Ha! I’ve asked him if he could check behind me when he’s back in town.
I ruined some Vintage Speed air filters tonight by cutting 1/2” out of them to clear the springs. Right side could use another 1/8” out of it, but otherwise they seem to work. #hack
and you didn’t even need the bald one to help you
I was guiding him transcendentally.
I did have The Bald One helping me. Cookie I have a little VW altar in my garage that I pray/meditate in front of whenever I get stumped. Answers usually come quickly when you light some incense, put on some of Plane Jane’s greatest hits, and focus your VW question towards this little statue of Scott I bought on the internet:
Thanks John, great suggestions. I’m going to try wires first since they seem to get suspect reviews, then plugs, then coil, etc. I have a couple extra coils and a rebuilt 009 (edit – actually I’m going to try the condenser and coil first – the symptoms fit those two being faulty).
I pulled all of the jets today, took apart and cleaned thoroughly with carb cleaner. Also cleaned carb tops and inside of filter housings well, and ordered some K&N’s to use behind the wire mesh rather than the foam. Then put heat shrink tubing on the harness and cleaned it up; when extending the harness I sourced OG wires so the colors match up the wiring diagram. Put the green dizzy-to-coil ground in the harness to keep things clean….I like it.
Lost the throttle cable barrel nut into the abyss to will have to test drive it later. ☹️ It idles and revs nicely FWIW.
Pictures just because:
