Firstly take the time and read a bit in archives 2002.      If there is a f=
lat spot in the power at or before full pedal  it indicates lack of fuel.  =
 There are two possibilities    Fueling screw set too low  or there is a fu=
el restriction somewhere.(Say screen in tank or fuel filter). The transmiss=
ion number is easy to read -- look at bottom of bellhousing.   If you have =
a GL xxxxx it should go a lot faster.Mine goes way faster than 72 MPH.   Do=
 test with window closed. Now if you have a GC xxxxx tranny then expect it =
to be slower.   First turn the fueling screw in a 1/4 turn  and let us know=
 it should belch black smoke at full power.Then you can fine tune it by tur=
ning it out in very small moves.        Mine went so fast that I was worrie=
d about tickets  the limit was 120 Km/h        it went a lot faster than th=
at   its a 1982  Rabbit 1.6L NA with 300 000 Km on clock.             Pleas=
e give us more details like what kind of fuel and how much on the clock.   =
       Hagar.
