Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my 6V VW?
A: This carburetor uses a 12V electric choke. If your car is an original 6V system (pre-1967), you'll need to reuse the original 6V choke element or add a 6V step-down resistor, otherwise the choke won't open properly.
Q: Which years and models does it fit?
A: It fits 1946–1948 VW Standard, 1950–1966 Beetle, 1956–1966 Karmann Ghia and 1949–1966 Transporter/Bus, matched to 1300cc, 1500cc and 1600cc single-port engines. Please double-check your OE part number and manifold type before ordering.
Q: Will it fit a dual-port engine?
A: No — this carburetor is designed for single-port manifolds only. It is not compatible with dual-port manifolds (34 PICT-3). Please confirm your manifold type before ordering.
Q: What is included in the package?
A: You get 1 × 30 PICT-1 carburetor, 2 × mounting studs, 1 × high-temperature base gasket and 1 × fuel line plug screw — everything needed for a bolt-on install.
Q: Is installation difficult?
A: It's a direct bolt-on replacement with the same mounting as the original unit. While pre-calibrated, minor idle and mixture adjustment may be needed to match your altitude and distributor timing — normal for any carburetor replacement.
Q: Why should I trust an iFJF carburetor?
A: Every iFJF carburetor is factory airflow calibrated and leak tested before shipping, built from heavy-duty materials, and backed by a 1-year warranty with fast US-based support — no dealership runaround.
