Have this happen too, well no smoke, and it happens all the time...also "the way it is" Well I think its the same thing, its actually pretty tire some to drive in town. Its almost like there is no change in the fuel from the d-jet system until a higher RPM is reached...perhaps its throttle position though. On mine this is what happens if I open the throttle with my hand. crack the throttle a little, get an increase in rpm due to the accelerator pump action of the TVS, then the engine slows again. crack the throttle a little more, same thing, again same thing, again same thing. It does it while driving as well which is really annoying to drive, at least compared to my bug with carbs. You basically have to WOT the thing if you want smooth acceleraton from a stop. > If I pull the pressure sensor vacuum hose from the intake air > distributor, the hunting goes away and the she idles close to 1000 rpm, > but there's still white smoke.
