Maxspeedingrods carburetor

Hello people
Has anyone fitted the maXpeedingrods 4 Cylinder Carburetor 2 Barrel 38 dgs(I assume its a copy) to their golf I purchased one as I went from injection to carb I brought a new to me manifold brought new gaskets and a new base plate as the old one was too small (bells should have rang then) got it fitted turned the key and it idles a little jolty but runs drive it away on low revs it is like I have fuel blockage so I am assuits fuel mixture but need advice on how to set it up  .  Oh if I boot it it drives great  it's just low speed pulling away and such please advise . (I have done the air leak check and its all good   could the carb be too big I have a 1.8 . Thankyou .. Screenshot_20240423_152926_Chrome.jpg

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Do both barrels open at the same time, not progressive first one and then the other? if so i suspect its too big. from very distant memory the carb name you mention reminds me of the one fitted to the old 3 ltr ford capri.

abfmk1  . Yes they both open at the same time   it would be my typical luck if it is the wrong carb

I think you would do better with a twin progressive choke Weber, which would work fine at low revs and  give power at high revs.  An example would be a 28/36 DCD
