Desperate HELP needed.
I tracked my car at the nürburgring today and car started bogging out when I got off track. I have a 82 gs. It was leaking from carb. When I try to go forward car bogs out. When I use the choke it'll actually move. I'm stuck in the middle of Germany.

What help are you looking for? It seems you know what the problem is (carb leaking) and it will need to be towed. You don't want all that gas dumping down onto your hot exhaust, which will surely cause a fire.
