i think its a similar carb to the 1.6 possibly a slightly different
model.

The original carb is the same, as is the weber replacement. They have
different jetting.

performance is good other than the clutch slipping slightly if your in
too high a gear.
i would say low down its not that great, and i know the 8v gti is a
lot more responsive here, but higher in the rev range i think it
matches a gti.
strange how the gti will easily get 35-40mpg and the driver less than
30. you would think the driver would do more.

The injection ssytem is more accurate than a carb, so unless you've got
your foot down, it's more efficeient.

its not a big problem as i'm hoping to find a gti soon, i'm still in
love with mk2's, love the shape, refinement (for the age) and
reliability. cant see myself getting a newer golf for some time.. i'd
probably skip to a mk4 next, mk3 just doesnt do anything for me..

I really liked my Mk2, except that it was white.
