Hi all- just a few quick questions, regarding aircooled vanagons. I have a chance to pick up an 82 westie cheap(really cheap) how bad are these to work on? Supposedly it had a new motor put in it 4 yrs ago, but the couldnt get it to run right. Owner says mechanic told him something was wrong with the carb(?) Were the aircooleds carborated? I thought it would be a digi-jet! I am going to look at it tomorrow-- Does this sound like something i should mess with? How is parts availability for these?? Thanks for your help brian 83 urabus maybe 82 aircooled??? |
