this bug doesnt want to start on hills, wether it's pointed up or down. it starts just fine on level ground. any ideas what could be wrong? also are there any different type of heating for these cars? it darn cold up here already.

if it is not fuel injected then i would say carb floats need to be adjusted. bugs are not know for the soothin warm heat they produce. i have a small converterac/dc and a space heter but they make all sort of heaters in the camping and off road worlds. i would be affraid of using any fuel type heater as they could start a fire. jc whitney sells a booster fan kit for stock applications. i havent tried that system but i have read the listing.

how steep a hill? if you dont have enough fuel in it and you park on a hill it may not be able to get fuel from the tank
