Tuning links and advice.
The_Bronze. - January 21st, 2005 at 08:47 PM

I'm up to tuning me Baja. I think it needs it since it's only running on the two cylingers on the left hand side. Driverside manifold is stone cold even after 3 mins idling.

Anyhow - want to go right over it and get it up to scratch. I'd take it to the mechanic but that's what I did and now it runs worse than before it went. At least the brakes are A1! (I hope).

I found this: http://www.aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles/jetting.htm 

and this:
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Lane/1970/tuneuplinks.html 

on the forum. If you have any other handly links and suggestions I'm willing to listen.

this is the best one by far

Rob (Aussiebug???) use to post here regularly - but he got a job that took him 24/7.
I have emailed him a few times and he answers - just too busy to post.

Hi Rob! - if you are reading

Anyway - he must still be active as he redirected his site a fe months ago

Should talk to whoever and get it "sticky" on the Frequent Questions section

Thanks Barry - I knew there were a few good links around. I did a quick seach and found those two. Thought they would be good together with any others people had to add.

My battery is cactus so I don't think I can go the whole way without replacing that first. Will do the valves today and lube, check the dizzy. Bit of moisture in it unfortunately. These sites are a great read and the tuning of the PICT 34 was a gold mine for me.

Yes I remember Aussiebug - met him once to I think at the Nationals a couple of years ago to I think. Will have a look at th at link. I printed the other two off and stored then in plastic folders as I think there will be a few occasions I can refer back to them.

This is the redirect: http://www.vw-resource.com/ 

Cheers
