No worries mate. I think you won’t believe what really happened. As I had already tried everything and made sure EVERY (when I say every, it’s really every thanks to the VW manual that covers it and the Dignition) part of the 2e3, I wondered if the carb wasn’t just dirty as heck, and boy was it full of junk. The first time I dropped my fuel tank, there was still 1992 gas in it. Thing is fuel rots, and when mixed with rust makes a sort of goo that gets stuck everywhere no matter what you do. I deep cleaned it at the time but I think the fuel lines were full of junk too. In the end I replaced everything with new lines and a 42L instead of a 36L tank. Right now the car has been running for almost a year flawlessly, I’m running bike carbs with the bike airbox connected to the stock one in which I kept a k&n for road use. I’m redesigning the airbox to print one in ABS that’ll fit the firewall a bit better. Took it to the track, handled it like a champ ! I drive it every morning to work, the manual choke is a pain in the a** to operate but it almost never let me down, and it rips ! Will need to dyno it sometime, i’m thinking 90hp with the GK cam. Had to replace the head gasket in May of this year tho, it decided to unite cylinders 2 & 3… Rn the SP is my daily, currently working on my 79 mk1f gls which is great too. When this one will be ready i’ll focus on the brand new engine meant for the SP with the schrick cam mentioned in the earlier posts. A quick pic of the engine bay as it sits compared to when I got it
