I tried taking them off and doing a continuity check across them. The R side carb heating element had both connections and read 12 ohms.I am not sure what the correct messurement is but at least I had continuity so I connected it and grounded it , turned the Ign key and it worked. However the L one had the heating element broken , and I tried soldering it but it did not work. Steven mentioned earlier today that they were the same on a set 34 mm solex's and CB Performance has them in stock. So I am willing to try this. About where I live, I am I Az, on a Military Base and the closest place I have that resembles a VW shop looks like a Barn next to a Junk Yard, I am not sure I want those Guys working on my Fasty. Chirco is about 45 miles from where I am located and I have not called them yet, I have a 4 day weekend starting tommorow so I probably will go to Tucson and Check them out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Adney" <jadney@vwtype3.org> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 6:33 PM Subject: Re: [T3] Need a pair of 12 Volt Choke plates > On 12 Feb 2004 at 20:57, wfoh8x9 Martinez-Ortiz wrote: > > > I know I already asked and neglected to mention the voltage of the choke > > plates I needed for my 67 Fasty.
