Hey Hans ? I have on good authority the 308 manual was translated by a band of excommunicated Tibetan Monks and typed up and printed by a small Minnesota church in their basement.  Crude.  A lot of stuff happens which may be missing between the lines.  Birdman and I am sure there are others within our esteemed company who can fill in the blanks, have done this many times and codified the magic recipe.  I?ll bet there are VW tuners who know this carb quite well too.  Therefore I go with the longer version and more wordy version.  I am a killer on Solex PII (both versions) and 3 bbl Zeniths and Weber?s carbs but these 308 carbs?  I don?t trust myself.

Onward

PS ? geeeze Rob, that sure is a nice spread.  Did you do that?

What's wrong with simply using the procedure in the factory
service manual?  It's very clear, and it works.
