I know its a Holly, but thats it. I need to get a rebuild kit for it.
Any have info or a link for the kit?
It says 650 30 on it. Not to familiar with this stuff yet.

Also the automatic choke isnt working. I have to hold my hand over it to get it started.

Throw that thing in the garbage and get a weber to replce it, I have 1 of those too, and I putit on the antique shelve.

i was thinking that was hoping it was something decent lol. Save some $$$...
Im thinking this is the root of all my issues, hard to start, not much power. Wants to stall when i give it a bit of gas.

Check on TheSamba.com :: Volkswagen Classifieds, photos, shows, forums, and information and maybe someone there will be able to help you out.

Check the location I told you about.

The carb that you have was originally made for use on a Ford Pinto and a Chevrolet Vega, and was soon afterward adapted to us on VW's. I can't guarantee these numbers but I think those carbs were Holley 7200 and/or 7210's. Performance was great on the VW aircoooled motors, but every one of them required some re-jetting to get them to act right.

I think it might be a good time for an upgrade to a later version carb versus trying to rebuild and possibly playing the rejetting game.

Thanks for the info Loner, very helpful. Yeah a nice upgrade sounds good to me.
