Stock carb setup? How are the electromagnetic cut-off jets?

German Krew Wed Nov 19, 2008 3:02 pm

stock carbs no cut off jets. but did work fine two months ago.

KTPhil Wed Nov 19, 2008 3:10 pm

The cutoff jets were put there to stop dieseling. Put them back.

In the meantime, stop the motor by puttung it in high gear with the footbrake firmly pressed.

VW wired the car for them in '67. If you didn't take them off, someone else did.

I guess there not stock carbs there 34 icts which I don't think it doesn't have any.

Back your timing off a couple degrees. You are running hot spots in the cylinders. Or, you might go to a colder spark plug.
Did you change spark plugs BTW??
If you went to the platinum Bosch plugs, they may diesel.
