Do you have an outline to sequentially trouble shoot this > condition? Hope you don't mind, but I'm bouncing this back to the type 3 email list because your question is of general interest. I'm gonna assume that you've done all the normal tuneup things: plugs, points, timing, valve lash. You probably haven't checked the fuel pressure, but there's no reason to unless you suspect that it's been altered. You didn't say whether this is a new situation or if this car was new to you and arrived in this condition. Some history would be helpful. The more relevant info you give us the better. Assuming your '69 was running well before it developed this problem, here's your starting point: Get a voltmeter and measure the voltage between ground and the battery + terminal with the engine warmed up after a drive and running at medium rpm. It should be a bit above 14V. Let us know what you find. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
