Howdy all, new to vw engines and Weber carbs, but not new to engines and carbs. I've built and worked on mostly American 4 barrel styles and Bing carbs. I've ordered the Haynes Weber manual but it hasn't arrived yet. I brought this engine up from sea level to it's new home at 7400 ft. It definitely needs to be re-jetted and currently has a 52 in what I think is the main jet (#5). I can make it idle using what I think are the idle fuel adjusters, the big spring loaded screws at the base.
My guesses are:
#1 - ??? didn't touch them yet
#2 - ??? looked like a plugged hole
#3 - ??? why only on one side?
#4 - Needle and seat?
#5 - main jet
#6 - idle speed
Are their some model Identification numbers hidden somewhere?
Then there are two on the back side by the fan tin work that I couldn't take a picture of. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The engine also has headers with a super trap...what's a good muffler to tame down the sound without going silent with too much back pressure?
Thanks
