    I will look when I get back home, I read a thread on earlie bay and they mentioned f6. Take it that is what they require then?
     
  4. No, I think it is what they always put in regardless and they don't listen to the feedback, should be F78 or F?? Can't remember which exactly, @zedders knows

    It's F78 they put in by default, F6's and it will run very nicely!

    They will have f78 which are hopeless.

    What is the difference then? F6's will get it running properly? I vaguely understand the function of an emulsion tube but the different types I am not familiar with.

    :lol: I only know because the wise ones on here advised us the same info. All this talk of 170's, 55's, F6 etc is like a dark art :D

    They might do, it's worth asking.

    Eurocarb have generic jetting when the send out new carbs, the ICT's are supplied with jets to suit Bedfords, as mentioned previously.

    On our 1911 ours are jetted as follows:
    135 main jets
    55 idle jets
    175 Needle jets
    160 Air corrections
    F6 Emulsions

    Peter Burgess tuned them to the above

    It's strange because they ask for the engine size when ordering and they are labelled as vw twin carb kit. How annoying.
