I have just bought a 1.3 Mk2 Jetta which has a lumpy idle, when i start it it feels like its about to stall, on idle it vibrates a bit, then when i set off i have to rev a lot so it doesnt stall. How can i improve this? Should i just go straight to buying a Weber carb?!
webers really do improve the running/starting if the pooburg is past its best maybe have a look at the rubber carb mount..see if its leaking air
Timing,emisions that why you can then check for leaks if its way too high from the norm carb cleaner sprayed round the inlet with the cover on will show of any air being drawn in showing raised revs if there are splits
Personally, I'd go for squirting carb cleaner all over the top surface, and down the barrels of the carb. It's good stuff, but don't get it in your eyes!
Thanks for the advice, im not sure how to do that but will start with the carb cleaner. Its embarassing when your in a queue of traffic and it stalls all the time. I think its a mixture of having a really stiff accelerator and a crappy pooberg that make it not want to set off!
