I got a 72 super beetle and when ever it gets warm and i turn it off and then turn it back on i have to put the gas pedal to the floor and i smell gas. so I figure it floods. I tryed adjusting the fuel mixture but nothing, still floods. ????

Check your carb. It may be leaking. May need a rebuild in the carb.

Check float and needle/seat in carb.

Is your gas tank vented properly?
If your evap. sys. is missing or bypassed it can pressurize the tank sometimes if done wrong.
Hope this helps.

So, what is the proper way to vent the gas tank?
