BlackVelvet   10 #1 Posted February 2, 2007 Managed to get the VW scirocco I bought recently started this morning, but does have some running problems i hope someone here may advise me on. It will not run properly in idle, it stalls and sounds like the timings out If you rev it, it occasionally backfires When you then take your foot off the gas, you get what I can only describe as 'kickback' from the carb air filter, which is a KJ&N and looks pretty new. We know very little about this cars history, other than ? carb problems. do these syptoms suggest the carb, or other problems. BTW, heres a 'before' photo of it taken before we start any renovation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
