SteveW,

What size idle jets are on the carbs? Keep in mind they may not be as marked as a previous owner may have reamed them out. My 911 2.2 also has Zenith carbs. I had this problem when I first purchased my car and fixed it by going to 55 idle jets. Jets are not easy to find as Solex is no longer in business. I have been told VW used the same jet on some of the early cars. I used a wire spark plug guage to roughly determine jet size 22/1000 is 0.56mm 20/1000 is 0.51mm. My jets were as stamped and were 3 different sizes 47.5, 55, and 62.5 go figure.
