I guess the Question is for the Vanagons 83.5 to 91. Is there a company offering Carb kits for the intake as a bolt on?? I know carbs were in some european and other markets. but is there a kit to do this like a brosal or solex even webers single or dual? Ive never seen one offered up by anyone but would be interested for fun. Presently both my 84 and 85 are FI but the 85 is not running well till warmed up so I need to find out why. c-ya Jonce >www.CIP1.com has some air intake manifolds & carbs for the air-cooled.
