type 3 dual carb tuning

[biker4christ]

Im using a type 3 engine on my trike, the problem is i believe in the carbs, it spits and sputters when i twist the throttle, some time more than others, also cyls 3 and 4 seem to run hotter than 1 and 2, it has weber 32 pict 3, dual carbs, im new to vw's so im lost here. Any help is appreciated

Is that number 32 pict-3 from the carb? If so it/they are solex not weber.

I am not an expert but from doing searches it looks like type 3 dual carbs were Solex 32 PDSIT...

Is there a balance tube between the intakes manifolds?

As far as one side running diff than other, hunt down and fix vacuum leaks.

Set the valves and the timing then adjust the carbs.
Confirm which carbs you have and google search for an adjustment procedure for them.

Please post up some pics of the trike!

The preface to adjusting dual carbs,regardless of which type of carbs or linkage biker is to 1st make sure that everything else down below-valves & ignition timing-are set up as perfectly as possible ,but it'd be best if you could just click & post up a few pics of your setup so we can verify the actual type of carbs & linkage you have,then we'd be able to target in on specific fixes for your situation .

Thanks for correcting that. I have done that a couple of times and never knew it did not list the threads.

Your right they are solex, i knew that ,dont know why i put weber, ya they r 32 p3, im in Ks  for bout a week so ill try pics when i get back to missouri,
It seems they are runnin a little rich, esp on left side ,(lookin from back) have vac tubes plugged, dont need em yet not runnin anythbing that needs vacume, and right side pops a little, loosened the jet on outside of  carb and seemed to run great but cant leave it loose so thinki.n jet is plugged there. Gonna run some cleaner in gas to see if that helps. Also gotta put manual choke on bcause the elec choke heat element is shot on one side, and cant afford a new right now, crashed a bike last Oct and almost killed me, messed me up good, partial paralisis in left calf an foot so i cant shift a bike outta 1st unless it has heel toe shift, thats why im goin trike now. Thied to post a pic but i cant resize em on this phone, ill try again tho,

I used to be able to post Jpg images here but now they wont and gives me an error 
So now I use photobucket to copy the pic link to the chirco forum via the 'insert image' tool.
There is a 'How to' video to post a pic in the "Video  & Photo" board...
Hope this helps
