IDAs on 1916 (apologies to IDAs. It was the MSDs fault)?

fullnoise · 2011-07-16T09:04:28+00:00

I recently swapped the 44IDFs for 48IDAs on short manifolds. The car goes about the same but is way cooler now (I'm talking style not engine temp). The trouble is it doesn't like to restart. It starts first go when cold. Easy. But when the car has been running for just a minute to a long drive it won't restart. It doesn't even half fire, pop or attempt to start. It's as if there's no spark or as if it's flooded. I have to let it sit for about 3 minutes and then it will start It never did this with the IDFs. The 44IDFs had 36 vents while the IDAs have 37 vents. The 44IDFs required 135 mains the IDAs need 140s. I had 55 idles in both. Maybe the IDAs need 60s? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. CT

Is the numberplate RUBIKS taken?

In case someone wants to learn from my mistakes. Here's one way you can ensure the float bowl is being filled by the needle and seat. You can feel for resistance in the syringe when the valve closes and you can stop lightly pressing the syringe and check the float level.

Stan always tells me that you don't need all the fancey stuff just good old points and a stock vw pump.
It just sounds like the fuel pump and filter now. 😊
