Hi all.. New to the forums, and VW's .. I got given this car as it had a suspected blown head gasket. Turns out it was the actual head was eaten away from the coolant! I got it welded and skimmed and now she fires on all 4 and above 2K rpm is fine, but idle and off idle power is terrible. PICS:
The car (NOT A GT) --
Damaged head --
After Head work--
Engine Bay after putting head back--
I obviously removed all lines from the carb to the rest of the car and like an idiot forgot to label/photo them. I THINK i got them back where they should be but would like to double check before i start ripping the carb apart.. It ran fine before removing the head apart from the misfire on 1 cylinder.
it has a Pierburg 1B carb on it. does anyone have a photos of vacuum lines in a similar car or a diagram? My haynes is for Fuel injection only so its useless!
Many thanks in advance!
