Classic Volkswagen air cooled engines are known for their character, enjoyable driving experience and traditional German engineering. To keep an air cooled engine running as it should, its carburettors, ignition system and engine settings need to be in suitable condition and correctly adjusted.
I started my career working at a VW Audi dealership in London back in 1981, I then started my own tuning business in 1983 specialising in air cooled engine tuning.
Expert carburettor tuning for all Volkswagen air cooled engines.
I can help investigate common concerns such as uneven idling, difficult starting, hesitation, misfires and poor running. Where appropriate, this includes checking ignition timing, assessing carburettor operation and balancing twin carburettors.
The aim is to identify problems where possible and tune the engine correctly, rather than make adjustments without first understanding its condition.
Carburettor condition and balance can have a significant effect on how an air cooled engine runs. Twin carburettors, in particular, need to work together correctly to provide consistent airflow and fuel delivery.
My tuning work may include:
The work required depends on the model, engine, carburettor type and mechanical condition.
The Crypton CMT 2000 helps investigate ignition performance and engine running concerns. It can provide useful diagnostic information when a classic Volkswagen is difficult to start, misfires or does not run smoothly.
Where faults are identified, I can discuss the findings and any additional repairs or replacement parts that may be required before the engine can be tuned accurately.
