Geting back to vanagon stuff.....

I lost the message asking about how much acceleration to expect from an
air cooled engine. I timed my van this AM, and after the tire was done
smoking, and finally hooked up to the asphalt, I was able to go from 0 to
60 in just under 30 secs. I was surprised at this, because I never thought
much about it, and seldom ever 'stand on it' in the first place.

When you drive a slow vehicle, you just learn to actually drive, and pay
attention to when you need to start accelerating, because there is nothing
to spare if you make an error in judgement :)

I also noted that from I got to 50 pretty quick, but those last 10mph
seemed to take forever.

I hope whomever posted the original comment is able to find his problem.
60 seconds seems like too long a time to me. If its not on the intake
side, maybe the cat is plugging up?
