Hello!

T34 has been sitting a long time (no-one knows how long) and its brakes
stick if I brake, at three wheels: Left front wheel brake works as it should.

If I open the bleed screw of a stuck brake, it expels a bit of brake fluid
and then the wheel spins again, i.e.. the brake itself works and I can drive
it if I don't brake.

Old Beetle owners like me know that especially rear brake hoses are famous
of breaking in such a way it forms a one-way valve and thus sticking the
brakes every time you brake, so I bought new hoses. I didn't buy new ones to
front at the same and that was a mistake. Oh well, yet another visit to
local VW shop. (They know me by name there already. "Hello Thomas, what
may we sell you today?" )

Haven't had time to replace those yet, but I can't imagine what else it
could be as the 4th wheel works: If all four were stuck, then it would point
to brake master cylinder or pipes.

I've also new handbrake cables, I'll change those at the same time I replace
the hoses.

I dismantled and cleaned carburettors and now I have (a bit rough) idle and
charging appeared when I installed springs for the carbon bits (what are the
called?) as they were MIA.
