[QUOTE="milfredo, post: 635993, member: 32628"] Short story... Got van back on the road and could never get it to idle once warm. I spent days and days on it and eventually gave up and bought a new carb. Problem was sorted and the van was amazing all of the year. I've rolled it out this year, checked valve gaps, ignition (found some loose plugs and changed HT leads), set timing to 30 dogs BTDC @ 3000 amp, vac off and plugged. Engine runs nice and smooth on the drive and nicely out onto the road but has soon as you come off the throttle approaching a junction, it just cuts out, almost immediately. I guess I need the carb out to clean it but this seems so temperamental. I've never had this issue in any other of my VW's. Total PITA! Any tips? [/QUOTE]
