usually when normal timing..without a.c is good..but then when with a.c must tune a bit higher..i not sure how high ur man tune for u..but for beetle..my friend told me must tune a bit higher..maybe around 5% to 10%(i not sure)..and also if ur engine oil is long long time ago already..u got to change it..it will some how effect the engine temperature and cause to die off slowly..this is wat happend to my car..not sure is the same with ur's or not..

thunder,go get a carb repair kit and it's time to learn DIY!!!

very easy only,u buy then i teach u.

no it's not called hot rod...
it's chopped n dropped.
the red circle thingy u can change in any vw workshop.
i do not know if that affects in timing..
but my guesses are the gas inlet and air inlet screws are screwed up so u both facing the same problem...
if the screw thingy was over screwed,means it making holes in the carb,so sorry,no more medicine would cure the carb....

that thingy..i screw will effect the timing..make ur car mati engine often..also the screw is nothing..the hole i screw this thingy in got problem..old carbs always have this problem..the thread will gone then the side will crack and say bye bye to the carb..so i'm looking for any super duper glue to see can fix this problem or not..cause that hole will leak some petrol out..so i got to get those glue that are good along with petrol..

Thunder05

if the screw is lose and u tighten it and still loose again..u go apply a few layers of those white tape..(those ppl use for sealing leaking hose..)then screw it back..then can already..but make sure u don't cover a smally tiny hole in that "thingy"..if u cover that..the timing will gone..for new model of carb..i think the "thingy" is not hole..is spring type wan..

petrol leak out?
say bye bye to your carb.

not really leak out lar..just a few drip drip drip lar.. my old crab more worst..got 1 part will leak out wan leh..can see with naked eye that the petrol is leaking out..that's y i change a new carb..

guys...
if petrol is dripping out,please becareful,try and send to repair asap..
alot of beetle got burnt becaz of the same issue,petrol drip out from carb and initially touches the distributor or coil therefore making sparks and burnt.

askar..actually all carbs will leak some petrol out..depend how serious is it..even my new carb..when i do some cleaing at my engine area..i notice at the back of my carb will have those thick yellowish stain..when i smell it..it smells like petrol..

no no...
vaporised n leak are big different...
if u "see" or felt the surface of the carb is "wet" or "cold" it's normal.
if u practically sees a drop of petrol it's not normal...
even so my carb only has vaporised at right side facing the altrernator n very minimum.

oh..haha..mistaken the veporised and dripping..
mine abit okok lor..how minimum is ur minimum??u using which type of filter??

normal plastic type filter lo...
inside my petrol pump also got filter wan
my minimum ah...
can see wet mark but when touch it's dry...
how to explain leh..
like u put a drop of petrol on bare metal,it will spread very quickly to all over the surface,and u can see it is wet,but when u touch there's nothing.even if u put fire on it(the metal not the carb) also it wont burn lo..

haha..the filter i mean is air filter..sry..didn't say it clear clear..

cheh...
mine is AS engine,so it's an original FI engine's air filter.
big big bazooka filter they call it

i think is using paper wan rite??not oil type rite??
