Hey everyone, please excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject, but I have a question regarding air / fuel mixture adjustment on my 71 1.7 with stock D-jet. I posted this question on Facebook but wanted to try here as well.
Back story: my car will only idle and drive when both vacuum lines are disconnected from the distributor. When connected (I used a diagram found on 914world so I know they aren't flipped) the car barely idles when cold or warm, and it is almost undriveable; it surges, bucks, and hesitates. If I remove both vacuum lines from the distributor it idles and runs great. From what I understand from the replies on FaceBook, this could be an air/fuel mixture issue, but how is that adjusted with for the 71? Is there a certain procedure for this? Thanks in Advance for any assistance you can provide! For those going to PA for the Northeast gathering, I'm looking forward to meeting you! |

Thank you for the assistance everyone, I certainly appreciate it! I can repair and replace parts with no problem, but diagnosing problems is definitely my weakness.
