Wow! Ya mean I have a rare Rabbit? ;-)

Would the frequency valve go "tick, tick, tick"?

I'll have to check and see if it's a Carter carb.

Actually, years ago there was a recall on the carburetors for the
Rabbit. The recall involved the throttle shaft breaking... which mine
did.

I never got the recall and ended up finding a used carb with a good
shaft and making a swap. The company probably owes me a new carb.

They don't do carbs anymore, of course, this is a 1984 model. Still
runs good though.
