Re: Start or no start!!

Hi!
This sounds like the common starter-bush-issue(?)

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

OK, I'll probably just confusing with too many questions and details...

Just one question: At wich RPM is the timing meant to be set?

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. This injectionsystem should be bulletproof and very reliable, but, of course, if there's small leaks everywhere nothing works...

Aircooled 2.0 -80 without idle

Hi! My first post here, recently bought a -80 Bus wich is really sound and nice, but I can't get the idling down, it just revs at 1400 with the idling adjustment screw at bottom.
