I have spent a couple of days adjusting the carbs to the best of my ability but the car still hesitates (as if too much petrol goes in - it seems to run rich) when depressing the accelerator quickly. I have no problems on uphills because I drive my notch with a light foot (I accelerate moderately rather than suddenly) but if I was to press the accelerator quickly it will hesitate. My VR is still clicking away (I haven't measured the voltage) mostly only at high revs and not continuosly (i.e. It goes for a bout 2 - 3 minutes and then tt stops. Then it starts again after 5 minutes or so) Petri '71 Notch ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
