Hello LastmANX,
I NOW WANT A NEW CARB!!!! After you have enlightened me the 30/31 Pic, looks so much easier to service and I heard run better, please recall I am not looking for performance, just a smooth power delivery

Hello All, I just have a quick question for all of you, I am trying to get insurance for my buggy, but, what a hassle, most insurance companies want pictures and then they say it is high risk and want $800 Annually to insure a 5K buggy. What am I missing, my dirt bike is much cheaper than that??????...

OK All, On to my next question. I am in the process of ordering a 30/31 Pict carb for my buggy and I was told by VW Paradise that it would never work correctly with a exhaust pre-heat tube, is this true? I do not have the pre-heat risers on my headers. I was also told that is more than likely the ca...

Thanks LastManx, You are correct, the clutch cable still has more adjustment left in it if I unbend the cable and shorten up the cable using those cheesy u-bolts you are referring to. I have already checked the valves using the John Muir manual, this is old hat to me as I have a 4 stroke dirt bike t...

Hello All, Just wanted to report my shift/transaxle no longer grinds going into gear and now I can find all gears easily. I first started off my project by checking clutch end play, it had half a pedal worth, so I got under the buggy and adjusted the wing nut until I had about half an inch free play...

I think it did grind with other shifter, but I am not sure if it was me or the shifter, it was such a very very short throw

Rick

LastManx, Will the 30/31 pict work with my current intake maniford? Also, if I decide later to get a vacuum advance distributor, will the 30/31 pict carb support the vacuum needed? Do I tell my parts guy a want a 30 or 31 Pict, is there a 3 in it also like the 34Pict 3, what exactly am I looking for...

LastManx,

So Am I hearing you say replace the carb with an older one? Which one do you recommend, and lastly, how about the distributor, keep it or change it out?

Rick

No, I hear nothing out of the usual

Hello Turtle,
It only grinds when stopped going into first or reverse, no other gears affected? Hope this helps, what do you recommend, clutch adjustment?
Thanks,
Rick

Hello,
Mine is actually running a bit rich as I keep it at 7200 Feet above sea level, It does have a 009 distributor, not an actual 009, but an equivlant with mechanical advance. It does have a pretty big hesitation and the carb was just rebuilt

What is your recommendation?
Thanks in advance
Rick

Hello All,

I was just told by VW Paradise in San Marcos that if it grinds only in first and reverse, the clutch is simply misadjusted, could anyone verify this before I adjust it?

Thanks,

Rick

Hello All,

My 1600 DP currently has a 34Pic 3 installed and seems to occasional backfire and act kindof weird, should I be going to an 30 or 31 pict??? what does pict 3 mean?

Thanks for all your help

Rick

Hello Lastmanx, I do not try to put it into first until the buggy is stopped, however, even when stopped it grinds, which it not do with the short throw shift, so I do believe it is misadjusted, what way should I try to go with the new shifter?? I know I have room to move it forward and backwards, b...

Hello All, Well, I just got the buggy out of the shop and went to install my new EMPI stock shifter (Please recall I am removing my short throw trigger handle shifter) It went on very easily, but now it grinds going into first gear, it seems 2, 3 and 4th gear are easy to find, but the grinding to ge...
