When you remove the carburetor is there a extra hole in the intake manifold surface for the Carb. If so it must be blocked by the Gasket. Some of the intakes have the hole that leads to the heat riser in the intake. Hot exhaust gases are present and will quickly destroy the Carb. power valve if not blocked. If there is not an extra hole your good.

Good morning Thanks very much for all of the great advice that was given to help resolve my stalling issue. Mr Charlie Schwendler really did an awesome job rebuilding my carburetor, fuel pump and distributor. He forwarded my coil to Skip in Florida for a rewind. I bolted the parts back on and now “Millie” runs and drives perfectly! Thanks again!

Sounds to me that the 2 idle mixture screws are turned in a little to far; making the idle mixture too lean.When you brake with it too lean the motor will die! When the car is idleing; turn the idle mixture screws in until it starts to get slightly rough, and slows the rpms; the back them out about 1/8th of a turn, or so. it should be idleing smoothly at that point. You may want to repeat this several times to get as right as possible. I learned this when I was a "newbie" at a VW dealer; The shop foreman would take a car I had tuned up for a test ride; a few times he came back and told me when he came to a stop, the motor almost died; he then told me to back the idle mix screws out just a tad to fix it; he test drove it again; and it was GOOD!!
Regards, Steve Lee
