A little WD40 sprayed on them will solve the problem. If you are going to use WD-40, a water displacement, it can clean things up quickly, but it leaves a sticky residue. I suggest that if the WD-40 seems to work, but the problem returns, clean it up with a zero residue cleaner and follow that up with a proper lubricant. ---

the engine already had WEBER PROGRESSIVE CARBURETOR Non-stock carbs can be a problem. IRIDIUM POWER SPARK PLUGS,HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPARK PLUG CABLE SET In my experience, non- OEM wires and plugs are seldom better and often more of a problem than stock. I would try returning it as much as possible to stock OEM and take it from there. [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/super-beetle-engine/54628.md?page=1)
