EMPI EPC 38 EGAS Progressive Single Carburetor Kit — Type 1, Electric Choke | VW Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia & Thing (47-0628-0)

Stock-carb driveability without the stock-carb headaches. The EMPI EPC 38 EGAS Progressive Carburetor Kit (47-0628-0) is a complete bolt-on single carburetor for air-cooled VW engines — a progressive two-barrel that cures the hard starts, stumbles, and flat spots of a worn-out original carburetor, with a small primary for economy and a larger secondary that opens up when you ask for power.
