Get it going faster > and it hits the rpm ceiling at about 3800 (where it had been 4800). > i had a similar problem i resolved a couple of weeks ago. i had a few problems at once, though. i'll tell you what mine were and you can just rule out those you are sure it isn't. most likely: distributor that wasn't advancing enough incorrect timing other stuff: both accel. jets had fallen out, and been shot out of the exhaust at some point. one of the idle cut off valves was bad. leaky carbs. #2 exhaust to header leakage (bolts had come loose). carb linkage (the ones on the side of the carb with the spring) adjustment. to check the distributor, get a dynamic timing light and see how much the advance changes on the pulley when you rev the engine. other listees should be able to give you better techniques and more specifics good luck Dan Hoopes dan@ewed.net '67 Square, "Stanley" Provo, Utah ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
