It is very possible that you guys are right, but how come this does not show in any of the books I have (Bentley, Hayes, Muir, Scientific 47)? Does anyone have a drawing/diagram of parts for stock solex carbs? Does this jet sit inside of the float chamber? From what I understood from you it does, and attaches to the top of the carb cover vertically into the float chamber. Correct? Regards, Petri 71 Notch PS mail list oddity when replying. I have a feeling that I know why is it that for some people when clicking reply only their address is there, while others the type3 mailing list address comes up. Some mail programs (like Netscape Mail, Eudora, etc) have an ability to set a "return address" while other not. Could this be the reason? Those with a return address will cause their address to appear when "reply" is pressed, while the others won't. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
