Eletrical Problems - Fixed
It seems that the automatic choke was causing the coil to earth out and by connecting the negative of the auto choke to the positive of the coil the
problem was fixed. Go figure!
Thanks everyone who helped out I learnt a lot thru the process. Also taught my 18 year old how to combine swear words better, Oops!
Good to be driving again!

Sorry but there is no negative on the auto choke ,power runs from the coil positive to the spade terminal on the element & it earths out through
the carby body. But glad that you found the problem.

Yes it does have a 2 terminal choke. When I disconnected the coil I took photos of how they were connected and reconnected the same way but it seems
to have caused me some issues. Once disconnected no problem. Am I right in assuming that the bug spray is an after market carby?

I had one years about 10 years ago a mate gave me cos it didnt fit his engine
they dont have much in the way of a progression circuit so theyre either idle or flat bicky which gives a flat spot like jeff mentioned
i chucked mine in the bin, kicking myself now after seeing the stupid prices people pay for them on ebay

Had the baja serviced recently and now have a bloody flat spot big time. It was there before but not that noticeable but is making up for it now. Just
have to run with baja flat out and not be timid. Difficult when I have to back off when passing boys in blue cause the cannons are sooo loud.
Bloody annoying.
If anyone wants to trade for something that i can use with a blower I might be interested!

The Holley Bug-Spray is an interesting carby, which wasn't actually designed for Beetles. It's actually from the Ford Flathead V8! I went to the
Military Vehicles Museum with the VW Club of SA and when seeing some of the Ford trucks close-up, everyone said, "A Holley Bug-Spray!"
Bug-Spray
1934 Ford carburettor. Notice the shape of the fuel bowl, fuel inlet, etc. Same casting.

Pitty I don't have the power of a flathead V8. Very interesting observation andrtainly gets one thinking about potential.

Justa thought but if holley bug spray was originally intended for a v8 maybe it is possible to rejet it for use with a blower. Might even be lucky and
loose the flatspot!
