I think you're supposed to tighten down the diaphram while the pushrod is in the MIDDLE of its stroke. That minimizes the stress on the diaphram as it moves equally above and below the point where it was fastened. I'll have to check my manuals to verify this. I'm pretty sure they give the max and min as well as the setting height. Those figures were the same for ALL air cooled VWs, weren't they, Russ? Living in FI land, I just never paid any attention to this. Just another annoying complication of carbs. ;-) -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
