hello everybody, i began building a buggy from a VW Variant, before taking it appart the engine was running exelently however the body was so rusted up it was not worth keeping it. i have finally gotten the engine in place and connected everything up and i recently started the engine after about 18 months without running is started pretty much immediatly however after about five minutes of runnung the engine would try turning off. you have to pump the gas vigorously to keep it running just. im not much of a mecanic but i think that it is to do with lack of petrol thus by pumping it the injection cuircuit in the carburettor keeps the engine running... any help would be greatly apretiated!! P.S: i had to change the coil for a second hand one.. dont know if that has something to do with it. i also checked the spark plugs and they were quite black with carbon residue. thank you again Stefan
