Just recently have my '59 235 on the road after a complete nut-and-bolt. With the engine up to temp pushing the choke knob so the butterfly is all the way open kills it. I have to run with the knob about 1/2" or so out.
Normal? Or does that suggest the carb is set a little lean?


A VW guy trying his hand at a '59 LB fs. Lots to learn, but it's about the journey.
