Overview

The EMPI Dual 40 Solex Carburetor Kit is a performance-driven solution designed to unlock the potential of air-cooled engines. This dual 40mm Solex system places a dedicated venturi over each cylinder head intake port, offering a shorter path for the air-fuel mixture to ensure more efficient engine breathing. This results in a noticeable boost in torque and crisp throttle response.

It includes a robust X-bar linkage system for smooth, synchronized throttle operation and gleaming chrome-top air cleaners for an enhanced engine bay appearance. Every component is selected for durability, leak-free seals, and long-lasting reliability, making it a perfect upgrade from stock setups.

Unlock the true potential of your air-cooled engine with the EMPI Dual 40 Solex Carburetor Kit, a performance-driven solution designed to deliver crisp throttle response and significant horsepower gains. Unlike restrictive single-carburetor setups, this dual 40mm Solex system places a dedicated venturi over each cylinder head intake port, ensuring your engine breathes more efficiently and providing a noticeable boost in torque throughout the RPM range. Every component, from gaskets to hardware, is selected to ensure a leak-free seal and long-lasting reliability, offering a perfect balance of "old-school" reliability and modern manufacturing precision. This kit is designed for Type 1 dual-port upright engines and includes standard fitment for Volkswagen Beetles (1971-1977), Karmann Ghias (1971-1974), specific Type 2 Buses (1971 with 1600cc Dual Port Engine), and Things (1973-1974). It is also suitable for custom applications on any air-cooled VW Type 1 based engine (1600cc to 1914cc) utilizing dual-port cylinder heads. Key specifications include: Dual 40mm Solex carburetors with pre-installed 28mm venturis, heavy-duty cast aluminum dual-port intake manifolds, premium X-Bar Hex Bar Linkage, high-flow gauze air cleaners with chrome tops, standard barbed fuel inlets, and all necessary hardware, studs, nuts, washers, and base gaskets. The finish includes natural aluminum manifolds and polished carburetor bodies.
