Brian, Had to smile a little when you mentioned the engine "skipping a beat". Some of us older KR drivers called it the VW "burp." Everyone I've ever heard experiencing this "heart in the throat" situation was running a suspect Posa carb. I don't think anyone really figured out for sure what was happening, but I think Mark L. is as close as anyone in explaining the phenomenon. Also, I've never heard of a VW actually quitting as a result of it, but I will say that it does cause you concern when you're running along nice and smoothly and all of a sudden - a quick "burp" - then back to normal again. If it were me, I'd change carbs. Wonder if Jim Faughn has ever experienced it?
