Don,
I am honored by your posting a reply to my suggestions and I completely agree with your "well seasoned" observations. In Gary's case since he seems to have done a reasonably thorough job of carburator cleaning and filter servicing, it might be best if he could just borrow a "known quality" carb for a test to verify or put the carb question to rest. I know this sounds like a rather simplistic suggestion but since there are so relatively few A4's around these days it might be difficult to find a willing doner. Maybe another forum viewer in his area could help out with this.
One other area which is with us these days and can affect, particularly A4 vintage fuel systems is the presence of alcohol in our fuel. I have seen fuel lines which have swelled almost completely closed because of it's effects.
Again, thank you for your comments.
Tom
