Maybe this belongs in NFC, but I'm looking for help from knowledgeable Fiat guys.
As a favor for my wife's horse vet, I'm working on his 1963 Volkswagen beetle.
His "mechanics" haven't been able to get it running for several years of trying.
My remaining issue is a slight hesitation just as the throttle is advanced.
Since I got the engine running I've rebuilt the carburetor and cured an air leak at the carb base. The engine starts and idles fine.
Am I just too used to my own weber carb applications where I get immediate satisfaction? Barring lawn mowers, I haven't work on a single barrel anything since the '70s.
I see Jeff Stitch has these carbs for sale occasionally, so I'm thinking some of you guys might be able to set me straight.
