What does a weber carburetor do on a volkswagen scirocco 1.8 more HP?

The original carburettor in the golf and scirocco was a pierburg. It was a complex and very well engineered device. When it worked it was very efficient and effective but sadly when it didn't, it was very inefficient. Because it was complex and difficult to maintain without special knowledge, most people opted for the webber conversion. The webber is not as efficient but it is simpler and easier to maintain. It will not give you more HP and it will burn more fuel than a well run pierburg but it is a lot more reliable if you don't know how to keep a pierburg.

What causes a stuck float?

hi ya the most common cause of a stuck float in my opinion is wen the carb has had crapy fuel in it {a tank with rust in it} which then has passed into the carb and around the throttle float and as we all know like with the piston in the head when its got crap in for some bizzare reason it will score the bore and pit it well this is the same thing the fine rust that does manage to get through the filter on top of the fuel tap it goes behind the float and scores the inside of the carb where the float sits and slides up and down which iturn makes it stick my suggestion would be eiter buy a new slide and get a fine bit of sand paper an lightly sand the inside where the slide sits and you can also lightly rub down the float but carefully bit by bit and keep puting it in the top of carb where it sits to makesure you dont over do it if your too tight to spend few quid on a new slide lol

Idle on 1985 supra oscilates between 1100 and 2000 what can cause this?

if it has a 22re engine, low coolant could be the culprit. a bad head gasket (which actually also causes low coolant) could be the problem too. This model year Supra came with a 5M-GE engine and the idle hunt is most likely an air intake leak. check for air leaks from the air filter box all the way to the throttle. you need to check all the joints in that air duct. if air is getting pulled into that duct, the map sensor info to the ecu will be wrong and the computer will try to adjust the engine idle. found 5 holes in my air duct and car wouldn't even idle till it was fixed
