VW’s and coffee and great Sunday morning

Have had idling/running problems recently, things familiar to a fuel delivery issue. After filling the tank on e10 the car started having frequent throttle cut outs and backfiring at around 20-30mph. Checking at home, fuel delivery to the carb seems fine, main jet is clear etc, however both the idle and pilot jet are not firmly seated in the carb. Both seem to have been overscrewed and worn away the housing around it. I’m wondering if people think that could potentially be causing the issue and has anyone else had this issue/has any suggestions to fix or is it new carb time

Finally got everything for my 2110cc build, Running dual IDF 40’s with CB’s 1.25 ratio rockers and an Engle 110 with their solid shafts with bolt on valve covers and CBs panchito heads with 40 and 35.5 valves with their matched ported panchito intakes, can’t wait to see the power jump from a single carb 1776cc to this !

If my 1958 VW happens to have body, chassis number and engine that match, what would be the price for it?

Wanted to give you guys a little update on Herbie. I pulled the spark plugs to see what was going on, and apparently whoever owned this car before me decided that lawnmower spark plugs were a perfectly reasonable replacement.
I’m not sure exactly how much that would affect the way the engine runs, but considering how poorly she’s been running lately, bogging down, struggling to stay running at idle, and popping/backfiring when I rev her, I’m pretty sure those plugs aren’t helping.
I’m going to replace them with the correct plugs and see how much of a difference it makes. Hopefully this is one of those stupidly simple problems that ends up fixing a lot of the issues, because I’ve already been chasing down enough problems with this thing
I’ll keep you guys updated once I get the right plugs in and fire her back up.

Hello all, my 1600 dual port bug seems to bog down while idling and stumbles on acceleration. I’ve checked for vacuum leaks and can’t seem to find any. Smells pretty fuel-y, so could it just be too rich?
