Classic Nipple Hub Cap, Fits 5 Bolt VW Rims, Each

OVERVIEW

If your air-cooled Volkswagen is stumbling off the line or struggling to maintain a steady idle, it is likely time to service your progressive carburetor. The EMPI 00-9947-0 Carburetor Rebuild Kit is the professional-grade solution for restoring the crisp throttle response and fuel efficiency that the 32/36 DGV and EPC series carburetors are famous for. Over time, heat cycles and modern fuel additives can degrade internal seals, leading to vacuum leaks and inconsistent fuel delivery. This kit provides the essential high-quality components needed to refresh your fuel system, ensuring your Bug, Bus, or Ghia runs as smoothly as the day you installed your progressive setup. Whether you are dealing with a sticky needle and seat or a leaking accelerator pump, this kit offers a precise fit to eliminate those annoying performance hiccups and get you back on the road with confidence. Don''t let a dirty or worn-out carburetor rob your engine of its potential when a simple afternoon of maintenance can bring it back to life.

Designed specifically for the iconic Weber 32/36 DGV and the EMPI EPC 32/36 progressive carburetors, this tune-up kit is a must-have for any VW owner''s toolbox. Many enthusiasts choose the progressive carburetor for its unique ability to offer fuel economy on the primary circuit and a surge of power when the secondary kicks in; however, that balance depends entirely on the integrity of the internal gaskets and diaphragms. This EMPI kit includes premium ethanol-resistant components that stand up to the rigors of modern pump gas, which is notorious for swelling and destroying older rubber parts. By performing a routine service with this kit, you are not just fixing a leak; you are optimizing your air-fuel mixture and protecting your engine from the lean conditions caused by worn-out seals. It is an affordable way to maintain peak performance without the expense of a full overhaul, making it the ideal choice for seasonal maintenance or a quick weekend refresh on any air-cooled project.
