Stalled! My 1981 air-cooled Vanagon has been stalling regularly since I got it out of winter storage. Stalling occurs as I decelerate and engage the clutch, either in preparation for a turn or a stop, and the engine drops to idle speed. Then she dies. This only occurs after the engine has warmed up, about 10 minutes into driving. Then it occurs pretty consistently. Overall, the performance was a little lackluster after sitting ina cold barn all winter, so I have run through a tank of gas and added Techron to clean out whatever gunk may be hanging around. However, I doubt these things are all at all related to my stalling problem. I have searched the Type 2 archives and will perform a Vanagon archives search as well, but time is of the essence. So, any ideas or help, please respond to me directly as well as to the list. I need to get on the road! Thanks! legacy@javanet.com Melissa Mourkas Haydenville, MA 81 Westy 'Hildie'
