Re: Flat spot at 2500rpm
Too much fuel injection experience for me with these venturi thingys........ I have only had a carb fuelled daily driver for 4 weeks, before going back to FI again. Picking it up a bit of experience on these T25's though
Mind you as a mk2 1600 Scirocco I believe that had a Pierburg too

Yes the pierburg was at the zenith of carburettor technology in the 80's for low emissions.itchyfeet wrote:937carrera wrote: just trying to figure out why VW went for that setup rather than the simpler mechanical linkage / cam type approach
They didn't becuse VW never made carbs Pierburg did
Carbs like any technology just got more and more complicated probably for minor performance, economy, reliability and emissions reasons that are long forgotten.
If emissions were not the issue VW would have fitted twin Delorto DRLA imo. (and unleashed the horses)

Re: Flat spot at 2500rpm
Are you sure Zenith weren't the zenith of carburettors

VW were mad on Solex's until the early '80's, including the CU engined T25's

Re: Flat spot at 2500rpm
I remember James making those videos long after many of us were tinkering with 2e3s, I'm not taking away from them because they are good but have not come from many years of experience!

Re: Flat spot at 2500rpm
Just a though Kev, are you on LPG?
When I had a flat spot it wasn't really there with LPG more with petrol but I have a closed lop which gives it plenty of LPG
LPG setup could cause this as it goes lean.

I've fitted a better vacuum unit that operates like your video.
Ive also fitted a refurb kit and gave it a deep clean.
I'll have a definitive answer later.
