Over the years, we've rebuilt countless stock VW carburetors and there is nothing more frustrating than realizing you're missing a part in the middle of a job. Pick up one of our stock carb rebuild kits today to avoid that headache.

The kit can be used to rebuild any original Solex 28 PICT to 34 PICT-3 carburetors and stock style reproductions versions as well. It can be used with 28 PICT 1, 28 PICT 2, 30 PICT 1, 30 PICT 2, 30 PICT 3 or 34 PICT-3 carburetors. Our kit is made with high quality components that have been tested in thousands of carburetors.

This rebuild kit does not fit 28 PCI or 34 PICT-4 carburetors.

Our Expert's Take:

If you're on the fence about whether you should rebuild your original carburetor or purchase a reproduction, I recommend conducting a quick experiment. Start your car, let it idle for a few minutes, grab some starting fluid, lightly spray the area around the throttle shaft on the carburetor, and listen for a change in RPM. If you hear a change after spraying the area, it's probably time to consider picking up a new carb. That change in RPM is due to flammable gases being sucked into the intake through the leak and being burned by the engine. Please keep in mind that starting fluid is mostly ether, which is extremely flammable. It is dangerous to spray a volatile fluid near any hot surfaces, such as the exhaust or at electrical components, particularly the distributor that is sparking hundreds of times a minute. We recommend having a fire extinguisher on hand to prevent harm to yourself or the vehicle.

Solex carburetors usually get retired because there is a vacuum leak between the throttle shaft and the bushing, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, to properly tune the carburetor. Unfortunately, most people do not have the tools or skill required to replace those bushings and there is no reliable way to plug the leak, so the best option is usually to replace the carburetor with a new unit rather than have it rebuilt professionally. We've seen customers charged up to $300 to have their Solex rebuilt with new throttle shaft bushings, and we've found it's often more cost efficient to purchase a good reproduction instead.

Fuel filters should not be located in the engine compartment. Today's ethanol blended fuel deteriorate fuel hose at an alarming rate and can errode the hosearound any fitting. Regardless of where your filter was or what you've seen in the past, locate your filter at the fuel tank, of off the frame horn. Do notunder any circumstance mount it in the engine compartment and especially not above the distributor.
