4:40 I don't think this guy knows how scissors work...
Thats some weird scissor action
lol Ithought That
The 31 PICT is a replacement Brosol (Made in Brazil for solex) unit, so it's been replaced once already. the adapter is because the 30/31 carbs went on single port intakes and your engine originally had a 34 PICT-3. Keep that 31 on hand, you may want to rebuild it one day.
@jason9022 lol I've messed with a lot of stuff
Pretty sure the idle is to be set by the air bypass screw and the mixture screw on the side. The cam screw only works with the choke setting. Older carbs idle were set by that screw on the cam thuss a lot of folks get it wrong. I'd just rotary file for clearance to get the choke set dead cold. before running. Remember this order in adjustments on an air cooled. valves, timing, then carb and then back to timing then carb to get ti right. Love the videos. Keep it up
You are correct about the idke set
...did you just open the box with the handle of the scissors?
Yup he sure did
Really surprised he didn't cut himself
😂
I bought two of these Chinese carbs installed them both been using them for over a year not any issues both work great
Wish I was having your luck.
I just bought one, had a brosol, empi and they both sucked. Can't spend a fortune on Solex or Weber. So I'll try my luck with the max
Chinese quality has improved amazingly fast over the last 10 years, before that no one would be running Scat forged cranks in 1000 hp engines, now it's common.
If you ever have issues getting it to run right, they don't clean the metal shavings from machining these carbs out very well. Hot tank it and it will run better than you could ever get a solex to run. My dad has had one of these on one of his cars for 8 years no problems.
what a great video, i really needed a good chuckle -
Nice job! Gotta love the bug!!
for a guy who can put a turbo ls, in a motor home. it was quite funny watching him struggle opening a box with a pair of scissors. i have had good luck with chinese carbs for snowblowers and tao-tao 110 cc quads. i don’t mind doing a little work for saving a lot of money.
Was thinking the same.
Good morning. I was looking on RUclips for a Chinese carb for the 1600 engine I'm building. I came across your video and seen the whole thing. Once you gave it the OK I'd decided to get one off of EBay. It came the on 18th of this month. It looks just like a Solex carb. I guess you can say the Chinese are improving their copying tactics. By the way...I was crying when you said "cloth covered Hitler's revenge fuel line. I was on the floor. Your friend Eric from Southern Cali.
That engine originally came with a PICT 34 carb. PICT 31 were used on earlier cars with smaller engines and a single intake/exhaust port.
also if you dont already know make sure and throw that breastplate on that motor it is a heatshield for the muffler and those heater hoses gotta be on otherwise all the cooling air goes out the shroud ,but anyways love dem videos!!
i have bought the same, didnt use it now intended as resrve,thx for shareing
open up the idle jet it REALLY makes more tuneable it ends up being about a .60 Idle jet it helps with an off ldle bog just use a jet reamer if you dont want to buy one
on the pict. 3, the throttle plate screw screws in until it just touches. its purpose is to not let the throttle plate wear into the casting. it's not any kind of adjustment for idle speed or choke.
That's how I have it set. Without clearancing that screw to the carburetor housing the throttle blade wouldn't close. The screw was about a 1/6 away from that cam.
The bug engines have fuel stand off at moderate rpm's, and the stock air filter base is designed to be tall enough to keep the suspended fuel from falling around and on the filter area. Extend the filter up 2 inches.
No single carb. can be tuned if the crossover tube is partially or fully clogged and one end bolts to a higher pressure area than the other side so it will cross-flow a decent amount of heated gasses to significantly warm the base of the intake.
The stock system also used manifold at low rpm to keep enough heated air going thru the carb. so it will stay warm enough to keep the fuel from being exposed to a cold carb. base plate and manifold where it will condense and cling to the inside walls of the intake manifolds. Carbs mounted over the heads absorb enough heat from the cylinder heads so that they don't condense. All this had to be done to get good drivability...even in warm weather.
Your new pict. 3 needs it's idle to be adjusted with the butterfly fully closed. the screw on the idle arm is for doing just that. It is not an idle speed adjustment....thats the two screws on the left side. The pict 3 was meant to run with vacuum distributor. the aftermarket has some that work well.
Digging the deboss garage shirt. Love seeing RUclipsrs supporting RUclipsrs
Edit:MAXpeeding rods strikes again 😂
RUclips-Certified 'mechanics'...
what’s going on with those scissors
It's me or there is a bearing noise at idle ?
Cooling fan ?
If you aren't going to hook up the heater hoses, block off the attachment holes or it will overheat. I used old spray can lids, works good. I would put a 2 barrel carburetor on that duel port.
All told, pretty impressive for $60.
Got one of these in 37 pict 3 from CIP1. BBT label. Idles great, drives at low speeds well, dies on acceleration. Iv looked everywhere for vaccum leaks cannot find any. Cant tell if its starving for fuel , ive opened bowl after and about 1/3 full. Or flooding never had spark plug wrench on short test drives. Had electric pump then went to pierburg, any ideas?
Over the last five years, I bought three different Chinese carbs, one for a snowblower, a generator, and a lawn mower, so far so good, the new carb for my snowblower cost about $15, it was less than the rebuild kid, I don't know how they do it.
FYI, If enough gas makes it into the cylinder it can hydrolock when you try to start it.
Good luck with the bug.
>> cost about $15, it was less than the rebuild kid, I don't know how they do it.
The empi did that to me. Trash
Look at you with the deboss shirt. I had good and bad results with those cheep solex clones. As a matter of fact I have one new in a box I would have hand delivered to you.
That one that came off is an earlier style carb.
Edit: also, grabs scissors, uses blunt handle over sharp edge. Awesome. 😁
If my beetle has 30 pict-2 carburetor. Can I replace to (30 pict-1) or (34 pict-3) ??
nice setup for a bomb. fuel filter next to coil.
can you put a carb and eliminate fuel injection.?
Fuel remaining in inlet will cause flooding upon start up. Liquid fuel doesn't ignite. Vapour does ;)
That adapter looks like an offset to allow room for your alternator. Well from the video looks like you have an alternator as opposed to a generator. I was looking at that carburetor today. I am gloat a l came across your channel. Let de how it works?😊
Extra vacuum lines could have been for the weird vacuum clutch automatic they had
jsnyder95 They had a vacuum.modulator for the auto transmission on type 3 and it used to fail periodically due to rubber in diaphragm being affected by oil vapour from oil bath air cleaner
it couldn't be cruise control, those germans
Distributor has a vacuum retarder stock and the stock air cleaner had a flap driver.
Need to Subi swap the bug one day if you keep it! I could totally see the swap being done on the channel lol
He doesn't like fuel injection. I've seen turbo setups on the vw motors pushing around 350hp. Of course half of that is increasing the displacement from 1600cc (1.6L) to anything near 2332cc (~2.3L).
That adapter on the manifold is there so the carb does nor rub against the alternator.
Carbs... gah do not miss working with them.
If the throttle plate is not fully closed, the idle ports wont tune properly when the throttle plate begins to open, exposing them to vacuum.
Cloth covered hitler’s revenge fuel line 😂 thats a good way to put it
Nice video! Whats the rabbit up to?
Looks like a pretty nice carb!!
Hey, thank God for China! There pricing keeps all the American companies in check price wise. Especially now due to all the price increases we are stuffing today.
the god damn scissors...lmao
Nice video, but the ✂️?
We want a Winnebago update PLZ!
Add the shim washer on float valve. Get a 34 pict 3
a 10 micron fuel filter.. (not all fuel filters are 10 micron.. most are around 70 micron) the one you have installed is probably 70micron. magnets on the bottom of the fuel tank unless you want to roll them in thru a piece of heater hose. or pulling the sending unit. on domestic cars and trucks i use a 1990 ford ranger fuel filter for 1/4 and 5/16 line applications but that is huge diameter filter. your fuel pump is filled with Sediment that you will continue to push into the carb needle and seat.. once you get a 10 micron fuel filter installed... fire up the engine to fill the carb.. but not warm up the engine.. disconnect the line at the carb.. extend the line into a clean clear soda bottle.. at least one liter size.. get somebody to start the engine and allow the engine to pump fuel into the bottle hopefully not dripping onto the distributor.. do this OUTSIDE YOUR GARAGE.. the full flow pulsing of filtered fuel will flush most if not all of the sediment out.. on domestic cars i crank the engine with the coil power unplugged so no spark can be created.. cranking for a timed 15 seconds.. and doing that 3 times in a row..
Sediment in the fuel .. holds the carb needle and seat open.. allowing the carb to overflow.. i would love to see you get a filter before the fuel pump.. then do the 15 second full flow cranking flush.. to get all the sediment out of the pump cavity.
under the car. drivers side.. if you replaced the fuel line above the left exhaust where it goes thru the cool tin.. did you replace the grommet where the fuel line passes thru the cool tin.. so its not cut thru.. split some fuel hose.. slip it thru the opening and around the fuel line and clamp it in place.
the adapter under the carb was previously an EGR valve.. its a 74..
Turbo?
Me and my father are looking for a bug.. the older ones without that weird auto-stick....Hard 2 find in Pa. Rust
East coast is rough for vw hunting. It pays for itself to buy a clean one in California and get it shipped over. Check the samba classifieds.
My dad has an auto stick he wants 4 grand for but its a little fucky. No rust though
I purchased the same one.
My bug runs when the choke is on.
However, once I hit the gas after it has warmed up and off the step the bug will die. No matter what adjustments I do to the volume screw or the bypass adjust, nothing happens.
try this to help your idle, The screw on the left side of the carb, that is used for the choke step linkage, needs to be adjusted in when it is fully warmed up on the last step . ( choke fully open ). This will open up the throttle plate . If you take the carb off the car you can see this action when you adjust this screw. You want about .004 of an inch open throttle. This will cause a vacuum to pull fuel out the small ports just above the throttle plate. Then you can now adjust the bypass screw ( the big screw Lt side ) and the idle mixture screw ( smaller screw Lt side ). I hope this helps . Enjoy Cyprianskiba8768
perfect placement of the fuel filter fire can right above distributor.
Put an aisin 500 supercharger $200-300 on ebay. Not too hard to install. Seen them on many bugs look it up.
4:40 cringing so hard here, never seen anyone use scissors like that before!
Top speed?
cool
Check the float on these things. The float in some of these can fill up with fuel. Theres a defect in the seam on the float. Also rejet the main jet i just used a really small drill bit to enlarge the jet so far so good but i recommend doing your research & using exact size jets. If your using a 009. Once i did that the fuel didn't boil in the carb any more.
use the spring attachment from the old carb
@Fuel Injection Sucks - Are you happy with this carburetor after 7 months or so of using it in your bug?
Not really. Every time you came to a stop it either idled rich or lean. I think the float would stick. I sold the car anyway.
When I come to a stop mine would die. I purchased this exact carburetor
sounds like you may have generator bearing issues. They sound noisy.
VW never installed the fuel filter in engine bay.
wow do I hear bearing noise!!!
Did he say the old carburetor was almost like fuel injection? I thought fuel injection sucks?!
hello: I got a question for all you vw guys. I got a 34 pict-3 that I am going to install in my 2.5 s10.got the new carb and noticed that it only has an inlet port. my s10 has a return line is a fuel injected tbi conversion to carburetor. can I used a pressure regulator with a return line to solve the problem or what else can be done. thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use a carbureted pressure regulator with a return to bump the pressure down to 3-4psi. But why in the world are you putting this carb on an s10?
@@FuelInjectionSucks because my computer and throttle body die on me.
which pressure regulator do you used and which fuel line.
So you thought you were wrong, but you were mistaken :p 22:40
I've seen Maxpeeding Rods on another youtube channel, I just can't remember which. Maybe mighty car mods? I dunno, I watch a lot of different youtubers. At least Volkswagen didn't run the fuel line between the damn radiator and heater hoses like on the Chrysler LA 318's, stupid, veeeery stupid... Hot fuel anyone?
Flip the lid!
Holy crap man lmao you are wrong about everything you are touching and saying.
Put the tools down and call someone that knows what they are doing .
I love you called the fuel shut off solenoid the fast idle 😅 . Then using the choke for idle control.
Now just need to learn about the bypass and idle circuit so you can get the AFR correct so when you go for that ride you don't burn it down from being set sooo lean from the factory.
A little hint adjust the nob/ jet things about 2 turn out before you start 😉.
That screw shouldn’t touch! And it’s not to set the idle speed.
Why replace the carb? Just fix it. Bad inlet needle or float is an easy fix. The stock style single barrel carbs will run much better with the stock air cleaner. With the proper preheat pipe and engine breather. Engine will last better with a proper breather hook up too. They also run better with stock distributor instead of a Bosch OO9
These air cleaners are wrong for your application.
he needs instruction manual on scissor operational use.
"its fuel injected and it's amazing" hmmmmmm
Gas leaks are the #1 cause of engine fires in VW. You really dodged the bullet. If it was leaking enough fuel to feel the intake manifold, Yikes!! You were one spark or hot exhaust manifold away from getting to see what a VW magnesium engine case looks like when it is on 🔥.
nothing good be finer than buying junk from chiner.
german pseudo quality chicom
Clueless !
