How do you tune up a dual carb vw engine?

I have a 1776 with dual Dellorto carbs. They get out of sinc often and also need tuned up often. It's costing me more than I would like to get it tuned up. The carbs basically need sinced (spelled wrong) to run better. Someone said there is a tool for this, but I am not sure what it is. I wish there was a computer program that I could run on it to set the carbs. Also, why do carbs get out of tune so often?How do you tune up a dual carb vw engine?they didnt make cars in 1776. but the carbs get out of tune because they are not calibrated like FI engines. they do not use advance computers to run. especially if it is a (19)76 VW, it most likely runs on a very very simple pin type computer. just get a new carb or a new car. the original carb is prolly f-ed up. they dont stay good forever, just like FI'sHow do you tune up a dual carb vw engine?Feed the horses some nitros. Just add a couple liters to their normal serving of hay, and they'll fly faster and higher than Benjamen Franklin's kite.How do you tune up a dual carb vw engine?Well if you have dual carbs, then you need a unisyn gauge. This is a gauges that sits in the throat of the carb and measures air flow with a ball in a tube.



I tried to tune carbs by ear early in my motoring experience, Austin Healys with Dual SU side draft carbs, and could never get them perfect. But once I had the unisyn gauge it twere a piece of cake to

set the fuel and air mix as now I could see what each carb was doing.

go to mamotorworks.com and type in synchronizer and you can buy it from them. Ive never used one but its the best way to do it NOT by ear. no computer program for it (no electronics). Go to cbperformance.com to get the new updated fuel injection and you can do it with a computer.
