Heyall
My friend's kombi occasionally revs too high in idle -- this would be a carby issue wouldn't it? Sticky butterfly or something?

Thanks

Could be an airleak on the intake.

tell him next time it revs high spray some wd40 around the carbie/carbies and manifold's if the revs drop, there is an airleak there.

My baja had the same thing with my webers, It was a leak that only leaked sometimes. weird.

Good luck
Mick.

Type 4's have an issue with an elbow that goes to the brake booster leaking on the vacuum side

This would cause a lean idle hi rev
