Gunk on Outside of Carb?

Jun 25, 2010 1 Replies

I'm just starting up my 67 Beetle after a long winter's nap. The car starts fine, runs for about five minutes, and dies. Can't keep her running after warmup.



I notice a lot of reddish-brown gunk on the outside of the carb (30/31) where the gasket is. Does this mean it is leaking gas?



Also have one or two cracked vacuum plugs on the carb that I need to deal with. Where can I get replacements?



Thanks, Susan


Don't worry about the gunk, but get those vac. lines fixed. What do those 'plugs' look like?
