Subject:      82 won't idle when hot, hard hot start
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

We have an 82 westy, aircooled 2.0L, stock engine. The engine starts fine and idles OK for a few minutes and then the idle slows down and then revs back up and then slows down, until it dies with a hard shutter. I have tried adjusting the idle screw, no change. I have replaced the temp sensor. If I hold the accelerator down to make a fast idle it stays running no problem but this is a PITA as I decelerate to stop at a light. What should I check next.

Thanks,

David Higginbotham 82 Westfalia Silk Hope, NC
