Subject:Not breathing right
From:Steve Blackham

I'm trying to tune up my freshly rebuilt 2 liter air cooled.  I can't
get it to breath correctly.  I have disconnected the crankcase
breather inlet, and aux air  valve at  the elbow but I still don't
get what I consider good vacumn.  2 #s at idle at the throttle body
and 6-7 #s at the distributor/ air distributor port.  Shouldn't my
idle vacumn be around 10-15 #s?

Any ideas?

Thanks Steve
