Haha, no worries! You almost had me!
I double checked and i do not have this "damper" mounted on my car. On my old carburettor the vacuum hose was just plugged and when i put on the new carburettor all the hoses where connected together with the t-coupling. 4 and the two 6 connected with 7. And it ran... but the t-coupling broke so that's when i started looking up where they should go since i thought it looked strange.

I haven't. The carburetor has been on there for almost four years and i still dunno how the vacuum should be connected.

Now I found your post !
Sorry my carburetor was no help from you. The way I figure it out - after reading your story here - is that you have more vacuum hoses on the carb than vacuum ports to go to. The the only vacuum you'll need is the one that goes into the distributor. The other hoses are not used, if you don't have that damper on the air intake - I don't have it either. Just plug those hoses so that it doesn't draw air and that's it - as far as I understand that's how it worked until now and it worked great. PS - my LT has been through Portugal for nine months or so. Sorry I missed you there. :)

Hey Ottoman!
Thanks, I'll plug them and give it another try! Edit: On http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/LT/year/1982/drive_standart/30/hg_ug/129/subcategory/36010/part_id/3691433/lang/e#sec_1A It's visable what this vacuum connection goes, into the 1A "Pulldown Socket". Is this needed in some way for the fuel to flow? I'm having a hard time reading the technicals manuals on what this Pulldown socket actually does. Any ideas? Edit2: Found this at Ruddes; http://www.ruddies-berlin.de/Ti141_1B3.html

I think that pulldown socket actuates the cold start butterfly - the butterfly is closed for cold starting, after the engine is started and is reved, the vacuum pulls the butterfly through the pulldown socket, to open it and allow more air to pass. Anyway, you need a vacuum hose connected to it, which I imagine it was, since the engine was running fine.
The above explanation is based on what I can figure out from the parts diagram, unfortunately I don't know German, so I don't understand the document on the ruddies site.
