I checked this last night as suggested by the "hot to hot rod VW's" book and i understand the top valve is for the choke, on the throttle butterfly there is "2" valves one for eatch barrel, the first or "top" valve opening about 3/4 of the way (its not straight up and down, which i read is what it should be) when the gas pedel is all the way down, the 2nd or "bottom" valve dosent move at all when the gas is pressed, it just stays closed.
