The engine on our VW Beetle will not idle. It has a new carb and fuel pump. We noticed the clear filter always has an air pocket in it. About 50%. Is this normal? The engine revs fine but we can't seem to adjust it to stay at an idle. Thoughts?

Did you install the F/filter correctly? try adjusting the A/F mix screw then the idle screw to RPM specification, also check ignition timing
