FYI Links in the description for tools and parts used in the video👍

[@joshuuaaaa440]

Just rebuilt mine using this video ! So helpful hopefully it fixes the issues I have been having

[@hevog]

Respect, I never dared to tear apart my beetle carbs, great job. On the other hand, we didn't have smartphones to document the disassembly 🙂, had no ultrasonic cleaner, or pressurized air at hand.

Nice video. Another one of my favorites VW beetle.

I have to rebuild my carb, so thanks. This was helpful

[@josefprem4535]

Nicely done.

[@Fischkopp]

Nice. Thank you 🧑‍🔧

[@erminb3105]

I believe you got the dull look on the carb body because Simple Green attacks aluminum. Pinesol does not. However, Pinsol will take off the zync plating from parts that are coated with it. From what I understand either Pinesol or Aircraft Simple Green is the thing to use on aluminum parts.

[@erminb3105]

Great video either way!

[@grosbeakmc]

Nice video!

[@vayabroder729]

Carb looks to be in good shape. Did you forget to get the main jet out? Saw another head on the bench; what did you do finally?

[@Jerod_Helt]

Bought a rebuild head👍

[@jacoblundgren69]

14:00 did you unscrew it 3 1/8 turns? Isnt that the wrong way?

[@bubot17]

good helpful video

[@67herby89]

Great video, very detailed. But I will say that I won’t dare to try it, too many little parts. Do you take orders in for a solex pict 30-1 rebuild?

[@Jerod_Helt]

Sorry I only work on my own cars

[@tomasalvarez6040]

Is there any o rings at the idle needle, or the mixture needle?

[@Jerod_Helt]

No

[@FunFun-tv7gq]

Hey, a very helpful video, doing mine soon. What is the ultrasonic washer capacity ? It seems to fit everything. Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@Jerod_Helt]

Here’s a link to the ultrasonic cleaner I use amzn.to/2GsZ85W

[@jonbenfield6819]

Hi, what's the screw you removed at 1:50? Thanks

[@Jerod_Helt]

I believe it’s called an emulsion tube

[@e_shoemaker]

What about the throttle shaft bushing?.....

[@Jerod_Helt]

I didn’t replace them

[@e_shoemaker]

@@Jerod_Helt Yeah; it’s always good to drill them out and replace.

[@vinm8297]

Why did you count the turns, I’m curious

[@Jerod_Helt]

Just to have a good starting point for tuning the carb

[@frankfadeley3768]

need help with accelerator cable 74 beetle

[@Jerod_Helt]

Sorry, I don't have a video for that

[@joesixpack7551]

...how can you resist not getting the FJ to move under its own power? ...or at least put it in gear on jack stands to see if the trans/transfer case are okay

[@Jerod_Helt]

It's easier to get excited about projects when the end is in site. The FJ is such a big project and the end is so far off. I will definitely get more excited and pick up speed towards the end of the project. Also I really don't like doing body work and that's the next big step on the FJ. Once I put the trans in I will have no more excuses to put off the body work👍

[@ronpackwood8772]
