Subject:      81 Air-Cooled Vangon Stalling at Warm Idle
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Stalled!  My 1981 air-cooled Vanagon has been stalling regularly since I
got it out of winter storage.  Stalling occurs as I decelerate and engage
the clutch, either in preparation for a turn or a stop, and the engine
drops to idle speed. Then she dies. This only occurs after the engine has
warmed up, about 10 minutes into driving.  Then it occurs pretty
consistently.


Overall, the performance was a little lackluster after sitting ina cold
barn all winter, so I have run through a tank of gas and added Techron to
clean out whatever gunk may be hanging around.  However, I doubt these
things are all at all related to my stalling problem.


I have searched the Type 2 archives and will perform a Vanagon archives
search as well, but time is of the essence.  So, any ideas or help,
please respond to me directly as well as to the list. I need to get on
the road!


Thanks!
