Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??
Yeah thats the crankcase breather. A good rule of thumb, if VW thought it was worth fitting one. its important. As your engine gets hot, the gas an oil inside the crankcase expands, this causes high pressure and will force oil to leak out. That hose connected to the airfilter, the cars are sucking, ...

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??
Thats great news! So happy we can help!
You are correct regarding the mixture change.
If you want to get adventurous, there is a further improvement you may need. Where are you now venting the crank case too?

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??
Glad to hear the running has improved, When you say you found out you cannot move the distributor, what do you mean? Yours is stuck? Because you can advance and retard it. It it sounds rather like your timing does need adjustment. Coil wise, you should have a green wire on the negative to the conden...

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??
Luckily all the parts only fit one way round, the Emuulsion tubes become obvious once you see them.

Re: How can I improve my engine performance?
We would need to know a little more about it first. What heads, what crank throw, what bore, what carbs, what cam, what flywheel? A few basics. Find a rolling road and simply have the fundamentals checked and a power read out, then, if there are any issues they might be able to rejet, adjust carbs a...

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??
You're pretty close. But you change your current emultion tube with thr f6 tube, and the current air corrector jet with the 170. Sounds like you've got the right idea though. And yeah, it's not particularly hard to do, just a bit fiddly. Let's hope that company can help you out. We have a photo post...

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??
It's inside the carburettor. All of those parts are. I will find you a diagram later. I buy my parts from euro carb. But that probably isn't much use to you on the other side ise of the world.
The tube you describe is the balance pipe, for future reference

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??
Its a real easy fix, take all the jets and emultion tubes out and throw them in the bin. They are desgined for a beford CF van. Replace them with the following. It isnt the "right" answer. But it gets you somewhere close. You may need slighly bigger or small jets from these sizes. Depending on many ...

Re: Anyone know the whereabouts of KPA 227K Variant?
It looks like it was last taxted in 2002, then changed owners in 2003 Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 18 February 2003
Ive done a bit of googling, I assume you have too, found people talking about it on a film forum.
The reg rings a bell to me, but I cant think why.
