Any way, I have had this puzzling smoking problem on the beetle. It seems if I don't drive it every 3 days or so It'll smoke when I fire it up...
Strange, but with all the other gremlins I had it was low on the priority.
Last night I was looking at the top of my brand new (less than 1K miles) Carbeurator and noticed that it was all discolored and baked on with oil.
Then it hits me, that the Oil bath is leaking over the lip when I park the car on my steep driveway in stead of the nice flat area at my shop. I think that this is why I have no rhyme or reason as to how or when it smokes.
Question?
Do I need to lower the amount of oil in the breather, mine doesn't have an oilstadt line marked, but does have a small lip made into oil resevoir that I thought was the correct place...
Gotta get an owner's manual for my 1972 Beetle.
