Y'all must be gettin a hold of some junk ass carbs. I bought the webers Koko runs brand new, linkages and all for $450. Bolted them on the motor he runs (which I SOLD to him, not gave to him) and fired it up, soon as they got full of fuel it started and idled. Changed Vents and jets because I wanted to , for more low end response, not because they ran bad. They have given NO trouble whatsoever. The vents in his 44s are actually designed to be in 40's , so they slipped down a couple times until I had the chance to run the set screw a little deeper into the indent. That is my fault, not the fault of the carb manufacturer. He has to clean his jets occasionally, as most do with webers (Dellortos you do NOT usually unless there is a problem elsewhere). But pulling a jet occasionally is a small price to pay to have a motor that revs instantly when you need it to, doesnt take 2 or 3 seconds to rev down, has lots of torque AND lots of power upstairs for its weight, and looks and sounds beautiful. YES I said torque. I dont know why all the waterpumper guys make big claims of all the torque they make. I aint been in a waterpumper conventional buggy yet that felt like it would pull a sick whore out of bed compared to any correctly built VW bigger than a 2276.
I have been outran ONCE by a waterpumper on a conventional buggy on them pussy ass competition hills we had, but I aint seen one yet that will even start up a real hill. Somebody build a conventional waterpumper that leaps as soon as you touch the gas, will climb a REAL hill, stop in the middle without trying to flip back, and take off again to ride a wheelie out the top of that hill ........... then yall can start talking shit. Until then, better make sure you dont try to follow any bad ass VWs off of the main trails, or you will be on you lid with that boat anchor trying to smash your melon.
Nitro, wth do you know about carbs anyways?? How can you be so certain they're so troublesome when you aint never had a real performance VW, much less a set of dual carbs??? Is there something wrong with having enough knowledge of your engine components that you can fix them without the assistance of a computer ? Webers and Dellortos are marvels of highly functioning simplicity, just like an AC motor is.
Any yahoo can do some junkyarding a buy a harness and adapter and say they built a buggy. Those are the same type people who BUY a hotrod and claim to have built it themself to everybody they talk to at the rod runs.
Waterpumpers are ugly. They look out of place on the back of a sporty buggy. They sound gay on a buggy (except a v8 or a turbo on a CD). They are heavy. (If you think 80 lbs dont matter on the ass end of a conventional, you know nothing about hillclimbing, 8 lbs matters). They wont climb unless you run chains. Most of them wont turn enough rpms unless you modify them. (There goes the "they are cheaper " theory) Their exhaust smells like traffic jams. They are sluggish, factory fuel injection is about as responsive as a county employee on overtime. If it breaks in the woods, you are headed to the trailer and going home usually. They are hard to tune the suspension under to climb. They are harder on chassis and driveline components (right Nitro?). They just suck. They are good for trailriders and family hauler buggies only. Therefore my wife might get one, but I wont until one smacks me around doing what I love to do.
