Hi,
Just fitted my beetles 1300 TP engine with a set of Weber (spanish not empi) 34ICT Carbs. It runs pretty well but the RHS carb (as you look at the engine) is sticking really badly. It only sticks at idle (throttle almost closed) and is really difficult to push past this and overcome it. The rest of the throttle range is fine, only at tickover it sticks.
The sticking means that when i press the throttle the LHS carb opens way before the right, then finally the right will open when i press harder. Makes it a pig to drive.
Isn't tight at all when the nut on the spindle is removed. only when this is tightened (really really really loosely!) the stickiness starts. The tighter i do the nut, the stickier it gets. The LHS carb has no issues whatsoever!
So, what can i do to fix this? I've removed the carb and have it ready to work on. What can i do? Has anyone else had the same issue?
Thanks for reading,
Max
