I
pulled the hub off and the bearings need to be replaced. My question is
this: I don't know what year this front end came off of. Are all link
pin front ends the same? ...And I have ball outer bearings and roller
inner bearings. Are the new bearings that I am finding (roller inner
and outer) interchangeable?

Thanks, -C-Man-]]> Beetle · Type 1 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 22:09:39 GMT http://www.texasaircoolers.com/beetle-type-1-f20/wheel-bearing-question-t1686.htm#7426 http://www.texasaircoolers.com/beetle-type-1-f20/wheel-bearing-question-t1686.htm http://www.texasaircoolers.com/beetle-type-1-f20/bunch-of-vw-photos-t1691.htm Droptop-79

The carb had some gunk in it, so I cleaned and rebuilt it. I have it set where it will idle great, when it catches it will pin you in the seat, but coughs and sputters during transition from low to high speed. Things I have done/checked... 1 Clean and rebuild carb-- Check valve for the accelerator pump was stuck--fixed 2 set points 3 check for air leaks 4 clean and reset points (looked new) What am I missing? It's buggin' me! Thanks, ...
