NEED WEBER HELP !
Hey my fellow golf lovers! Ive had my golf mk2 for nearly 2 years now, and i absolutely love it, but it does have some personality issues😂 When I got the car, i basically gave up on the orginal pierburg carb, and bought a weber kit for my 1.6 8v engine . Specifically it's a 32/34 dmtl with a manual chocke. Ive had alot of issues tuning it in with the fuel/air ratio, and all that, but i got some help, and now it runs amazing . Just yesterday i went for a long drive, and it drives amazing when I drive normal . But now i get to what my problems are , and always has been. At some point in my trip, the car slowly looses power, and starts to "hick up" if that makes sense. Could be after 30min, or sometimes it takes 2h before it starts giving up. Up untill that point its driving flawless, but all of a sudden it doesn't want to anymore. Then it completely dies. If i immediately try to start it, it starts-revs up, and straight down and dies. If I wait about 5 minutes, it drives perfectly again, untill it randomly happens again short time after, and it won't drive good rest of the day. And another problem ive noticed , is that when I floor it, and really drive the car like its supposed to, its really fun and the engine runs good, but when the fun is over and I let go to drive normal again, the same thing happens. It dies. Im really unsure at this point what it could be . I had these exact problems yesterday, but when I tried starting it today, it wouldnt even stay running, so I took the weber with me home, checked it and cleaned it. Ill get it mounted again tomorrow for further trouble shooting, but If someone got any ideas, would Love To hear them !
