Looking for a replacement carb for my '67 Beetle 1300 Euro
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a replacement carb for my 1967 Beetle Euro Spec. Currently I have a Solex 30/31 PICT carb on my stock 1300. I've been trying to work out the "bugs" on it and while me and my mechainc were fine tuning the timing we couldn't figure otu why we couldn't get the idle to come down below 1000 rpms with correcting the timing. We would run out of threads on the idle screw so that it would almost fall out of the carb. After looking around...we happened to look down into the carb and noticed...A-HA!...somebody drilled an 1/8" hole in the throttle plate butterfly flap which was causing a vacuum leak. So, I'm looking for another carb rebuilt, needing a rebuild - just as long as all the parts are there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can post here or email me directly at midniteoctane@gmail.com

On a different note, I took some pics of my bug today at lunch in the warehouse and did a little photoshop magic...thought I'd share.
