Subject:86 digifant running rich solved (probably)
From:Mike Pabst

Hi everybody,
that morning I fueled after having driven just 60 mi yesterday (using the
same nozzle / setting of course)  to see if increasing the afm spring tension
helped - AND IT SEEMED TO !!! Just 3.3 gal instead of the former >4 until the
nozzle switched off. After nearly 7 yrs. and 50 kmi with the above problem
you can imagine how I feel right now - and you can calculate the gas / money
/ environment wasted. The only thing that concerns me now is that I somehow
lost track of the 1 of us who told me the puzzler's solution - could you
please email me directly again ? Since I'm in Vanagon's fatherland I hope I
can do you a favor somehow. Also many thanks to all of you who helped with
their contribution - will never get a car for which no mail list exists
(guess I don't have to mention how many shops / mechanics couldn't help incl.
fatherland Volkswagen and 2 fatherland Bosch).
