Re: MkI Square Four fine tuning and performance troubles

It certainly sounds like your engine performance is abnormal. My own MK II, rebuilt just 1300 miles (and 1.5 years ago) has never had such anemic performance. Even during break in, I frequently got speeds up to 100 kph, and now she is very happy to go well beyond that. I respect the old gal's age, so I won't be doing any tests to find out of she will make the "ton" or not, but I have little doubt it could be done with minimal effort.
Wish I could offer a new angle on your issue, but at least wanted to let you know that engine has way more potential than you are experiencing.
