If you need an almost new carb I have one for sale with air cleaner $90 it's yours (hers). The carb was on the car for about 1 month. Comes with braided hose. :) Sent from my iPhone On Dec 21, 2012, at 1:19 PM, bill may vwb...@san.rr.com wrote: 009 does not play well with a 34 pict-3 carb.

I would very much like to see the article with the 34PICT-3 setup. I've fought them before, and they have worked pretty well, but I've never seen anything definitive on how they should be set up! I've not used google groups much. Do they have a 'files' section where you could post it?

I have a 1200 single port that was doing the same thing. Try spraying carburetor cleaner on the choke and linkage, then readjust the air mixture screw in until the rpms max out, then back it off half a turn. Did the trick and he's running like a champ! Good luck and Merry Christmas! Bob

Check the idle solenoid on the carb it should click when the key is turned to the run position id not that is your starting and idle problem Also if u can get an original dist with vacuum advance the engine will run great through all rpm ranges. 009 in my opinion are bad news especially when

009 does not play well with a 34 pict-3 carb. You need a 034 distributor that is single vacuum and mechanical commonly called a SVDA for single vacuum dual advance. -Original Message- From: vintagvw@googlegroups.com [mailto:vintagvw@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kirin Jacobsen Sent:

That is the classic 009 dizzy/34pict stall and bog off idle syndrome. Get a vacuum advance dizzy, and all the troubles will be gone. Do a search for this and you'll see it's a real problem. Go to aircooled.net and there is a good article on it. I have the proper setup specs to tune the 34pict

Kirin, Absolutely agree with Bill, 009's are crap for stockish engines...mostly for lots of others as well. It doesn't matter if the carb is stock or modified...better performance and better gas mileage with an svda in 99% of the stuff I have ever worked with(40 + years)...as long as you

You guys seem quick to fault the 009 dizzy for all of these bad behaviors. It IS the cause of driveability and acceleration issues when teamed up with a 34 PICT carb. But there's no way it can be causing all of the issues Kirin's mentioned. Yes, they don't play well, but it appears that

Mike, Agreedbut any competent VW guy(Kirin probably qualifies) is going to recheck all of those things any way. As an example, I checked mechanical advance curves of the 009 against the mechanical curve part of some late model svda's and chose to install a crippled(no vacuum advance)
