Just an historical note for the guys running VWs - Back in the "olden" KR days when most of us were running POSA carbs, we would get an occasional hiccup - usually at cruise speed - from the VW. The engine would keep on running, but it did make our hearts also skip a beat. Although there was a lot of speculation, I don't think anyone actually figured out for sure what was causing it, but it reportedly didn't happen with other forms of carburation. Maybe Jim Faughn has had this experience with his POSA setup.
