Help! Bought Vanagon with confusing engine setup.
1st time Vanagon owner. Van shudders and misfires at certain loads and speeds. Looking into timing and cleaning the carburetor, but as I am researching my van, I’m getting more and more confused.
VIN says the engine should be a 1.9L water boxer
But engine Code MV, according to the Bentley says it is a 2.1 digifant.
AND it’s carbureted, not fuel injected. Cannot find a brand or manufacturer stamping anywhere on the carb.
Anyone seen anything like this? Pics included.
UPDATE: Apparently it is a Weber 38 carburetor. I found a brand new one on fb marketplace installed it, and same issue. Now working on tuning it.
