Hi all
My 73 1600cc bug isnt running well at all. Its starts from cold ok and ticks over fine for a while- but as soon as i rev it it loses power and dies and is a pain to restart- it usually only restarts again with spraystart sprayed into the carb.
I have put a new fuel tank in, the fuel is clean, changed the condensor, points etc but to no avail. Any ideas?

I think I had the same problem with my Bug, I took it to Hick in York and they told me one valve was burned and did not burn the right amount of petrol , hence it cuts out due to fludding and only restarts when the petrol is gone to normal in that barrel.
I'm not a machenic but take it to a garage if your not sure, thats want I do, try to fix things my self but then changing the things that didn't couse the problem!
hope this helps. Alex.

THINK ALEX IS RIGHT, NOT SURE ABOUT THE VALVE, BUT IT DEF FUEL OVERLOAD, THEN FLOODING ( hence won't restart!) SPRAYING IN THE CARB TAKES TIME.... THE FUEL HAS EVAPORATED BY THEN, SO IT'LL START AGAIN!!!
