How To: Sync Dual Weber Carbs - 1956 Ragtop - Volkswagen BUG | JW Classic VW

[@bjornbremer6123]

Hi from Germany, each time you set idle speed on one carb you will automatically change the other side! Both carbs are connected via the linkage. That is why you always have to disconnect one side from that linkage. There are some vids on yt on this matter yet, check fisher buggies or jbugs i.e. Great car and engine, sounds awesome 👍

[@JWClassicVW]

Hey whats going on brother!! Yes this video is a little older, in some later vids I go through the process and also include the linkage specifics... Good looking out though and I appreciate the support!!!!

[@davidgrason161]

Dude! That ethereal, cosmic sort of synthesizer sound that came in at 19:18 is really similar to the alarm sound on my phone. When I heard it, I ran off looking for my phone only to find that it wasn't time for any alarm to go off. You had me pretty confused there. LOL I bet you didn't even intend to prank your viewers. ROTFLOL😅

[@JWClassicVW]

Lol... yeah I don't use as much music anymore in my videos.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Great video man, glad you keep putting out great videos. Thanks for the shoutout brother, it’s all about supporting the community. If I’m able to help 1 person it’s all worth it.

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanx Gary!! love making the videos... I think most of the time I end up learning more each time I do one of these. Part of me wants the engine to run just perfect, but when I have one of those Gremlins pop up its just good info to share. :)

[@joshcloutier5184]

Thanks for this. I just got a 2054 with dual Weber redline 40 idfs and it's my first engine with dual carbs.

[@JWClassicVW]

No problem man... more to come soon... great thing about VWs is there is always something to work on!! 😎😎

[@joshcloutier5184]

Ain't that the truth!🤣

[@imperial_corner]

Great video! How do you determine the 30 number?

[@JWClassicVW]

It was through trial and error as each engine will need a little tuning to dial in what's best for your setup. I've seen a number of different rpm to timing configurations. 30/3000 is a good place to start.

[@imperial_corner]

@@JWClassicVW thanks!

[@erwinjansen2885]

Enjoyed your video. My oval beetles are from 1956 (6 volt engine) and 1957 (12 volt / Weber’s engine). I have a lot of fun working on them.

[@JWClassicVW]

Thats awesome, love those early VWs!

[@busman5429]

Liked the process all good info thanks for sharing Jason.

[@JWClassicVW]

Thank you Dan!!

[@mileageunknown8910]

Awesome vid, great tips pretty much everything I need 2 do 2 Pops 56’ thanks for sharing!

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanks brother!! Glad you liked the video!

[@mileageunknown8910]

JW Classic VW I just watched vwjawbreakers vid as well I think I’ve got a pretty good understanding on what I need 2 do on pops car the only question I have is I thought the idle mixture screws would come into play in syncing the carbs? How do you know you’re set properly with those? Thanks again!

[@jdmeaux]

Good job, Jason. You made it look so easy. Moe

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanks Moe... its always easier on video... lol getting everything running perfectly is a constant job. I've just done it so many times now...😉😉

[@jdmeaux]

@@JWClassicVW Wait until you start searching for vacuum leaks. Hahaha!

[@clintonwilloughby7606]

Did you adjust your linkage after syncing the carbs? It could be your problem. After adjusting the idle position of the throttle plates you need to reset the linkage so that the plates open at the same time. Good luck and thanks for making the videos. Have a great day!

[@JWClassicVW]

Great catch... I'll check that this morning. Disconnect my linkage, check sync again then adjust my linkage. Thank you Clinton!!

[@clintonwilloughby7606]

@@JWClassicVW Welcome!

[@joshcloutier5184]

Did this end up being the issue?

[@JWClassicVW]

@@joshcloutier5184 no sir it what the float height... it was off on both carbs. After adjusting them she pulls all the way to 80mph... sweet Thanks for your help though the linkage was off a little on the 1/2 side.

[@JCSME2008]

Great video 👍 watched it 4 times. You videos are very informative. Question: do you have one on how to adjust fuel/air mixture screw ?

[@JWClassicVW]

You got it man check out this video below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpKVaIGdpdabgKM Also check this link to my Face Book group where some docs are on the process: facebook.com/download/529269288016205/Jason%27s%20Weber%20IDF%20Tuning.pdf?av=1495890482&eav=AfaQM3TMqWpsnzAqUrle1JcIH17StuvA-2XHRDf4A1UuoWVRlPygXVyYaky8aan6ITo&hash=AcrO8twd4kcf8GdV

[@vicferrarisgarage]

11:56 lean pop. Better check your float! It is not lean popping constantly so it’s not a clogged idle jet. So I would be checking needle & seat or float level! :-)

[@JWClassicVW]

Hey Vic thanks for the comment!! That's one of my older videos... I'll have to go back and watch it myself... lol did so many things to finally get my baby tuned right but for the popping I got that sorted out with an idle jet change from 55 to 60.

[@vicferrarisgarage]

Lol I just got back to your video to watch the other half and at the end you said it was a float problem. I should watch them in full then comment. Glad it’s running good now. Sounds nice 👍

[@JWClassicVW]

@@vicferrarisgarage lol... good stuff brother!!

[@squealguitar]

Once had my fuel filter fail and it clogged the needle valve. May be something to check out.

[@JWClassicVW]

Ended up being a float adjustment... thank you for your comment though Nick!!

[@erwinjansen2885]

I saw you put it at 7 bar with snail. I have it at 4.5 till 5 bar. Do you consider it is to low! In idle it runs stable but at acceleration doesn’t accelerate nicely! Weber’s just been cleaned.

[@JWClassicVW]

This really has a lot to do with your tune on your engine. They are all different... plus I have the IDF update kit from CB Performance.

[@cesarjimenez4724]

What was the out come to the losing power?

[@JWClassicVW]

Man, I'm going to have to go back and watch that video... it was awhile back. Pretty sure this was solved by running a new fuel line. The old stock line just couldn't keep up with the needs.

[@cesarjimenez4724]

A fuel line or fuel filter? In your video, it looked like you lost fuel pressure. I am video #4. Cool videos. Questions? What's the name of the exterior paint? Also, do you have before & after pictures of your 56 Ragtop?

[@JWClassicVW]

The color is Polar Silver... I do have some photos.. before and after. Maybe I'll share some in the next live feed.

[@Spiderjolly]

Hi what you got added to the fuel pump stand. and whats it connected to ? thanks for sharing awesome setup

[@JWClassicVW]

Hey Sean!! Thanks for the question brother, that is the 1st configuration of the venting the block. Very important with a high CC block like this 2276 to get the crankcase pressure out through the breather system. Now, my venting may be a bit of overkill but I love it!! lol Check out the final set up here with all the AN fitting set up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6O0p5Rjd551sNk If your interested in any of this AN stuff I have it linked in the Video Description.

[@toddavies1326]

Not overkill at all - I’m glad some people take crankcase ventilation as serious as I do

[@harryloibl5183]

Jason are you able to assist with what duel twin carbs that you would suggest to purchase for this 1600 bug I’m going to over haul the engine soon perhaps to 1776 thanks buddy

[@JWClassicVW]

Weber 40's jetted properly would be ok and give you an upgrade path. But a better choice may be a set of 34mm. www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C13%2D47%2D7411

[@Danoie67]

Stock Trans? Appreciate your videos.

[@JWClassicVW]

Definitely not stock, Rancho built freeway flyer with welded 3rd and 4th Gear hubs along with upgraded aluminum side cover on the driver's side.

[@Chris530-65]

Hey Jason after you installed the IDF update kit how much did your jetting change?

[@JWClassicVW]

The idf update kit comes with new jetting for air and mains. I believe I used what was provided but that was awhile ago.

[@bigdaddymex2003]

You didn’t adjust the mixture screws ?

[@JWClassicVW]

I'm going to have to rewatch that video.... it's been forever.

[@tospicy4ya]

Are you supposed to disconnect one carburettor from linkage

[@JWClassicVW]

Yes... or both. I Ended up removing the linkage from both.

Hey Jason wassup, hey I wanted to asks you when biulding your engine what torque wrench do you use and trust?

[@JWClassicVW]

George honestly I picked up one from Harbor Freight and it worked fine... I would say if you have the money maybe pick up a used one from Matco or Snapon. But like I said the Harbor Frieght one worked just lock tight the little screws in the head.

I love that 1936 car I bet it goes 100 mph cars that were made for military and police later retired sold to civilians were built to go fast but civilian ones only went eighty to 85 miles per hour like the Volkswagen of the late forties fifties sixties and beyond we should replicate these old beauties and in universities garages etc a come back some are doing it like now they are replicating old guitars from fifties sixties etc we should these bugs but like police cars suvs ones that look like bigger versions of originals and bus suvs the size of delivery trucks or school buses sounds like good idea
