EMPI 40K Deluxe Kadron Dual Carburetor Kit — Twist Linkage | VW Type 1 Dual Port (43-4430-0)The EMPI 40K Deluxe Kadron Carburetor Kit is a faithful reproduction of the original Brazilian Solex Brosol sidedraft carburetors that earned the Kadron name a cult following in the air cooled VW community. Smoother and more streetable than a Weber IDF or HPMX, with the period correct look restoration enthusiasts and Cal Look builders love. Kit Includes Two EMPI 40K carburetors (40mm, pre jetted, left and right side specific) Aluminum intake manifolds

The EMPI 40K Deluxe Kadron Carburetor Kit is a faithful reproduction of the original Brazilian Solex/Brosol sidedraft carburetors that earned the Kadron name a cult following in the air-cooled VW community. Smoother and more streetable than a Weber IDF or HPMX, with the period-correct look restoration enthusiasts and Cal-Look builders love.

Kit Includes

  • Two EMPI 40K carburetors (40mm, pre-jetted, left and right side specific)
  • Aluminum intake manifolds
  • EMPI Deluxe Twist Linkage with sealed aircraft Heim rod ends
  • Chrome top air cleaners with high-flow gauze elements
  • Brass fuel tee fitting and fuel line
  • Manifold gaskets and complete mounting hardware

Why Kadron Over IDF / HPMX

Kadron-style carbs are progressive single-barrel sidedrafts — simpler internally than a Weber IDF and easier to tune for street use. They make excellent torque on stock-to-mild 1600cc engines, idle smoothly, and don't require the constant fiddling some Weber owners deal with. The trade-off: they don't have the top-end potential of a 44mm IDF/HPMX for high-rpm performance builds. For street driving, weekend cruising, and resto-cal builds, Kadrons are hard to beat.

Fitment

  • VW Type 1 dual-port engines (1600cc and up)
  • Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Bus (Type 2 with Type 1 conversion), Buggy, Baja
  • Compatible with stock fan shroud (unlike many IDF kits)
  • For 1700-2000cc Bus and Type 4 engines, use EMPI 43-4431 instead

Improvements Over Original Brosol/Solex

  • Extended carburetor base accommodates more air cleaner options including EMPI velocity stacks
  • Brass vent tube prevents flooding on off-road and drag applications
  • Vacuum improvements support single vacuum-advance distributors without affecting idle

Shipping & Box Size

  • Approximate carton: 22 × 16 × 12 inches
  • Approximate weight: 22 lbs
  • Ships UPS/FedEx Ground from California
  • Oversized box — additional handling fees may apply outside the contiguous US
  • Final freight rates calculated at checkout

Installation note: Pre-jetted for typical 1600cc applications. Larger displacement or modified engines may need jetting adjustments. A vacuum-assisted distributor is recommended for best part-throttle response. Use the EMPI Pro-Sync (43-5712-0 or 43-5718-0) for proper carb synchronization.

Great for chewing but very sharp and mangled in a few days
Color: Blue Gator, Size: 1 Count, Color: Blue Gator, Size: 1 Count
I thought this was a fantastic idea having baking soda added for fresh clean teeth while enjoying a new toy. I wanted to review 2 main things about this. First, if my dog enjoyed this toy. That answer would be yes absolutely! She is chewing it as I’m writing this right now. She can spend a good amount of time chewing away on this and it keeps her busy without having to use a rawhide treat which we only try to use if we re going to be gone for longer then 4 hours. The kids love playing fetch with her and she stays engaged the whole time. It is very heavy and when being thrown can become a weapon so I always supervise! Last, the durability of the toy. So it is durable but not completely. As you can see the toy got very sharp where she has been chewing it and I’ve even noticed a little blood on it which means it’s cutting her gums. It wasn’t a large enough amount for me to take it away. It is still almost the exact same size but maybe after a month I will re edit this for more accurate on durability since it’s only been about a week that she has gotten it. Overall, I would recommend this toy it’s a great price and keeps her attention a lot more then other toys I spent twice the amount of money on!

Too Hard
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
I have a pit puppy, 20 lbs, who loves to chew. She's huge for her age, and I wanted to get her a new toy. I bought two different toys, hoping she would like one. The other toy was a hit, they both jumped at it and were excited about it, probably because it had rawhide rings that went with it. This one was immediately thrown to the side, even though my pit loves to chew on non edible toys. I think this one was just too hard, because both her, and my Chihuahua-Jack Russell, weren't interested. It didn't have any smell to attract them, which is why I bought it, because they love peanut butter stuff. I'm not going to go as far as to lick it and taste it... I'm pretty sure it won't taste like peanut butter, either. I feel so bad for my little pittie, she's just sitting here with a sad look on her face because my other dog stole the fun chew toy. I've immediately ordered another of one of those so they both have one, but I've just money wasted on this one. It's probably better they don't like it, I'd be worried about them breaking their teeth. I know it's supposed to be for power chewers, but it has no give whatsoever, just extremely hard, shiny plastic. It's useless, unless you're planning on filing it into a point and making a prison shank. Maybe you can leave it in front of the fridge for your SO to step on in the middle of the night when he goes to steal your almond milk. I'll figure out some way to use it. I did dip it into my boyfriend's peanut butter jar to let my puppy lick it, but I can do that with a spoon. I wanted her to feel like she got something, maybe my other dog will let her have a turn with the fun toy after awhile. That's the only reason I gave it 3 stars. You can dip it in peanut butter and I was being generous.

Can become brittle with sharp edges with use.
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
Our little dog loved chewing this, however after chewing the toy became jagged and brittle with sharp edges that cut into her upper lip which took about 2 weeks to heal. Unfortunately the return window had closed.

Busy bone
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count, Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
My dog loves these!! Great busy bone! And they can hold it with her paws really well. It does kill your foot if you step on it barefoot in the middle of the night. This is a picture of the bone after 7months.
