About the girlfriend part thanks for the info ;-) Jeff

Forgot to tell that it is a carburetted european model ... not the wife but
the car.

Have a nice day
Michael

Emne: Re: unstable engine when cold

I used to have an unstable girlfriend when cold, but my vans have always
been far more stable when cold then when hot.  Which reminds me of another
girlfriend, but that's different story altogether...

Is it Friday yet?

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: unstable engine when cold

I have a 1983 1.9 waterboxer vanagon.

It is running very unstable when just started.
When it's warm theres no problem it then runs very well.

When the engine has run for around 3 minutes the problem will stop.
I've replaced all sparks and there's no waterproblem (loss of water,
overboiling or so).
Any ideas ???

Best regards
Michael
