We cleaned out the carburetors and bought gasket material from autozone. Nicole cut out the gaskets from ther material because nobody sold the gaskets except with a rebuild kit, and we didn't need that.
Nicole put the carbs back in and adjusted them.
I noticed that the superbeetle did not idle smoothly. No matter how much you adjusted the idle richness screw, it wouldn't idle smooth. Could it be the compression? or maybe the points in the distributor?
Tomorrow I will adjust the valves and get a compression tool to check the compression in the cylinders. Maybe the piston rings are bad, and that could also be the reason fro the gas smell in the oil.
