It's your accelerator pump. Make sure the tube is pointed in the middle of the carb throat and not touching the wall. Make sure fuel is not seeping out of the pump on the side where you replaced the diaphram. Make sure the little tube is not clogged and that it is tight in there. There is an ...

Yeah, there is something....just go stock, Glenn.

Glenn, just go stock.

Have you thought about hitting the primer with oven cleaner and 000 steal wool to see what's left of the original paint on the door?

Don't know how bad it was scratched up when it flipped, but it would be fun to see.

The door was replaced with a green one under the primer so it needs to be re ...

So I have been driving the hell out of my bus since September and have put over 2300 miles on it. Most recently I took a trip up to Buffalo, NY with my three brothers. We did about 1100 miles in the 3 day trip with only 1 minor breakdown. Luckily I had lots of tools and parts with me so we were back ...

Awesome! Congratulations.

nice!

Interior is so nice...

whats the story with the roof dents?
It slid on the road for a couple of hundred feet She didn't get cut off, the wind blew her over ... maybe several feet. The only way a VW could slide that long is if it's being towed!!

I have a plastic one you can have.
This is what DVG is all about.

thanks Jim, I'll take the offer. I have to order the seals that go under the front hood handle, do I need to order any clips or other hardware to use with the plastic glove box?
You shouldn't have to order any new clips unless ...

I have a plastic one you can have. Just don't cut that cable or white tube on yours because you may need to re-use it.

This is great and could only help to grow our club even bigger that it has already gotten in such a short time.

You can put any VW key that fits in the cylinder and the grind off the tabs that still stick up and that key will now work for that cylinder. I've done it when I had door handles that didn't match the ignition and lost the keys for them.

Congrats Mike...I love it...thats my favorite color for those.
