Quality Parts and Tech Info for Classic Aircooled Volkswagen Enthusiasts
We are in the midst of renovating our site!
Our online store will re-open on WEDNESDAY AUGUST 12th with some exciting updates and improvements to your parts shopping experience.
If you already have an order in process with us, don't panic!
We are still processing and shipping orders from our warehouse as normal even while our site is offline.
We sincerely appreciate your patience while we are doing these site upgrades.
OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is TEMPORARILY PAUSED to allow our warehouse staff time to catch up on the shipping and backorder backlog for already received orders in progress.
Our checkout system will re-open on Saturday January 29th at 3:00pm (MST)
You may want to copy and paste to save the items your cart (that includes links back to the items listings) in order to save them, just in case your browser does not. We hope that you will return when our online checkout resumes accepting new orders.
ORDER REQUESTS ARE BEING FULFILLED/SHIPPED as backordered items become available, but many popular products are delayed or in short supply. Restock ETAs for backordered items are often either unavailable, or unreliable. We continue to answer emails as best we can, but we are operating with less than half of our normal staff, so please be patient. Your understanding is appreciated while our company struggles to weather the challenges from Covid-19, and do what we still can to support the aircooled VW hobby.
NOTICE
Supply-chain disruptions have hampered our ability to restock items reliably. Many sought after parts are backordered without ETA info -- backorders with unreliable restock ETAs are VERY frustrating for us as well. We are doing what we can to adapt and recover from the changes to our industry, but currently many shipments are delayed and our response time to emails are slow (we are severely short-staffed). Even if we can't reply to your email promptly, please trust that we ARE working on getting delayed items back into stock for you, and we will contact you when we have any updated news. We appreciate your continued support and understanding.
When you place an online order request, you can opt to have in-stock items processed for shipment in advance of any backordered items. For out of stock items, you are NOT CHARGED, you are automatically added to the reservation waitlist, and we post stock status / backorder info to your Order Status/History Detail View in your online Customer Account. You can email to cancel un-shipped/un-paid items at any time as long as they are not special order or made/machined-to-order.
Please only continue if you are prepared to be PATIENT. Requested items could be delayed by supplier-level backorder, and we usually aren't given reliable ETA information. We work diligently to source and fulfill your request for items as best we can.

This carb is actually better than the original 34 pict german carb with an improved idle circuit and altitude compensation.....Every other brand is a bogus chinese made piece of junk so dont waste your time .......I use this carb on my 1835cc thickwall bus motors with a 140 main jet and a 65 idle with great success

Removed my old carb and bolted this right on. Used some 5mm cloth covered fuel hose also from ACN to run between the fuel pump and carb.
Motor turned over a few times once the fuel hit the carb it fired right up! The air screw (big one) was out all the way and the carb sounded like a vacuum cleaner. Shut off the car and the big screw was hard to turn due to the o-ring being dry. I removed the screw and sprayed the o-ring with DeepCreep and installed it. Bottomed it out then backed out 2.5 turns.
Threw my timing light / tachometer combo on it and was just amazed Still not fully adjusted I was purring at 900rpm. Finally properly set the timing on my ACN SVDA which works very well with this carb.
If you know for sure you have a carb problem this is 100% worth the price!

Don't even think about getting a Chinese made VW carb. I've gone through three of them, and no matter what brand it written on it, you can tell they're all made in the same factory, and to the same level of "quality".
This is really good quality. You can tell it's been cast well, and out of a good material. Since it's bench-tested, that should mean that the little adjustment screw is already set, I think. I know mine was right. Of course, you have to adjust the big screw.
You really should be absolutely certain that you need a new carb before you drop 300 big ones on it.
Also note that if you have one of the giant Motorola alternators, this will catch slightly. All you need to do in that case is grind back the alternator housing slightly. It's plenty thick. Just be careful of those sparks.
In summary, this carb is second only to a real VW-Solex, but just make sure you actually have a carb problem before you buy.
The only 34 to buy
