yesterday i moved all my VW stuff to my new house and i was surprised as to how much stuff is left to go on to my 1303 and thing,... as soon as i can make some room in the driveway i'm goig to bring the cars over too and get to work.
on another note, i used to have to drop fuel into the carb (from the top) of my 1303 if i didn't start her for a few days, but around 2 months ago i got stranded on the side of the road and decided to get to work on the carb. Armed with only a screwdriver and a few other useless little bits i got the 1303 running again. Anyhow, on sunday i went to the farm to visit the 1303 and after 2 months of standing she started on the 5th or 6th crank (fuel lines were dry),... i'm so proud of myself as i was starting to get really annoyed having to always carry fuel around. now those days seem to be behind me.
problem was that my float had been stuck in the up position,... such a simple issue, such a simple fix (stuck mmy hand on the carb throat during idel which filled the bowl and loosened the float. Now the throttle is smooth(er) but the jets need to be changed if i want smooth throttle progression. This time i'm going to be more adventurous and will swap over the 31PICT to the required 34PICT (my car was a 1300DP, but is now a 1600DP). first i need ot rebuild her and ensure the insides are clean,... any suggestions on cleaning the inside of the carb? khalid ustaad uses "sweep" (bathroom cleaning acid).
@Xulfiqar
i'm sure you have a great suggestion on how to rebuild a carb. any imput from you would be like drops of gold.
