I had that problem with my bus.It was running hot. You could see the gas
boiling in the gas filter.I tryed everything. I ended up using another carb
from my bug. It took car of the problem. I also use premium.

That is beautiful Duncan.
Sammie, my current mechanic and my prior mechanic told me to use regular. So
that's what I do. I am a straight weight oil person too. 30 most of year and
40 right now. And electronic ignition, I am asking for trouble aren't I. I do
what my mechanic says cause he is the one who has to the work I can't handle.
He takes good care of me and my Buses and I have to trust him.

Probably not a cause of the problem: but you mentioned "bad gas." You are
using premium fuel aren't you. That VW engine needs 91 or more octane.

After I drive my '68 and turn him off, I hear a bloop-bloop noise coming from
the engine compartment. I would say it sounds similar to slow percolation. It
will go on for a couple of minutes. This Bus seems to run perfect except the
idle is probably too low but I haven't had a chance to bring it by my mechanic
to confirm this. What could the noise be? Is it connected to the idle being
too low? Should I be concerned?
At times when a Bus isn't running well then the possibility of "bad gas" is
brought up. How often is "bad gas" the problem? And does "bad gad" just mean
water in the gas? And does "bad gas" have a stronger negative effect on an air
cooled engine over a more modern water cooled engine?
Thanks for thinking,
Julie
