Almost always going to be a vacuum leak. (--BUT--The bugs are real sensitive to valve adjustment so make sure it's been done first.) Check all the vacuum hoses and make sure they're not rotting out or loose. Check to make sure any vacuum plugs are there also, they may have fallen off. Get a can of carburetor cleaner with the little red nozzle on it and spray a --little-- around the carb linkage, the hose connectors for the intake to carb body areas and down where the intake manifold and head meet, etc. Pause a few seconds in each area you check, your listening for the engine to speedup. Check for vacuum leaks first. Adjust the valves. Make sure the points have been adjusted recently. Check to make sure the plug wires are ok, and don't have any cracks or splits in the insulation that may be shorting out. Whens the last time the spark plugs have been checked or changed.

What is the Difference between 73 beetle and 73 super beetle?
The Super Beetles started in '71 or '72 and and the main differences are they are a little bit longer and they went to a Strut front suspension. They also went to a curved windshield in '74 or '75. I'm not sure when the standards did. But in "general", everything behind the windshield is the same as a standard, so I'm told. But every year VW made slight changes to them both so some things will fit others and some things won't. The curved windshield on a super beetle started in '73 and had a larger plastic dashboard. Another way you can tell a beetle from a super beetle is the standard beetle's spare tire sits uprite in the front of trunk while the super lays flat on bottom of trunk.
