The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Thanks for your help.

1300 stock but the distributor is installed 180* bassacwards. Can I simply rotate it 180 or do I need to remove it and reinstall. Thanks for your help.

'66 1300. My 30 PICT-1 does not have one; it appears to have been plugged. Still having the same problem of dying at stoplights; would it help to install an IFCOV???

I have cleaned the carb, idle jet, reconnected and adjucted electric choke... ALL suggestions welcome.

I reconnected q/thing and kinda got the idle back. I think I have a bad heating element in the choke itself, cause it does not close the butterfly much at all. I pulled the choke adjustment instructions from Daves site... we shall see tomorrow what I can do. I appreciate all the help! Thanks, Doug

I should leave well enough alone BUT, i followed the instructions of John Muir and disarmed the choke. Now the problem. It idles great, however, after running at speed for any amount of time, then coming to a stop, the idle drops like a rock and the engine dies. If I can get my foot off the brake in...
