Product Description

  • One of the best quality replacement "Dual Port" Carburetors available
  • 70 Air Jet - 127.5 Main Jet - .55 Idle Jet
  • Extra 60 Idle & 130 Jets Included for fuels with ethanol additives
  • 12 Volt Choke & Idle Solenoid
  • Adjustable Float

  • EMPI now offers stock replacement carburetors for both single port and dual port engines. The 34 PICT-3 reproduction by EMPI is designed to meet the original Volkswagen specifications. It looks and functions just like the unit from the factory, and is proving to be a great choice for stock engine applications. It comes installed with a 12 volt choke and 12 volt idle solenoid (cut-off) valve. The 12v choke can be used on 6 volt systems but will take longer to warm up. You must remove the cut off solenoid and plug the part on the side of the carburetor housing if running a 6 volt electrical system. The carburetor comes with one base gasket for installing the new unit onto the intake manifold.

    Our Expert's Take:

    We've sold thousands of these carburetors and have had great success with them. They are very tunable and out of the box, they are pretty much spot on and ready to go. For our own stock dual port 1600cc engines, more often than not, this or our own 113129031KJB are the carburetors we run. We recommend running a stock vacuum advance or SVDA distributor to alleviate off idle hesitation.

    We strongly recommend you check out the tech tips tab above for more information on troubleshooting your old carburetor before purchasing a new one.

    NOTE: WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RETURNS ON INSTALLED CARBURETORS. PLEASE ATTEMPT TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS ENUMERATED IN THE TECH TIPS SECTION AND REVIEW OUR RETURNS POLICY BEFORE PURCHASING.

    Can not be used with Autostick models Our carburetors are set up to run gasoline, not a blended gasoline/ethanol mix that is common in some areas. If your local fuel has 10% or more ethanol content (not, E85) or you find that the carburetor is running lean, you can swap out the standard jets for the larger option.

    Helpful Hints

    Spend a little time! Save a lot of money!

    Make sure to troubleshoot your Carburetor before purchasing a new one.

    Our Carburetors are factory bench tested, adjusted, and ready to install. They are guaranteed to work properly right out of the box, free of all manufacturing defects. If your engine is currently not running well and continues to run poorly after a new carburetor has been installed, the problem is either not the carb, or there may be additional problems hindering performance. We highly recommend you check, diagnose and exhaust every other possibility before purchasing a new carburetor, because they will not be refunded once installed. The problems are far less expensive than the cost of a new carburetor!

    Check for intake leaks at the carburetor base gasket, at the intake manifold boots and end castings (for dual port manifolds), at the
    cylinder head, and that the manifold itself is not cracked or pin-holed.

    Make sure that the ignition timing is correct and your spark plugs, plugs wires, points, condenser, cap and rotor are in good condition.

    Make sure that the valves are adjusted properly.

    Check that your fuel pressure is proper. Often times new fuel pumps put out more pressure than carburetors can use.

    MOST IMPORTANTLY make sure your current carburetor is adjusted properly. If you are not familiar with setting a carburetor take the car to a certified mechanic that is familiar with VWs.

    Shipping

    Our shipping policy is as follows:
    We ONLY ship within the United States and its territories.

    Orders over $100 will receive free shipping within the continental United States. Freight on under $100 will be $9.95. Large packages ship FedEx. Smaller packages ship US Priority Mail. Delivery time averages 1-5 business days after it ships.

    Most orders to Hawaii, Alaska, APO/FPO, Puerto Rico and other US territories are shipped by the US Postal Service. The shipping costs for these orders are billed at the time of shipping.

    For expedited shipping, you must call us. All express orders are personally handled by the representative you speak with in order to streamline the process. Please do not request express shipping via email. Emails are reviewed in the order they are received which could possibly delay your shipping.

    Shipping on any returns is the customer's responsibility. If your order qualified for free shipping and a returned item reduces your order below the $100, you will be charged the according shipping cost for the order.

    Returns

    90 Day Return Policy

    You can return most unused, never installed, like-new items for 90 days from the date of receipt. Items must be in like-new condition. The following items are final sale:
    • Special order items
    • Special order upholstery
    • Electrical items
    • Installed carburetors
    Like-new Condition: JBugs may refuse a return when the returned item is not in like-new condition. These situations will lead to refused returns:
    • Installed items
    • Items missing parts or the original packaging material
    • Items damaged in return shipping due to improper packaging
    • Carburetors that smell like fuel
    • Damage due to customer negligence
    • Items with scour marks that show installation or attempted installation from nuts, bolts, screw-driver’s, washers, etc.

    Returns must be sent in a proper shipping box.
    With the exception of parts that are shipped to you in the original manufacturer packaging (example - TMI door panels, floor pans, complete front beams, etc), please be sure to return the parts with an external box or protective packaging around the parts you are returning. Most manufacturer packaging boxes are not rated for shipping and can become damaged or destroyed as they are too thin to withstand forces applied during the shipping process. Failure to do so will result in a higher restocking/reboxing fee or outright refusal of the return if the part cannot be restocked in the same condition it arrived at you.
