Hello VW fans glad I found this forum, I have a 74 super beetle starts up then stalls out unless I give it gas, it's only on its 2nd oil change since the new motor, when in gear it will not go unless I got it reved up pretty good. Anyone got an idea or two of what may be the problem ? Thanks

 

This doesn't help answer your question, but my 68 is doing the same thing. For me it seems that the automatic choke is not holding the accelerator. I had my friend press the gas while i went to the back of the car and manually put the choke down and let the accelerator rest on it. This worked fine, but obviously I can't do this all the time. If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this idle problem it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike
