I recently purchased a 72' Beetle. After driving the vehicle for about 10 minutes the idle becomes rough and the car dies if I don't continually tap the accelerator. Also, the electric fuel pump vibrates extremely heavily every so often. (lack of fuel?)
I've checked the spark plugs, replaced the condenser and distributor points, and the carburetor looks brand new. When I take the fuel line off the carburetor the fuel pump appears to be pumping an adequate flow of gasoline without blockage or any visible dirt or other gunk. The local shop recommended that I remove the gas tank and look for any debris or anything else that might be causing blockage. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks Jason
