1. Open the hood, with motor off.
2. Have someone step on the accelerator up and down.
3. Everything moving to the left of the valve cover is the throttle linkage.
4. Open can of elbow grease and set of small metric wrenches. Adjust the linkage from step 3. to ensure full travel of the srprung lever at the end of the linkage.
5. Sweep away the debris of your illusions
6. Order & read John Muir's How to keep your VW alive for the compleate idiot
for mechanical background and advise on pre-purchase inspection & test drive.
7. Roll up your sleeves & buy some tools if 1-6 were in any way entertaining or edifying.
