Das beetle yah
I've been working on this car for a few days now, the women asked me to figure out what was wrong because the car won't idle and she had some "mechanics" work on it a few months back but according to her they made things worse, and charged her allot of money.
The car fires up but only if the choke is engaged all the way, and no matter how long it runs for if the choke isn't engaged the whole way, it dies rout.
The women said the prior "mechanics" rebuilt the carb, when i pulled the carb apart i knew something was way wrong because the used RTV to put it back together instead of gaskets, it was a ****ing mess. I honestly expected that to fix the problem but after a thorough cleaning and rebuild, it made no difference at all.
I haven't put a vacuum gauge on it yet, or a timing light to see if maybe its out of time. Can anybody with experience with these engines chime in? I'm stumped.
I believe its the 1.9L FYI
