<x-charset iso-8859-1>Change the plugs. I will try that. The carb conversion is straight forward. The later 64-66 T3 and 34 came with duel carb single port engines. First find a oem carb set up, not all that easy. When you do its a bolt on and adjustment issue. OR you can go with the ugly webber conversion.); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Buckley" <orectory@fox.nstn.ca> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 6:49 AM Subject: [T3] Hesitation > > > subject: [T3] Hesitation > > > Yesterday I was speaking to a former VW Tech. and we discussed the hesitation of the early (1962 models) single carb. engines.

I would not have considered the problem to be plugs back in 1961 , but perhaps this is so. Also there were not platinum plugs available > at that time, as far as I know. I know VW went to a lot of trouble installing new bell cranks, and acceleration pumps, etc. to the carb. and nothing worked.
