Yea I know, I don't get all this carb stuff :-) But I DID take the Vader course on Carb setup and that helped quite a bit, I think there is just something obvious that Im missing or don't have quite right, The carb guys will know! Yea... Piglet always seemed to work properly, so I never really looked at it carefully to see how it SHOULD be set up. The Crate is fairly Virgin, but I have rebuilt it all since.

Its a carb..silly. Not a fuel injection rail.. jeesh I think it needs to be adjusted slightly, as my 67 never has done this, and you know I dont have a lite foot. :) piglet ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Park" <topnotch@nycap.rr.com> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 8:11 PM Subject: [T3] Stock Carb linkage > Ive got a question about the stock DUAL Solex setup, > I had this problem with the Notch and finally noodled it out but the Crate > setup which is complete with the original springs has the same issue.
