Umm... Hello to all out there. This is my first time on the attempt at sending a message I hope it is correct . I have been reading the \\ is list for a couple of days and quickly came to realize that this list would be most suitable. I am currently an 84 Vanagon owner. I have owned two be usses in the past both air cooled cool cooled. Needless to say I learned a lot about German endineer gineereing ing ring eg ngineering and decided to venture into the more modern version of the bus. When I purchased the 84 It was not running. After spending many hours With Bently and Haynes I finally pinpointed the problem to be a "shorted f " fuel injector. Well Now the van bus runs quite well l, plenty of power and all of poe wer. The only problem now is that it seems to be running a bit rich. The symptomes indicators are smelly exhaust, and a bit of black smoke. This is botherd some tome I am wondering if any one has some suggestions to put forth. Things I have done: All new ignition Checked for vacuum leaks and replaced rotted tubes. Replaced fuel injector (with used one) New pr fuel pressure regulator. Just to name a few. R Thank you Robert Copich
