Chock? I use a piece of firewood to chock my wheels when I'm jacking up the car. You mean I could also use that chunk of wood to somehow improve my air/fuel mixture? SWEET!!! :-) Muir never taught me that! Give! *retarded, anxious look*
Sort of like your thumb now? :-) Not exactly hooked up, but it's there? :-X Don't laugh! It'll only hurt! ;-)
hey, I'm just glad the thing didn't fall on my dick. my luck, ya know.
It was just probability at work, you know? You have 2 objects. Your thumb, and your dick. Something falls. More likely it will fall onto the larger of the two objects. I hope your thumb gets better soon. :-D
On a T4 2L with stock L-Jetronic FI so intake airflow to all cyls was very close to equal. Cooling air is less to #3 due to the oil cooler. It was a rectangle port exhaust so the exhaust was pretty close to equal on all 4 also. Honing a half a thou off #3 cyl wall made major difference. -BaH OH - BTW, I had the "choke circuit" (Cold start injector) set up to operate by switch at the drivers seat. Helped for passing and those times I absolutely positively needed to go over 100mph!
john, the newbie has quite enough to learn, please don't overwhelm him with more...LOL
look closely for scale yep, shag, that's about the size of it
It was in bad tune.
They have chokes. The parts are in there. Yours just didn't have the linkage caps.
My, My, My,.. Just think,... 1 Newbie asks a simple question and now we have a post that has almost 100 replies to it dealing with everything from the info I needed to full blown chemestry of the gas mixture. The insults were rampent and the results are still debatable .
The one thing I do see is that every VW is different and all need special care for "IT'S" own happiness. It's OK though,.. I've had girlfriends that were exactly the same way. But I am in deed enjoying reading this,...

Awwww Timmy is feeling left out

(I know, it doesn't have the same feel to it, coming from me.. but I tried... )

If all VWs were not alike in important ways there wouldn't be manuals or engineerings, just alchemy.
They leaked, wouldn't start without choking, stumbled badly and smelled bad? My condolences.
My neighbor and his friend spent endless weekends trying to get his truck running, messing with stuff they didn't try to understand. His wife mentioned to mine, "Ya know, I think I'm gonna rename my private parts to 'carburator' so he will fiddle with me all day Sunday."
OUCH
:D

Thumbs up for johnboy :)
hehehehe

i don't care what your opinions are(whether your's and mine diverge is irrellevant), what i do care about is you trying to justify bad advise with them...if it works for you that is fine, however stating it as fact is wrong....period.....if your oval did not care if you used the choke you had problems...possibly a broken choke cable......your 912 did not have a LONG runner as the stock vw does..( i did explain this...you *did* read it? no? if so you did *understand* the reasoning?)...as far as growing up, i will never grow out of calling bullshit when someone posts it...you did...you got called...then you got mad...it happens...and as usual, i don't give a f*ck....get mad, then f*ck off and get glad...but don't spew bullshit here for the real newbies(not to be confused with those "newbies" such as you, that are not new timewise, but new to the proper ways of doing things....you know, armchair mechanics....YOU)
Yes, I'd say we're all witnessing a thread that is close to perfection. All it needs now is something like a link to a delicious snack. Here ya go:
where's = where'd *sigh*
Yes,.. it's a good idea to fix your spelling,.. we talked about spelling errors about 80 posts ago
Ken
"like muir said"......well lets rename him "captian obvious".....he also said to its okay to disconnect the automatic choke, an it's bad practice....so....well as i said in the post dealing with Muir, he *never* wrote a repair manual....a funny toilet room book, maybe....and it is useful when you are done, you can wipe on it...
Dude... let it go.
Jeezus, chris! I just blew half of can of beer through my nose. Thanks for THAT! Captain Obvious... but not back then; ya see you overestimate the intelligence of them hippies back then. Gawd, my nose hurts.
