Hi there guys! long time no topic? lol

I will be returning to my GX to drive as a daily again soon enough. (can't wait)

the issue thats its always had is… yes you've guessed it! the pierburg 1b3 carb.
i just don't know what to do anymore. I've replaced the auto choke and all gaskets.

I've looked into changing the carb for a weber, for many reasons but all the answers are on threads years old and none of the links work to buy etc.

the car is in extremely good condition with only 40k miles and 2 owners to its name but is let down by this carb.

can anyone help me sort it out before i start driving it again?

thanks guys!

What actually is the issue with the carb? you might find the problem lies somehwere elseif youve given the carb a good service, freshen up and set-up

Your best bet would be posting this question here though ->http://vwgolfmk1.org.u…=big-block-carb-engines_2

i don't know how to set it up and i don't know any where that can sort it for me

do you know of any where?

thankyou for the reply, i will posting in that section now as well

i personally have issues with my carb because the mixture screw doesnt seem to give much adjustment but ive been using a gunson colour tune kit to get mine about right  

Thats probably your best option posting there    Good luck!

well its not so much that as i can do that from the feel of the car as I've always had carb'd cars, but its because of the auto choke its got me lost, so many wires! lol
