	One of those v experienced VW mechanics 
who gave me the v unfavourable assessment of the 
Solex 34-PICT-3 also tipped me off to this method 
(which he, let alone I, could not guarantee); but 
it does sometimes work as a tool-free unblocking 
method.

The Method
	Warm up engine. Prepare CO2 extinguisher 
for a fast draw :-X.  Lift air-cleaner connection 
off top of carb.  Rev to „3000 rpm.  Hold hand 
over top of carb, causing engine to "die" to v 
low rpm.  Remove hand.
		Repeat sequence if nec'y.
