Hi, all. I recently got (as a gift -- pesky wife!) a super-duper cool '79 Superbeetle. I'm really psyched, but there are a few things that need attention. While I could take a stab at it, I figured I'd ask the pros on here, first, before getting up to my elbows in grease:
My idle starts out really high (no tach, so I can't say *how* high, but really high). After driving, say, 30 miles, it gets really low -- to the point where I stall out at stop lights. What might I want to tweak?
It smells like gas. I remember beetles smelling a bit like gas, but, with a 2/3 full tank, it still smells a *lot* like gas (inside the car, at least). Where might I look for a leak? Note that I haven't seen any gas on the ground, so it's not a big leak, I don't think.
Thanks!
