Can anyone help? > Thanks Rex Trye Tell me a bit about the engine. What size is it? Are there ANY modifications at all to it, namely any ignition (009 or 050 distributor?) or carburetion "upgrades"? Also, have you done a compression check and valve adjustment lately? It's summertime... if you've verified that the preheater tubes work, that should be MORE than sufficient and I tend to think you may be barking up the wrong tree by adding a heater. > P.S. If only all the Kombi's went as well as the type 3's. Oh, yah, I see... brownnosing to us so we like you, eh? Wise guy...
