G'day all. I feel dumb. as per usual, I'm at a loss, and find no help in any of the manuals. So here's my simpleton-newbie-type question, relating to my wife's 69 square, AT, stock-appearing dual Solex's (converted by PO)... I notice that, when peering down the carburetor throats, the 2 don't look the same. The lefthand one has 2 metal tubes that angle down into the throat, one of which gives a visible squirt of fuel when you push the throttle down. The righthand one has only one tube - and no visible squirt. LH carb is fitted with an electric bypass/pilot jet cutoff thingy, connected to the coil. RH one is not thus equipped. Are these 2 features at all related? Is it an asymmetrical design, a hapahazard carb conversion, or has the car swallowed a couple inches of brass tubing? If the last, what am I up against? It was running... I only noticed the difference when I took the air cleaner off for cleaning/oil change. But now I'm hesitant to even try to start it, for fear there's a chunk of metal bouncing around in there somewhere. any words of advice, encouragement, or admonishment are most welcome. --timmy '72 square '69 square Jax, FL ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
