I'm trying to sell a 73 Fastback I have. The buyer wanted me to get it e-checked, I was reluctant, but need this car gone. I brought it in this morning and it failed. Which surprised me cause it runs really good.
It is not FI anymore Dual baby Webbers (I-34) on a stock 1600 DP It had high HC at idle, 1223 and 1000 is the limit. Apparently HC are the result of unburned gas. At 2500 rpms it was within the limit, 734 out of 1000. Could this be something simple, syncing the carbs, adjusting the timing, I have nether the time, nor desire to F with this car. Could I just crank up the timing and run some of the e-check additives and maybe squeeze by. Or maybe lean out the carbs a bunch, and which screw would do that? Help I just want to wash my hands of this car. Samson |

QUOTE(Jeffs9146 @ Oct 26 2007, 12:35 PM)  Sell it in California.....Exempt here! Dude, "F" Colorado. It will be on the evilbay if this guy doesn't take it. Cap'n thanks for the advice. I have no desire to spend the time adjusting the valves. If i turn the timing down will that help? I'm not sure what dizzy is on it, no vacuum, and I set it to 31deg BTDC at 3500rpm, what I've heard VWs like. which is staticly 11BTDC at idle. I think stock is like 7degs at idle. The dude is only offering me $900 for a good running solid 73 fasty. I had no idea how much smaller the enthusiest crowd was for T3 than for bugs and Busses, and everything else for that matter. I've had this thing listed for two months and have had like 12 people e-mail, and 2 people come out. When I had my 73 bug listed last year I was getting 4 e-mails a day. |
