Check your intake manifold rubber boots. If they are cracked, they can
cause air to leak in and throw off your air & fuel mixture. When they warm
up they will leak more air in.

Slow onset hesitation at speed
Have you tried rebuilding your carburetor?
Also, check your intake manifold rubber boots. If they are cracked, they can
cause air to leak in and throw off your air & fuel mixture.

I know. Even 7 or 5 years ago it was still really hopping. I wonder whether
if the ISP not offering Usenet access is the culprit or if the air-cooled
hobby dropped off that much?

What do you guys use, preferably free? Comcast is getting rid of giganews service. They are basically saying it is outdated and not worth providing the service.

Threaten to tell your local VW club about not working with them if they do
not honor the prior price. If they don't, tell everyone and don't ever use
them.
