The 71 VW bug had an electric idle solenoid on the side of the carburetor which picked up its current from the + side of the ignition coil. First check that the wire is good and that it has 12 volts of current. Next you can touch the end of the wire to the post on the idle solenoid and listen for a click. If there is no click replace the solenoid. IF it clicks then the port may be stopped up in carburetor . You can gently use a air hose and blow out the port or disassemble the carburetor and do a complete overhaul. If the problem persist after these repairs put in a new electric idle solenoid. You also need to check the spray jet in the throat of the carburetor to insure it is clean and not stopped up.

Check for a vacuum leak somewhere. It might just be a cracked rubber vacuum line. Try short sprays of starting fluid at or near a suspected vacuum leak. You'll hear the engine idle speed change immediately if you find a leak.
