Hi.....a question from the land of Aloha.....I was outside running the notch,
and was watching the enging run:). I just happened to look to the right rear
of the engine bay and noticed something I hadn't before. Now...this is the
same exact engine the car left germany with in May of '65,(birth cert.
proof),1500cc dual carb, and just had $500 worth of clutch, and major leak
repair done. I noticed that the oil bath aircleaner, on its way back towards
the right rear of the bay, and where the rubber boot attaches to this little
gizmo....part # 341 129 609,
above that it says "MANN" and the little VW symbol below that. When I tweak the
throttle, a little lever pops up, and when I let off, the round weight makes
it fall back down. Thats on the far right side, on the exact opposite side
theres
a little lever held in place by a little notch, and when I popped it out, a
little door on top of the intake opens inward.
Just curious, as to why this is.....
Sorry for the silly question, and being sooo long winded....
Chad
PS- the car was delivered to Paris 2 days after being built, have the french
dealer tag that I found in the glove.
