Hey guys,
I have a friend who a few months ago purchased a very clean 70,000
mile 73 super beetle from an original owner a few months ago. The car
had just been serviced bya local shop to pass our local emissions
testing(Aircare or as I like to call it airscare!).
Soon after she purchased it it
Check the idle solenoid on the carb it should click when the key is turned to
the run position id not that is your starting and idle problem
Also if u can get an original dist with vacuum advance the engine will run
great through all rpm ranges. 009 in my opinion are bad news especially when
009 does not play well with a 34 pict-3 carb. You need a 034 distributor
that is single vacuum and mechanical commonly called a SVDA for single
vacuum dual advance.

That is the classic 009 dizzy/34pict stall and bog off idle syndrome. Get a
vacuum advance dizzy, and all the troubles will be gone. Do a search for
this and you'll see it's a real problem. Go to aircooled.net and there is a
good article on it. I have the proper setup specs to tune the 34pict
Kirin,
Absolutely agree with Bill, 009's are crap for stockish engines...mostly
for lots of others as well.
It doesn't matter if the carb is stock or modified...better performance
and better gas mileage with an svda in 99% of the stuff I have ever worked
with(40 + years)...as long as you
Bert,
Heated seats?
LOL! best I could think of.

You guys seem quick to fault the 009 dizzy for all of these bad
behaviors. It IS the cause of driveability and acceleration issues when
teamed up with a 34 PICT carb. But there's no way it can be causing all
of the issues Kirin's mentioned. Yes, they don't play well, but it
appears that
Mike,
Agreedbut any competent VW guy(Kirin probably qualifies) is going to
recheck all of those things any way.
As an example, I checked mechanical advance curves of the 009 against the
mechanical curve part of some late model svda's and chose to install a
crippled(no vacuum advance)
I have a stock 1600 dp witch dual vacuum advance stock dizzy. Got mine
tuned pretty good but would love to see your specs Courtney. Maybe I could
tune mine better. Mike in Alabama

Ok Mike, will scan the procedure for you. It came out in a HotVW’s annual. Will
take me a day or two if that’s ok with you, now that it’s busy Xmas time!

I'm thankful to all those who said no. Because of them I did it
myself.

Amazing! I’ve got the article right now! I must be more organized than I
thought! Anybody want the article on properly adjusting a 34pict-3??
