Thanks for the reply Asad, I believe the H 30 PICT S is an OEM carb for Brazil made VWs. (Not sure though)
I swapped it out for a 30 PICT carb this afternoon, I'll see how it runs next week when I get some free time.

Coming to the topic.....There is a possibility of the electromagnetic cutoff switch being missing from the carb. I am assuming you got the complete engine from a bone yard or off someone. It may have been taken off/pilfered by someone having access to the unit. However you do need to inspect the port on the right hand side of the carb (RHS of the car too). Do you see a threaded aperture?? If not, is there any brass item in place?? Imagine the longish cutoff switch with the electronic part broken off. It would look *something* like a main jet albeit with a small ball where the hole of the main jet would be. This is the non electric air correction jet. Many carbs had it, tho I assume its a rare sight in the US. So it may be a case of the eye not picking up what the mind could not see. The carb in general could use a good clean after a complete dismantling. The lines may be gunked up and such. Crap, rust flakes and what not can do wonders in choking up a carby. A can of carb cleaner would come in handy. Btw, I have not heard of a 30 PICT S. The S part. Could it be a 2?? Or maybe Brazil only?? I saved my 59 ragtop from the junkyard and on firing up the engine, I faced the exact opposite of your dilema. It would idle fine but not rev, just splutter, misfire, cutoff and such but no smooth revs. Turned out that the accelerator pump tube, the U shaped thingy in the throat which sprays gas down on revving, was actually broken in its usual place. To the newbie it seemed like a component as it had snapped off so neatly it looked genuine. A trip to the machine shop, spending two sodas worth of money and a freebie tube from a friend later saw the engine purring like a kitten. Best of luck with your efforts.
