This is a simple and reliable unit, and most of its problems are related to age. Owners most commonly complain about malfunctions in the Pierburg 2E3 carburetor. Regular ignition system failures come in second place in terms of popularity. Keep an eye on the condition of the timing belt, as its lifespan is short, and if it breaks, the valves may bend. In severe frost, the crankcase ventilation often freezes, causing oil to ooze through the dipstick.
