Yes, I am here again due to an unsuccessful life with my bug's hesitations. Now, to describe the simptoms again (using another man's template, as his simptoms are/were equal to mine):
Bug runs horrible until engine warms up. Once it has been driven 10-15 minutes, runs better. Before warmed up misses/hesitates when under any load, but with no load it runs and revs great. Can be driven if you really keep your foot out of it, but this is difficult as "keeping your foot out of it" implies barely enough power to accelerate at all when upshifting. Mostly a problem at lower rpm ranges, right after an upshift. Once warmed up, runs ALMOST ok. Oh, and the engine keeps dying for the first 2-3 minutes or so at idle.
The car:
1972 VW 1300, engine AB. Stock distributor, stock carburetor, stock air filter (oil).Now to what I have already tried to fix the problem:
- engine recently rebuilt
- new spark plugs
- new coil
- new coil cables
- new distrib. rotor
- new distrib. cap
- set up valves
- timing
- new points + condensor
- adjust idle (carb)
- pulling the accelerator level results in a clean and nice stream of gasoline through the pipe into the throat of the carb (have set it up to flow right between the choke valve and carb body). Some say it should point on the valve, so the fuel can be easily atomized, but I haven't tried that.
That's all I can think of right now. Any suggestion would be REEEEALLLY appreciated.
