Hey guys and gals I know this question doesn't pertain to our beloved
vanagons, but since it's in the VW family I thought you might be able to
help. Recently my wife was out driving her '78 Super Beetle Conv. when all
of a sudden it just died. It turns over and there is a definite smell of
gasoline coming from the engine area, but it just won't fire. We towed it
back to the house and let it sit for a day and then tried to start it up
again. It started right up no problem, but died within a few seconds and
then wouldn't start again after that. Any thoughts? My wife is starting to
get antsy ;)
