To
compliment our other lines of rebuilt engine components for early VW
vehicles, Vintage Werks maintains an inventory of rebuilt early
carburetors of the type used on 25hp and 36hp VW beetle and transporter
engines in production through the end of the 1960 model year. We
only deal with original factory carburetors, i.e. German Solex 26VFIS
or 28PCI with variable jetting depending on the year and
application. These have been restored in a manner described under
our ‘Restoration Page’ and have been reassembled with careful attention
to proper function of the linkage, accelerator pump and ball
checks. In addition, all mating surfaces have been refaced to
assure proper seating internally and with the manifold. The
carburetors are sold ready to bolt into your complete with manifold
gasket. |
SOLEX 26 VFIS - $225.00 - IN STOCK |
| The 26VFIS, a very basic form of downdraft carburetor, was supplied with 25hp engine equipped VW beetles and transporters built before October 1952. It relied solely on air movement through the venturi to volatilize gasoline from the float bowl and consequently had some hesitation on acceleration. |
SOLEX 28 PCI - $150.00 - IN STOCK |
 |
The 28PCI was introduced in October 1952 for the 25hp engine which remained in production through December 1953, along with many other changes to the VW beetle and remained in service on all 36hp engine equipped VW beetles and transporters through the end of production in August 1960. The 28PCI offered an improvement over its predecessor with the provision of an accelerator pump which helped engine acceleration and performance. Important jetting changes to the 28PCI accompanied the introduction of the 36hp engine in December 1953 and again when the 36hp engine was reconfigured in August 1954. For jetting specifications and chassis numbers refer to the ‘Technical’ page. |
