I will check out those sources. <br><br>I took some photos of what is missing on my carbs with a mirror and indeed,<br>where the idle solenoid valve should be, there is a threaded hole. Makes me<br>wonder if it fell out or was simply not installed. If I were to be<br>inspecting it like it was an airplane, it looks to be that there was not one<br>there for a while. The threads are gunked up with grime. No evidence of<br>anything being installed there for a while. Probably one of the reasons they<br>couldn't get it to tune right. Plus, there is no mixture balancing hose<br>installed. Those ports are capped. <br><br>Fortunately for me, Kalifornia has their emissions laws in place for 1975<br>and on for testing. This car can do what it wants. I do need to find that<br>idle solenoid gizmo. The two boxes of randomness that came with the car did<br>not have one. <br><br><br>Matt P<br><br><br><br><br>Sent from my iPad<br><br>> <br>_______________________________________________<br>VWType3.Org mailing list - type3@vwtype3.org<br>http://lists.vwtype3.org/listinfo.cgi/type3-vwtype3.org<br>Contact gregm@vwtype3.org if you need help with the list.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>VWType3.Org mailing list - type3@vwtype3.org<br>http://lists.vwtype3.org/listinfo.cgi/type3-vwtype3.org<br>Contact gregm@vwtype3.org if you need help with the list.<br></body>
