 Hi all. I have a 1972 Beetle that is not giving me much acceleration beyond
2500 rpm. I had a Beetle mechanic check it out and he tells me that the
distributor is not advancing, and that I need to dismantle it and check if
the small weights inside are moving freely. Any links as to where this
procedure might be explained? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Elvin

Your '72 should have a distrib with 2 vacuum hoses. Besides the
mechanical advance, you want to be sure the vac advance is working.

Suck on each hose and watch the advance plate. It should move to the
stop and stay there when you block off hose (tongue in hose).
If it fails this test, one or both vacuum chambers has a leak
or a hose leaks.

Hey Karl,

what do you mean by a felt?
'My brother's 1302 dizzy is a little lazy, i sprayed it with WD40 and it did
some good but not too much. (will try liquid wrench later)
Maybe together with that drop of oil it will do the trick.
I looked in the haynes manual but no felt either.

Please can you clear that out for me??

TIA
Roger
