Fri Nov 21, 2008 3:31 pm

I'm going to hopefully buy a squareback tomorrow
It is having problems with the Carbs i think
Owner told me a few months ago when he drove it about 10-15 miles.
It would potter along at 60 then if i came apon a hill it would drop to 30 mph ie very down on power
This was after getting the ignition system overhauled (he couldn't afford any more work)

I'm ignorant to type 3 engines but fairly well up on type 1's
I'm wondering if a carb and inletmanifold from a 1600 type one would fit on it to get it home
I have to drive over 150 miles
