>>I follow the 1965-67 factory workshop manual and I started by resetting the carbs: The idle adjustment screw 0.5 turn in from closed throttle and the mixture screw 1.5 turns out from closed. Note: I _THINK_ that the mixture screws were much further out when I started.<< I think the problem might be in your throttle linkage. If the carbs have been disassembled before the length of the short links between the main linkage and the carbs may have been altered. Also, the right linkage should be adjusted to exactly 342mm between the ball socket centers as a starting point. I had the same symptoms until I readjusted my linkage: one carb wouldn't balance with the other until the throttle was adjusted many turns in. The mixture screws shouldn't have much effect on you idle unless they're way off. Have you read the VW "Look, Listen, Do It Better" carb sync guide? I think it's posted somewhere on VW Planet. If you can't find it I can send you a copy. Scott 62 1500 Ghia 65 1500S Squareback Sedan ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
