Hi all had the bus out for a run She ran fantastic but once she got nice n warm she would cut out at lights and junctions so i had to apply throttle to keep the revs up. This i the first proper run shes had since driving back from techenders 130 miles. She runs fine on choke and motorways etc. She just stalls as soon as revs drop. 1600 Type 1 electronic ignition.

Check the power is connected to the idle shutoff solenoid, so it clicks when you turn the ignition on.
Hi all managed to have a go at the bus today Fuel shutoff is working ok clicks when pull wire off. Checked valve gaps all ok Changed spark plugs and ht leads Removed carburettor found a fair bit of muck in float bowl including flakes of orange paint. Cleaned everything with carb cleaner removed jets blew everything thro with compressor. Started her up ticking over on choke as choke goes down the steps gets to 3rd step then cuts out. Restarts easily but as soon as come off accelerator she dies. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Hard to tell because its on choke But now she dies before the choke shuts off. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Does a 1600 engine have the idle solenoid thingy on the carb...? My 2L ran great on choke, but cut out as soon as choke was off when the idle thingy stopped working.
I would undo the big air bypass screw on the carburettor to see if you can get it to idle. Then clean out the carburettor again as you will likely also have the same rust and junk in the fuel pipes that you disturbed when you took the carburettor off to clean it. It can be iterative. Even after fitting new fuel pipes I still managed to block the idle jet with tiny crumbs of new rubber from where I pushed hoses over the fittings in the fuel system.
Will do Mike cheers Its so annoying Also can anyone recommend a carb rebuild kit please as i have a few solex 34 pict 3 carbs so i may try rebuilding on of those. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
@iblaze a good tool to have in your box and cheap too ! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Digital-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Funny enough i ordered one of these the other day hopefully it'll arrive today. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
increase the idle speed? The screw adjustment gives a huge range of potential idle RPM. Mine was stopping at junctions and roundabouts when I got it so set it so high i nearly didn't need to use the accelerator pedal at all! Calmed it down now though.
I was attempting to follow this but as it won't run off choke im stuck. https://m-wikihow-com.cdn.ampprojec...uretor-on-an-Aircooled-Volkswagen-(Vw)-Beetle
