They were VERY rich at first; . . . Further to my previous message. I was in Jerusalem today and went to speak to someone called Anatoly who runs a garage that specialises in VWs. He is extremely knowledgable, and I would say that his is the only garage in my part of the country that I would trust to work on my car. He often turns up at our club meetings in his 1969 bus. Anyway, I explained my problem to him and he actually suggested the above solution without me mentioning it, as more likely than a leak in the carbs or the fuel pump. It was his first suggestion, and he considers it far more likely than any leak. What do you think?
