting the square to start from cold, I've been told you shouldn't use the throttle at all but find I need to give it a bit of fuel to get her to fire. When she does fire it's smoky and runs unevenly till it's warm. Having never had twin carbs I don't want to play as all ...

Picked her up today, she's a 1968 Squareback Auto, with carbs.
Hopefully get some nice pictuires atken tomorrow.

Exactly what I've been thinking TBH, thought I'd check before I sold them as you could guarentee someone would tell me after that the 1641cc is just perfect on the type 3!

Are they worth fitting to a type 3, I've had some good one's sat in my garage for ages now that I had promised myself I was going to fit to the last 3 dubs! :roll: Swap meet coming up next Sunday, so what should I do? Does the type 3 1600 engine benefit from the boost in power, like a bug would, or ...

That's an awesome collection dude, you're a lucky man!
