Advance only comes into play above idle, so that should not be your problem. I suppose it could be a mech advance that is sticking and giving too much advance at idle. It's either you idle set too low, or you're just not getting enough power at idle. Either way, a tune up should point you in the right direction. You may also want to check the compression. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
