When the engine is cold, even below freezing, it starts right up. I don&#8217;t need to give it any gas it just goes. When hot it can either start right up or struggle. So I decided to adjust the choke. I think it was open 100% even when cold. This is it ice cold. Following the Bentley manual and a few videos I adjusted it to 1\/4&#8243; when cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2190-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2190-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2190-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2190-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2190-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2190-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I loosened the 3 screws in the EMPI Pict 34 choke and moved it so it was about 1\/4&#8243; open when cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2193-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2193-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2193-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2193-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2193-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2193-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2234-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2234-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2234-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2234-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2234-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2234-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It still starts up great, and the hot engine starting is&#8230; maybe better.
