I am posting this URGENT request for help for a friend: When the engine in his '82 2.0L aircooled camper recently went, he did a trade-in deal for a rebuilt engine with VW and decided to use a brand new Weber 32/36 and replace the old fuel injection. Well, to make a long story short the thing doesn't run well at all. It hesistates/chokes when you give it some gas and has no top end power. He's using a mechanical Bosch distributor (009). The choke works fine at start up although it doesn't really raise the RPM up much beyond what "warm" idle RPM is. This Weber came from a distributor out "west" supposedly familiar with its use on a VW engine such as this but they haven't offered any satisfactory answers. Any ideas? One mechanic thought maybe there was a chamber or channel NOT DRILLED OUT in the Weber at the factory but we find this far fetched. Does anyone have the ideal jet and venturi set #'s for this carb on this engine??? Help!!! He's getting realy fed up with it! Brian Halifax, NS
