(06-14-2014) Beetle intake repair

I finally installed new gaskets for the intake on the old Beetle this weekend.  It runs a lot better, and doesn't leak gas everywhere now, so that's a good thing.  I even took it out for a quick spin to see how it drives.  It was a blast!

The only problem was I had a dead short once I had everything re-installed.  It turned out to be the wire going to the electric choke was touching the dog-house (fan shroud) and causing the smoke.  Didn't take long to find and fix, but it's never cool to see smoke coming from the wiring.
