You have a 70 B with a Weber which means (to me) that someone converted the SU's to Weber and possibly didn't connect up or block off the absorption canister or vapor separator. You might check the

I had a real bad gas smell in my B a few years back. I checked out the whole fuel system, and found everything OK except for a leaky fuel tank. However, after replacing that, the smell persisted. It

Yes, I have a lot of smoke esp. when I gun it in second gear. I rebuilt the carb about a year or two ago. I don't think it is leaking. I'll check the richness. Thanks, Jesse ________________________

Dave, You are right. I'm affraid it was me who put the Weber on. I was in high school and my "Weber-loving" Uncle (a VW mechanic) influenced me highly. Honestly, I've never really liked it - I alway
