Mk1 Golf 1300cc 1982

Hi Everyone
Please can you help me again

I've bought this Golf for my son but it will not tick over without full choke, have you got any ideas please

Many thanks Marc

Fuel supply issue? Fuel pump? Could it be the carb needs cleaning/adjusting?

Thanks Smudger I will check it out. The Carb seems to be very lose on the manifold so i think I will take it off and check it out

Sounds like a possiblity then mate. Give it a good clean and make sure all is as it should be. That might be the issue. Could be the fuel lines might be dirty? What's it like under acceleration? How's the condition of your filler neck?

Thanks mate I think I will rellpace the rubber flange as well.

Accelerates well a bit of popping and banging not sure if drawing in too juch air

I will keep you posted, once again many thanks

No worries mate. Let us know how you get on.

I had this problem on a 1300 mk1, turned out to be the rubber gasket that goes between the carb and the inlet manifold.
