JD, having lived with twin PCI's for a while now, how do you rate them?

Also, are you sticking with the cent dizzy? What would stop you having two vacuum lines with a T piece from both carbs to a stock vac dizzy?

Thanks. 😎

Hard to say how much better it is as I fitted the twin carbs to add more power, only to discover that the reason it was so bad before, was that the original dizzy was kippered. So it was awful before and now it´s only pretty bad.:lol:

The centrifugal dizzy is supposed to have a better advance curve for a mildly tuned engine (so I´m told). I guess it would work with vacuum lines though. I´ll dig up the part number for mine if you want to look out for one. They came on late 1950s busses.

30horse motors in general seem to vary pretty wildly. I´ve met people who claim theirs will run 120kph with the single carb, which is as good as mine is now with the twins. Maybe my cam is round. While it´s not much faster with the twin carbs, it is noticeably quicker off the mark and you get more overlap in the gears. It will now generally hold 50mph up steep hills on the autobahn too, which it wouldn´t before. And if not then i can drop to third and scream it along at 50mph anyway. Its more flexible in general.

No, it´s not an 010. I used a VJ4BR8 (which is identical to a VJR4BR8 or a 0 231 129 019)

Glen Ring told me they´re the one you want for a mild 36horser.

The 019 is great on stock and mild performance engines. The 010 works best on mild to high performance.

The 010 has a few more degrees advance and it's all in at a lower RPM.

The 019 is much better than a 009... anyday.

Just remember that any 019 is atleast 40 years old, so it should be cleaned and relubricted at a minimum.

BTW... the 019 came in the standard black or the metalic blue when sold in the "Screamer" kit.

I have just bought a kit without carbs for app. 400 euro. I just called mr. Reichert on the phone and ordred the complete manifold kit with the rebuild kit for my carbs. Mr. Reichert speaks a very nice english so no troubles here. About 4 weeks later I got a big package with all the goodis.
The kit is very comprehensive and complete it is easy to install. The only thing I have done is making two new rods for the acc. pumps to make the amount of fuel smaller from them. I made them 8 mm longer than the originals and made a 4mm thread for easy adjustment. I use a distribitor from a split bus without vaccum advance.

hello, i got a 30hp engine from a friend with the same riechert kit that suffers from drowning when i open the throttle.
I was thinking that the acc. pump injected to much when opening the throttle thus drowning the motor what causes it to die or to start hesitating (and shaking).
Could you ( or someone else offcourse)post a pic of modified rods for the acc pump?
I was thinking to shortening the springs or as you suggested to make new rods, longer than stock.

A pic would really be handy.

thx in advance
