I have a Golf Mk2 1800 - Last week I replaced the Pierburg carb with a Weber 32/34 DTML, which was taken off my previous 1600 Mk2 Golf .
I replaced the 1600 jets with new 1800 jets as specified by the Weber spec sheet - I have adjusted the mixture screw and idle screw to Weber specs and it idles perfect and plus look good - the problem is with the new 1800 jets you have to press the throttle very slowly to build up the revs otherwise the engine dies - it wont rev when you blip the throttle quickly or pull away quickly!.
However, I tried putting the 1600 jets back in and the engine runs fine / drives fine - BUT I dont seem to be able to adjust the mixture as it seems to be running very rich - the plugs are black/sooted up.
Does anyone know how I can rectify this problem without going to the expense of putting the car on a rolling road which would probably cost more than the cars worth?
Also, I dont want to use the 1600 jets because its running so rich but what are the implications of running an 1800 car using 1600 jets?
Thanks
Howard
