1970 vw beetle backfires and dies after a few miles
i have recently been replacing everything on my 1970 1641cc vw beetles motor. i replaced the distributor, wires, and plugs, had a race mechanic set the points, i have a brand new empi 2 barrel carb,that was adjusted by the same guy. it will start up fine and run good for a while then it will backfire and die. i was just pulled home by a family member and within the 10 minutes of it dieing i was pulled home and before we pushed it i figured to try it anyway and it fired right up. so i don't have a clue whats going on with it.
