Need carb rebuild kits for FRD34 Dellorto carbs...Help!!!

Hey guys! I've looked and talked to nearly everyone I can think of for Baby Dell rebuild kits. It seems that every supplier and VW speed shop I talk to have them on back order and they don't know for sure when they are going to show up. Does anyone know a supplier that can help and/or have them in stock? thanks Mike

CB performance list individual parts - have ya tried them?

www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=597

try www.dellorto.co.uk I know there is another site but offhand I can't remember,

CBPerformance I've tried, their on back order. I've also tried the Dellorto wed site with No luck. I'm still looking! thanks, Mike

Still not the site I was looking for ,but try www.racecar.co.uk you will either have to phone them or e mail em with your model # good luck

Try Ben Gouse at Small Car in Eugene Oregon. I just paid $60 for one kit. Kinda spendy but complete'
541 345 9308

Ralph, Thanks for the info, But $60.00 Per kit is a bit much for me! I've priced the kits for anywhere from $9.95 to $18.95 per kit. But all the suppliers are saying anyday to 1 month wait on their shipment. I'll continue to wait , while I'm still looking for someone who still has them in stock. Thanks mike

I'm still looking!!! Mike

Hey Ralph, I'm still having a hard time finding the Dellorto FRD34 carb kits, so I gave in and took your advice and called Ben Gouse. He could'nt help either. Does anyone else know of anybody else I can call for these carb kits? thanks Mike

Hey thanks to everyone for their advice and help! I'm getting very impatient waiting for the Dellorto rebuild kits to come in so I think I'm going to put them on e-bay and/or the Samba.com and sell them. Their in excellent condition with short aluminum intakes manifolds, hex bar linkage, and oval aluminum breathers. They have already been cleaned and prept for rebuild. They really are in exceptional condition, they just need rebuild kits! If any one is interested let me know! thanks Mike

I finally got the Dellorto carb kits!!!! I'll be taking off the single 34 solex carb and installing the dual set up in the next few days. I'll let you guys know how it turns out! mike

Glad everything worked out in the end! Wish you the best of luck; hope they turn out great!

Finally got the FRD34 baby Dellorto carbs rebuilt and put on!! These little jewels really perked up the performance!!! It's got really SMOOOOOOTH power now!!! yeeeee.....haaa!! Thanks guys, for all your advice. Mike

Michael, where did you get the rebuild kits?

Bill, The Dellorto carb kits came from www.dellorto.com. Real nice helpful people! I think their based in the United Kingdom. The cost was a little over $100.00 shipped to my door. Yeh...that really is a little strong on price but I could not get them anywhere else. I had been waiting for CB Performance and many other suppliers to get them in for months at a much cheaper price with no luck....so I bit the bullit and gave in and payed the price. I'm glad I did it now. It's over......and the car runs great! Mike

I just rebuilt my Dell 40's on Friday. Remembering this thread and Michael's results, I'd like to throw in an additional YeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaah! I can't believe the difference and smoothness the car has now. I only wish I'd have done it months ago. Carbs always intiminated me, but after attending Henry Reisner's carb seminar at Carlisle, I went for the Gusto. Thanx! Henry for the inspiration.
I also retired my ages old Uni-syn for the "snail" synchronizer.
I must say everything heard here is spot on. This thing is much more accurate and it doesn't "choke" the cylinder like the Uni-syn did. You can leave it on the carb for as long as you are adjusting. Worked great setting an air corrector valve.
