My standard 1600sp engine runs great once the revs rise but has a lumpy tick over and stalls at junctions. After a bit of investigating it turns out to be carb icing.
I've got a crappy pancake filter fitted at the moment which I'd like to replace with an oil bath type with a warm air pipe to stop the icing. Unfortunately the filter stand has been cut off so I was wondering if an original beetle filter would fit directly on top of the carb.
Has anyone done this and if so should I be looking for a filter from a particular year/model bug?
Thanks,
Mark
