Hello good people
Got a small problem with the kombi - its an 1800, twin solex carbs, single vac dissy with elec ignition...
Seems to hesitate when accelerating, but only in the 'middle' third of the pedal travel - the first bit is smooth, and there's plenty of power in the end, just the bit in between seems lacking which makes normal cruising/ gentle acceleration a bit of a chore.
Valves are checked, timing is spot on (with strobe), carbs have been balanced and mixture re-set (by vw garage), but still got the damn hesitation.
The only thing i noticed was the timing mark (although dead consistent - no jumping), seemed to 'stick' on about 10deg as the revs are increased, and then suddenly jumps to about 20deg before continuing on as expected. Could this be the prob?
I took the dissy apart, vac unit seems to function well with no leaks, checked the shaft and the weights in the bottom and all is free and good... one of the springs seems slightly looser than the other but this looks normal to me (cant see any wear)
Am i barking up the right tree????
Any help appreciated, Sam 😉
