I have noticed in my 71 sqb that the clutch will slip sometimes which makes it feel gutless taking off from a stop. -----Original Message----- From: Elroyyy@aol.com [mailto:Elroyyy@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 9:27 PM To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: Re: [T3] Gutless / No torque / No power leaving a stop Thanks, Russ. To answer your queries... >Have you checked the fuel pressure? Yes, 28. >How is the fuel filter? New with recent tune up. >How is the filter screen in the bottom of the gas tank. Tank was checked for sediment (none) and filter replaced upon purchase last fall. >How is the vacuum advance, and the timing. I'm running a 311906205L distributor with the biscuit vacuum and it works fine as does the mechanical advance. Timing is right on. >Does the distributor have a vacuum retard. No. What else could it be? And/or what should I check next? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
