CARBURETION

Fueling the Passion for Air-Cooled Performance

The heart of every air-cooled Volkswagen is its carburetion system. Whether you're chasing the smooth, nostalgic idle of a factory-original restoration or the aggressive, high-RPM scream of a dual-carb sand rail, your fuel delivery system dictates your engine's power, cooling, and reliability. At Appletree Automotive, we provide the specialized carburetion solutions required to feed everything from a stock 1200cc Beetle to a high-displacement stroker engine.

We stock an extensive inventory of carburetors, intake manifolds, and linkages designed to survive the heat of the desert and the demands of the street.

Why Shop Carburetion at Appletree Automotive?

• The Industry’s Best Brands: We carry the heavy hitters of VW performance, including genuine Weber, Solex, EMPI, and Dellorto. Whether you need a single 34 PICT-3 for your daily driver or a set of dual 48 IDAs for the drag strip, we have the hardware in stock.

• Performance for the Dirt: Off-road environments present unique challenges for fuel systems. We offer specialized carb kits and "float-bowl" modifications designed specifically for dune buggies and sand rails to prevent stalling on steep inclines and rough terrain.

• Complete Rebuild & Tuning Solutions: You don't always need a new carb to get back on the road. We stock precision rebuild kits, gaskets, and an exhaustive selection of jets, venturis, and air correctors to help you fine-tune your fuel curve for any altitude or engine spec.

• Intake Manifolds & Precision Linkage: A carburetor is only as good as its connection to the engine. We provide high-flow intake manifolds and "hex-bar" or cable linkages that offer smooth, synchronized throttle response across all cylinders.

• The Appletree Advantage: Tuning a carburetor is a technical art. Our team of experts understands the "baseline" settings for air-cooled engines and can help you select the right carburetor size and jetting to ensure a successful first fire.
