Of course the van ran like a dream and didn't miss a single beat. So we couldn't diagnose the problem, but we are pretty sure that the carb freezes. The carb and intake had lots of condensation on them even after a short trip. It also feels very cold. I discovered that the different manifolds out there have different diameter pre heat tubes. My tubes are 20mm but there are also manifolds with 24mm tubes. So I'm switching the 24mm manifold from my recently purchased Type 181 Trekker. I'm also going to change the Bosch blue coil for another one. The coil gets very hot so we don't trust it.</blockquote>
