Hi all,
I just got a 1981 vanagon Westy DeLuxe camper & I have
a few questions.

1. On a 900 mile trip I only got about 12 MPG. I
checked the plugs & the Compression & found the plugs
are very Black meaning that the engine is runnibg very
rich I think.
Compression in all 4 cyclinders was low on first crank
but came up to 95 after 3-4 turns.

Only 1 shop here in my area that will work on the VW
fuel injection systems & another one is 50 miles away.
What do you think about getting rid of the original
fuel injection system & installing Weber dual IDF 2
Barrel carbs? How will it affect the power & what
mileage can I expect if I do go with the weber setup.

2. Should all the engine tin be made of metal? The
left rear tin in mine is made of fiberglass. Here is
the link to the tin piece in question:

I guess that is all for now but I will have more
question in the future I bet.
Mike
