Works
bad the Saxomat?
Then check
first:
At the
gearshift.
- The
distance and perfect state of the contacts.
- The
firm seat of the piece of contact in the gearshift.
- Possible
deteriorations in the cable of the gearshift to the control
valve.
- The
firm seat of the inferior contact of the insulating socket.
If being connected the ignition you press the gearshift,
will have to hear the operation of the membrane of the Servo-motor,
being then perfect the union between the gearshift, valve
of control and
Servo-motor.
At the
control valve:
- The
firm seat of the unions of all the flexible tubes (hoses,
I guess?), even the thin tube between the control valve
and the carburetor.
- If
the flexible tubes have not bent or hooked.
- The
firm seat of cables in the connection bridge, between the
valve of control and the ignition coil. 4. The insurance
in the connection bridge.
At the
carburetor:
- Setting
of the engine idle. The too fast adjustment of the engine
idle, can originate difficulties in the starting.
- If
the gas butterfly, the carburetor cable, and the accelerator
pedal work freely.
- The
perfect operation of the stepped segment and the automatic
corrector of the starting.
In the
clutch lever:
The firm seat of the fixation screw. If the union between
the handle had become loose and the clutch rod, you have to
renew the aluminum washer placed between both pieces, in order
to readjust the clutch and to tighten the screw of fixation
with 6kgm. If the outer edge of the drill, in the fluted inner
part of the clutch rod, still does not take countersinking,
recommend yourself to execute it later. Its diameter will
have to be of 14mm.
Check
the clutch play. Clean surface contacts at the gear shift
and, check the distance of the contacts.
If in
spite of this, you have not managed to find the cause of the
failure in the Saxomat, consults the special indications in
the page M28/1-3 of the Repair Manual for VW tourism cars,
1960 edition.
