That sounds like the tall center mount FI conversion carb that everyone agrees doesn't work well. Your engine problems could just be due to too rich a mixture all the time. You should look for a better alternative. Either a good dual carb installation with the OE style dual carbs, or try to restore the FI. The FI parts CAN be had second hand if you want them, and the price isn't all that different from carbs, but there's a lot to learn about the FI if you want to try to reinstall it on a car unless you're already familiar with it. Either way, there's a chance that you can find someone who has whichever WHOLE setup you want so you can buy a package deal. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
