backfire on coasting? backfire/splutter when you take off?
what distributor you running?
mixture screw adjuster only for when there is zero throttle (ie: idle).
check your timing too. it might be too retarded. You could advance it a little and this helps (be careful though, not too far)
I get condensation under my carburettor, if cold enough i spose it could turn into an ice. Natural with fuel evaporating into a vacuum, it absorbs the
surrounding heat energy (similar process of cooling in an 'evaporator' of an air conditioning system).

Are your heat riser tubes working properly??
That will cause icing if they are blocked

Also make sure the large and small O rings on the adjusting screws are good
it may be sucking air as well

i am running a single vacuum advance distributor with a Pertronix ignitor and matching coil. The backfire is only happening on acceleration although
there is a slight miss on idle.
definately ice on the manifold as i stopped and checked. Are the heat risers able to be cleaned they look like it would be a pain because of the
bends.

The miss on idle is making me think vacuum leak

I did one of mine ages ago
It wasn't so bad, cleared a passage through first with a broken clutch cable in the drill then sat it upside down overnight with filled some sort of
acid the old man got me.
Sorry it was about 12 years ago, can't remember what kind it was.
Next morning flushed it with a garden hose and what was left came out as a black sludgy paste.

be sure there are no splits/cracks in the manifold boots too.
The crazy sensativity to vacuum leaks on these motors is like a red head in the sun. Only takes a little to cause trouble and it gave me plenty of
grief in the past. The 'spray aerosol around the manifold components' trick works well. just listen out for a substantial 'rev up' to know the
aersol is passing through manifold joints and boots to know there is a vacuum breech present at that area. Deoderant works good, smells ok too

It doesn't matter about the brand (well it does) but there are different types of rubber.
most rubber o-rings are not fuel stabilised. It has to be a 'fuel specific' o-ring. Just like injector O-rings, there are made of a special specific
rubber that can handle exposure to fuel without degregation (fuel acts as a solvent).
I learnt the hard way, replaced a pinched injector o-ring with an o-ring (automotive one mind you) from a mixed packet at super cheap, lasted 4 months
before i had to replace again as after following the fuel smell i could see fuel leaking out of the rail from that injector. The rubber just gets
eaten away. So i went to a local fuel injection specialist and got the proper stuff; fuel stabilised rubber o-rings.
Its just like how silicone or gasket maker goop gets dissolved away by fuel. same thing happens to the o-ring. turns sticky and gets eaten away.

Hi
I worked on a twin port 1300 once that had a hole in the inlet manifold going into heat riser, some brain surgeon had fitted a 150 main jet to
compensate, so when you take the manifold off have blow through it, followed by a beer.
The later intake manifolds preheats were larger in diameter and seem to resist blocking a bit more.
Is it a dual vacuum carby, as in a vacuum port facing out the back of the car? What jets are you running?
Your heat riser should sizzle when you lick your finger and touch it after the motor is warmed up.
Steve

I'm not sure if its a dual vacuum carby and do not know what jets are in it. as far as i am aware it is all standard for a 74 beetle.

Tried the deodorant and there was no change to the engine speed. i will take the manifold off now that the car has passed the pink slip and unblock
the heat risers and i will check the timing and replace the manifold gaskets and seals.

blocked heat risers aren't so hard to clean. use a 6mm drill for the first 3 inches and then get a thick wire coat hanger. Cut a 6, 9, 12 inch and
full riser length piece and use a hammer to flatten one end of each into a sharp flat end.
Place each bit in order in a drill and the flatted end will cut the carbon out fairly well. Once you've made a hole you can carry one with the
lengths of wire and make coils of wire or try some pool acid down the hole. That should eat into the carbon pretty well too 
Does sound like an air leak somewhere aswell. Flatten the inlet manifold faces with 180 wet n dry, some wd40 and a flat piece of glass. Do the same to
the inlet manifold face and the bottom of the carb. Check your rubber boots. If still misfiring after new gaskets then either dizzy or carb issue.
madness is in the eye of the beholder  |

I have removed the inlet manifold and it is not blocked. The heat riser outlets on the exhaust are blocked up with rust. I guess thats what happens
when you buy cheap stuff.

I dug the rust out and it turns out the exhaust has not had the holes for the heat risers put in it when it was made but has the flanges on it. I
suppose you get what you pay for. I will have to see if i can make a hole but it is not a straight tube.

The holes in the heat riser flanges are an optional feature.
If you have dual carbies you dont need the holes. If you have a heat riser/single carbie combo you insert a metric hole before installing the
manifold.

I believe you can get electric heaters to go around the manifold for acting like a pre heater when heater risers are either non-existant or the
flanges are not present.
I think i recall Joel talking about em' at one stage many moons ago on here ??

The holes are in the flanges but not in the pipe. I dont think its meant to be like that.
