nice.
Chris you could've been a good actor on the sopranos
Great video! Made me laugh and gives me hope!
Any tips on keeping it going? My 71 super runs great for about an hour then dies, I can't restart it right away. I usually have to let it sit for 30 minutes or more. Any help would be great.
Where did you get the kit to hold flywheel and starter.
Is that the cantina band music?
engines love to run
I love this
I bought a '71 Super Beetle in 2016 that had been sitting since 1997 without the engine being started.
Towed the bug home. Replaced plugs and timed. Ran a fuel line to a spare can and she started right up as if it had been driven the week before. Amazing quality on these air-cooled VW's.
found a similar beetle in a barn, thanks for the video will try to get it started. I only have experience working on Subarus but hope i can get it to run
thats awesome how much crap it blew out lol… I had a 69 baja in highschool and drove it all the way through till I graduated with NEVER doing an oil change (because I was young and stupid). one day I decided to go ahead and do one to "treat" my car lol… when i opened up the strainer I found about 3/4 of a pound of sand and muck…
I couldnt believe it would run, and ran GREAT, with that kind of debris in the case. I took my time and spent about 4 hours cleaning and spraying carb cleaner in it and reaching up with rags and pulled as much of the crap i could see out. once satisfied that I'd done a good job I sealed her back up, put oil in her and fired her up. she sputtered a bit but sounded great. I drove about 2 miles and the engine blew up. Apparently I shouldve just left it alone lol….
(that being said, the motor I replaced it with had set for nearly ten years previous and it legit fired right up with nothing more than a moment of sanding on the points.)
Runs like a rebuilt motor from GEX
any tips for an engine that flooded with water for 20 years?
What size wrench did you use to turn the crank
Run set for 15 years it said it started right up after a little bit of time cleaning out the tank in the lines
Best song ever btws

This is one my favorite Classic VW videos!
Lawn mower gas tank
