=>Dear listers.
=>
=>I have a few problems with the bunny.
=>Overall its a blast to drive even with these problems.
=>Current state.
=>Most of the plugs such as the thermotime switch are broken
=>and are currently duct taped to the appropriate socket.
=>the basic CIS-lambda is hooked up with the Vaccumm advance.
=>the engine is a 2.0L ABA with a 38mm hydro head 8v cause
=>it satisfys the requirement as stated by my wife...
=>"I dont want 16Volts in my car"
=>
=>My problems.
=>#1 Brakes. one lister has already suggested the booster.
=>Im trying to avoid this conclusion.. (head buried in the sand)
=>Current config.
=>New FAG master clyn. (original size for the 81 bunny)
=>New VW master clyn O-ring.
=>16v scirocco 10.1's in the front
=>81 bunny prop valves
=>81 bunny rear drums.
=>Whats new. Master clyn. Driver side rear wheel clyn.
=>
=>Problem:
=>I have a sticky brake pedel.
=>Deceleration braking
=>under engine deceleration if I depress the brake pedal it will remain at
=>the depressed location. ie -- a true stick. if i smack on the brake pedal
=>sharply w. my foot sometimes it will return to the normal position
=>sometime not.
=>
=>acceleration braking, unloaded engine, or clutch engaged braking.
=>I can depress the pedal and it will return slowly.
=>
=>engine off
=>the brake pedal returns normally, but has a "soft" spot about 1/2 way thru
=>the pedal travel.
=>
=>#2 idle hunt.
=>This just started this evening after returning to the city.
=>hunts between 200-1100. only vac hooked up is for the brake booster, vac
=>resovoir, and distributor.
