Recently(the last two weeks) my 1976 Rabbit has benn en exhibiting the following 
behaviour:
Whne cold, it runs badly - bucks on accelleration when upshigfting.
This only lasts for about three miles - provbbably until thre engine is warmed
up. Then it runs fine.
 Does anyone have any isdeas what it could be?

You might check the heat riser valve for freeze.  This "bug" turns up on a
lot of otherwise sound cars.

I still have the problem of my  `76 Rabbit running badly
when cold - although I've noticed that it runs ok when the humidity
is low. I've cleanded the automiatic choke with cleaner - but I thoiink
it may be an electrical problem((ignition wires or distributor cap).
Any one else have this problem. I may just change everything(points,
plugs, wires, etc), but I'm obsessed with the cause of this problem.

P. S. Thanks to all who responded to my previous plea for help.
