Subject: hello
Umm... Hello to all out there. This is my first time on the attempt at sending
a message I hope it is correct . I have been reading the \\ is list for a couple of days
and quickly came to realize that this list would be most suitable.
I am currently an 84 Vanagon owner. I have owned two be usses in the
past both air cooled cool cooled. Needless to say I learned a lot about
German endineer gineereing ing ring eg ngineering and decided to venture into the more modern
version of the bus.
When I purchased the 84 It was not running. After spending
many hours With Bently and Haynes I finally pinpointed the problem
to be a "shorted f " fuel injector. Well Now the van bus runs quite well l, plenty
of power and all of poe wer. The only problem now is that it seems to be running a bit rich.
The symptomes indicators are smelly exhaust, and a bit of black smoke. This is botherd some tome I am wondering if any one has some suggestions to put forth.
Things I have done:
All new ignition
Checked for vacuum leaks and replaced rotted tubes.
Replaced fuel injector (with used one)
New pr fuel pressure regulator.
Just to name a few.
R Thank you
Robert Copich
