Hi all,
First off this site is the best.
Here is some history.
I have an issue with a 1996 GTI.
Last year I found the engine compartment full of water (son did not put seat on right) it had been sitting on the trailer for some time.
I purged all the water, cleaned everything.
Pulled the gas tank and cleaned, replaced all fuels lines (it had the Tempco lines).
I just rebuilt the carbs (first time) and now am trying to tune them.
Here is my issue, when I pop the throttle it kind of runs away like something is sticking.
It will idle fine although a little rough (still working on that) but when you really goose it, it runs away.
I need you guys to give me some insight please.
Thanks!
This doo has been out of service for almost 2 years and I am so close to getting her back on the water.
To top it off it is my wife's ride!
Thanks ahead of time.
