Hello All,
It Idles!! I have power too, it runs as good now as it did before the oil leak problems. but not quite as good as it did when I got it, but it does sound better than it ever has. it will still get up to around 70mph though :-) (I should actualy put the deck-lid/licence plate back before I drive it too much...hehehehe)
I adjusted my valves yesterday, there was no clearence on any of them. I put them at 0.006in. I'm going to re-check the timming this week, then check the valves again after 100 miles or so. I'll be putting electronic ignition in it with a new svda dizzy next month(along with new coil,plug wires etc.). I'll also be getting studded tires for it, and some kind of heater :-), which brings me to a question:
Has anyone ever put an electric oil pan/block heater on a beetle?? I'd like to have it for when the temp this winter drops to -30F through -50F.
