I had forgotten that that relay was shown in one of the Bentley diagrams. I think I MAY have seen exactly one of those 68-9 cars with that early CSV system on it, and that one may have been in a junkyard. As you said, most of the 68-9 cars came without it. My '68, which didn't have the CSV, still had a cold weather flooding problem. I got around that by unplugging the fuel pump relay until the engine fired a couple times, then quickly plugging it back in. That required a lot of 2 hands plus 1 foot coordination. The REAL fix was to replace the early A brain with a B. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
