In honor of my brother Xevin over in the Bay forum, dinking around with your Type 3 and enjoying a cold one.
For this pi that I took to roll this thread out.... I had been fussing with the freshly installed motor. I couldnt get the dang thing to idle and or run right. It was banging and bucking. Sounded like a rod was coming through the case. I was at my wit's end as Id done it lots of times before, and set it all to factory spec.
It needed to get done as Im moving to San Diego at months end. This needed to be drivable to get on a car hauler trailer. It was stressing me out!
So on a whim, I replaced the idle jets with electromagnetic jets. Turn the key and shes racing off at high RPM. I twist it all back and she purrrrssss like a kitten
I guess the other ones were bad. So to celebrate this accomplishment and to salute my brothers both in the PNW and SoCal - I had a beer and chilled the F out.
What do you have going on and what beer do you drink - as my brother Xevin would ask??

I'm having the opposite issue - my car will start up but idle slowly, then die. I hadn't thought to try swapping out the cut-off jets for straight jets, maybe I'll give that a try. Thanks.
To stay on topic - I usually drink Hamm's. _________________ 1988 Ford Festiva L

I love an oat soda while working on the Square.
The other day, dealing with the pedals:
On the floor there is my can of Forever Simcoe, one of my favorite brews from one of my favorite breweries that also happens to be one of the best in the country and is conveniently located just down the street: Other Half Brewing. _________________ 1965 Volkswagen 1500 Variant S
