Hello, I have a 66' Beetle with a 1600cc single port engine. The problem that I am having is that it will idle with no problems but if you apply accelerator the engine coughs and sputters. When I started the car the air was cold and it sputtered a little bit from the stop signs. I thought nothing of it until after it warmed up and the problem continued. I drove it down the freeway and made a couple of stops. Got back in the car after being in a store for about 15 minutes, it started up ok then when I tried to leave it bucked and jumped and sputtered like crazy. I ended up calling a flatbed tow truck to come haul it home. I think it may be the carburetor but I am not sure. The carburetor has not been overhauled or touched outside of tuning for the past ten years. The fuel line is less than a year old. The fuel pump is less than three months old. It has an inline fuel filter that I have it placed underneath the car away from the engine. The filter looks clear of debris. Thinking back I remember from time to time it would act like it was flooded when I would start it. Where would y'all begin to look? Should I rebuild the carburetor?
