Subject:82 air-cooled eating idle stabilizers
From:Warren Lail

Hi all,

Lars J. (91 Westy, 82 GL) is having problems with his 82.  It seems to go through idle stabilizers.  He can
bypass the idle stabilizer and get it to run, but with it plugged in it is destroying the stabilizer.  I had trouble
once with my 81 Vanagon, but once I replaced the stabilizer the problem went away.  What's killing these
stabilizers?

On behalf of Lars J., thanks.

always sure to be as silent as a mouse when any such was present."
