Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

Well the latest is that now all the components are fixed, I still can't get them to play nicely together.
The dizzy works well and the cars absolutley hauls but it stops revving at 5500. I'm think lean/rich miss-fire now.
So it's dyno time.
I'm booked in for the 24th. The dyno operator sets up Alfa racecars so he knows Dellortos well.
This way I know that the cam timing, ignition timing and carby tune will be optimal.
Can't wait!

If so harass Joe about a dyno day. I spoke to him earlier in the year and he was too busy traveling overseas.

Ummm a dyno is a tuning tool , not a spectator sport (In my opinion at least.). I'm just going to leave the car with them 'till they figure it out.Originally posted by Jarred View PostWhere abouts is this place Pete? I may be free on the 24th, if spectartors/pit crew are allowed
They'll have to do a few runs to sort out the tune issues and may need to organise parts as well.

This is the place, There's not many people that will still look at carbs, especially Dellortos AND have a front wheel drive dyno.Originally posted by Tim View Post

Dropped it off tonight. I expect it'll be there for a few days while they sort it out.
Hopefully they can get all the bits to play nicely together.
Now the waiting..........

got it back yet Pete???
tuning carb's is nearly a lost artComment

Still waiting, I gave them plenty of time for this. I'd be worried if they sent it back after only a couple of hours.Originally posted by ontarv View Post
I figured there would be a fair amount of re-testing and perhaps ordering of carby bits so I made it clear that I didn't need the car back in a hurry.
I'd rather they have the time to do the job thoroughly.
I am curious to drive it when it's all tuned up though!
