Subject:Can't get '80 Vanagon to pass emissions
From:Grant Bessom
Date:Fri, 1 Jun 2001 08:43:45 -0400

My 1980 Vanagon did not pass the emissions test.  The test consists of both
idle and 2500 rpm runs.  It was too high on both Carbon Monoxide and the
hydrocarbons.  Any suggestions?  Is there a way to correct/trick it so that
I can drive my Vanagon again?

Peace

Direct reply's/cc's would be appreciated.
