Had something bugging me for while. The Beetle is new game for me, not had anything carb related since my 1st car but i am loving the relearning of everything. Always thought it was a bit weak for 1700cc and 700kg. Been niggling for a while and it would not go away.

Old exhaust was a 4 into 2 into 1 into 2 straight through and that went south about a month ago in spectacular style that even the traffic cops were impressed. Fitted a new stainless 2 into 1 with each bank being seperate, wanted to check the fuelling was at least adequate on each bank so bought a gas analyser and stuck it up the bum of the patient. N/S was 0.2%, thought the machine as broke and recalibrated and again it was the same. Tried the O/S bank and it was 2.9% (Air-cooled VW like 3% to help cool the piston crowns). Got the balance tool out and both were drawing equal, checked compression and all within 5% of each other. Concluded that N/S bank was getting very little fuel and the car had basically been a 2 cylinder 850cc

Done a hard reset on both carbs and now both carbs are 3% but HC is high on the N/S at 1000ppm and 500 od on the O/S, gonna add a SVDA dizzy soon and see if that helps and if not i will add another degree and run it on 97 RON

Took the car out a test drive and it now feels like a 700kg 1700cc car. Very little throttle gets it moving compared with previous mash it and ride it like a mad man. Cruises lovely at 60 mph on light throttlke where rpeviuos it was mash it like a mad man and it would die at the slightest hill

In other news i also bought a cheap ass welder and moved the lights, not welded in nr 30 years but well chuffed. I am thinking the new light/number plate combo works for me better than on the exh. Looking fwd to fabricating some stuff for the car as my confidence grows again

Flat out, well flat out before the sketchiness requires sedation rather than big balls

Turns out Herbie can still do hills which is a bonus living in Scotland
