Yeah, but the parts I'm refering to aren't clearly labeled, but since we're on the same page, look at part #31, and go straight down to that un-numbered screw. That's what I turned, and I beleive that's Fig 3.16 part #2. Screwing it in pushed on the linkage linked to the cam thing with the notches. The cam rotates down, allowing the arm that attches to the spiral spring to rotate all the way down so the choke flap is free to close. I believe this is the "fast idle cam", fig 3.15 part #2. The right carb responds the same way, but the choke flap is not prevented from closing by the cam at all. > If your flap won't rotate, you may have something assembled wrong, probably > in the choke linkage.

I looked at it breifly as the sun was setting and could've done a bit more research to find those part names. I hope I'm making more sense this time. > Was this a condition that changed recently on its own, or has it been this > way since certain work was done on the engine? This is a recent thing, but it sat for 3 years, and hasn't been driven much since. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Shameless link for search engines: http://listarchive.type3.org ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
