[T3] Introduction of a newbie to the world of the Type 3

[Know One]

The couple of Pick-N-Pull's in the Sacramento area occasionally have T3's.

Join up with the local VW group here online: http://www.norcalvdubs.com 
And we are on Facebook, search for State Route 49 Vdubs

Folks post when there are VWs spotted at wrecking yards.

Some folks in the State Route 49 Vdubs group that have parts as well.

I may have missed it, but what brand of carbs do you have?

Jeff '67 Sqbk

>Nice to know that there is someone close(ish) by. This 71 was converted to carbs. I do have one question. It is running rich and flooding out. I already figure the carbs require cleaning and rebuild. My question is, when looking down the throat while running, should the fuel be dripping or a fine spray? I noticed this when revving it up too. Not so much a squirt of fuel, but bigger drips. I have worked on Hollys, Rochesters, Edelbrocks, and Zenith Steomburgs and they all seem to have been sprayers when it comes to fuel. Any ideas? Solex carbs are new to me.

>Also, do you know of any places in this area that I could find some parts like any VW wrecking yards up in the hills? The ones down here have none. I am looking for seats.

>Hey Matt! I'm not real far away, just up the hill in Nevada City. I have a '67 Sqbk.

>Not that I have much in the way of parts hanging around (well nothing really), and I have an earlier generation of T3, but I am more familiar with T3's than any other vehicle.
