First, the dunebuggy bearing worked great and fast

First, the dunebuggy bearing worked great and fast. Goods arrive earlier than stated. Always good. Now for the carburetor, ideal in every way. Looks fantastic, well packaged and has extra jets. As one reviewer said, this carb was made to work right out of the box. Get dressed and go. I even run the 009 distribution and there is no more flat bottom. I can't find anything to complain about and I love complaining. I think EMPI has really upped their game and is offering some good things for VW. Iโ€ฆ

Terrible quality control

I heard a long time ago not to buy EMPI but have since forgotten it and fell for the positive reviews from Revain. it shook a lot and when I parked the car to diagnose the problem I saw fuel dripping from the bottom of the carburetor. I removed the breather and found that the carburetor was absolutely loaded with fuel (see video) to the point where my engine was stuck in a hydraulic lock. This was probably due to a defect in the needle and seat mechanism. I did everything according to theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Carburettor
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Great buy for carburetor

So far I like this carburetor. She replaced the original Solex, which did not idle even after a complete overhaul. It turned out that one of the threaded holes in the electric choke (sorry, I refuse to call it electronic) had been removed, which likely caused vacuum problems due to poor sealing. This carburetor fixed everything: after the initial adjustments (described on the sheet in the box) and once the fuel entered the carburetor, my Beetle idled fine. Driven for a short time, no problemsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • carburetor and parts
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Made a bet; it paid off

I was impressed; Given the mixed reviews/feelings towards these EMPI reproductions of the original Solex in the VW community. But I was more than pleasantly surprised. When it arrived I removed the top and removed the plugs and jets to check for dirt and swap out the large main and idle jets they supply with the carburetor. In general the casting is very handsome, the drills are clean and in place; just overall a pretty decent fit and finish. I then did the basic setup according to theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • fuel system
Cons
  • communication with seller
