[T3] Response: Carb Conversion



Hello all!

Thanks for your thoughts on converting to carbs.  It sounds like I should stick
with the FI...not like I was looking forward to dropping the engine again to
install carbs!

I did a little highway driving in the car this past weekend and once it warms up
it is rather smooth (though still surges at idle, and at speed a bit).  I think
I'd just be happy with a little more high speed power...my 74 old SuperBeetle
has scads of power with just the stock carb, and I guess I tend to compare every
other VW I've owned to my "trusty old friend". :-)

BTW, any of you in the Northern VA area (my current location) or NYC area
(moving there at the end of March)?  I thought there was a guy named Mike on
this list who lived in Brooklyn...

Someone mentioned an injector test...how can I check my injectors to see if
they're clogged or leaking?

Also, someone mentioned the "Idiot Guide"...the version I used to have didn't
have anything about the type III, though it was rather old...do the newer
versions have information on diagnosing the D-Jet system?  My friend has a D-Jet
manual from Bosch, though if I were to perform every test in that book I'd be
working on the engine for a month or so and probably wear out my little volt
meter.

Many thanks in advance!
