RE: [T3] Starting a stored VW


Wasn't drained?  Uhg.  Most likely the carbs will need a lot of attention.
Pull the various jets and thoroughly clean them.  Hopefully the fuel hasn't
plugged any passageways.  If you just can't get it to fire (and you ignition
system is okay) then you'll need to tear the carbs apart, thoroughly clean
them and I'd recommend new gaskets.
