Hi!
This sounds like the common starter-bush-issue(?)
Typical when starts great at cold, but some miles away, engine hot & the starter turns the engine slowly.
Does the starter turns the engine rapidly when cold and then slowly when warmed up?

Re: Aircooled 2.0 -80 without idle
Yes, I think there was a little nut at the side, locked with some yellow paint. Is it some sort of adjustment-gizmo?

Re: Aircooled 2.0 -80 without idle
Thanks! :D I've been struggling about with the auxiliary air regulator. Bentley book says that the two terminals at regulator shall read 30 ohms. Mine does to. To check that it closes at warm engine one shall blow through it. It is still possible to blow a little through it when warm, it doesn't blo...

Re: Aircooled 2.0 -80 without idle
Ah, forgot, I have the Bosch injection, think it is L-jetronic. The carbu-variants where never sold here in sweden. :oops: I don't have the hall-sender, just ordinary points.
