Early this morning I cruised down the coast until I spotted their van
at South Carlsbad State Beach. We talked for a while and then he limped
it behind me to a laundromat in Oceanside so they could do some wash. I
drove him to a nearby VW store/shop that fortunately had the shifter
parts and was open at 8 am.  We returned and replaced the shifter parts
in an empty lot across from the laundromat. We fiddled some with the
stock dual carbs but to little effect and I had to leave. I think he is
back on the road but wanting to deal further with the carbs and muffler
before entering Baja.
