Well not so simple as part of the mechanism was bent out of shape and a spring unattached but I worked it out without any input or suggestions on here unless we’re counting sarcasm

Ok thanks guys for your help
Quick update ....started van and to my relief it’s working as it should
So once again thanks for your help

Thanks for a reply Kev you were the only one to offer help, the decline of forums is evident Facebook is the new thing but nothing on there is archived, anyway back to the carb......it as never been quite right on cold start since I bought it 5 years ago little bit of hesitation till warm, I have ta...

When I set high idle on top step of cam the adjuster screw is way of touching,is it a case of adjusting the screw until it just touches ? The tamperproof cap is still on so don’t know if it’s ever been messed with carb is 2e3
Got pics but won’t let me upload

More confused now as the diagrams contradict themselves
Do you set choke flap gap with cam on highest step or set on second step as per both diagrams

Ok I’ve searched wiki and not got a definitive answer
To set choke gap on 2e3 do I remove choke housing ,choke flap white peg at 12 o clock no tension vac adjustment screw pushed forwards towards vac unit ,cam on high step or do I leave choke housing in place while I set it

Could be damp in dizzy or on blue coolant sensor for Ecu try spraying

Thankyou very much ,love this forum people like you are so helpfull On a side note I followed your blog to the letter on the gearbox oil change very helpfull with good pictures I've got an order arriving tomorrow from brickwerks so should hopefully get the carb back together and a few other jobs on ...

Brilliant , thankyou that's exactly what I wanted to know ...so one more question is there two gaskets ie 1 between manifold and bottom of the carb (carb packer ) and 1 between packer and carb body

If that's your carb rebuilds videos on YouTube I've watched watched and watched again ,very very helpfull thankyou but doesn't address the carb to manifold

Thanks for your help
It was hard to distinguish the gasket from the packing plate on the bottom of the carb it was that faded,I sanded it off (I think) but should the actual packer come away from the carb or is it fixed and part of the carb

Should there be a gasket between the manifold and the carb packing plate ,and does the packing plate on the bottom of the carb come of if so how

The blue temp sender on the head does indeed control the fuelling and if faulty is probably telling the ecu engine is in choke mode ,for the cost I would just replace it but only use original part from Vw

Thanks covkid I think it was one of your previous posts I was reading

Mk2 golf only made up to 92 are you sure it's not the agg engine from mk3 and it defo won't be kjet that was replaced by digifant 88 onwards unless it's a 16 valve kr engine from the mk2
