Tried that trick just now and it works 👍👍

the problem with these was the awful ebgine that came with it .difficult to fix

Hi I have a 1965 VW Beetle a GEX 1200 engine and the problem is its vapor locking constantly when its hot and i replaced every fuel system part including the carburetor, fuel pump, the flange and pushrod, i ran a new fuel line under the chassis as its leaving me on the side of the road as i have to pour water on the pump and reprime the carb to get it to restart. as the pump and flange is newer. originally on the 40 horse the pump has a screw on fitting but this has the push on fitting its a Autozone Delphi pump as why is this keep vapor locking on me ?

slightly lowered stock car with mismatched interior/exterior colours, random porsche wheels and aftermarket carbs. someone got badly ripped off.

Thank you

Lover this video running 2 filters I think is good

It worked for me on 6/24/2024. Thanks!

Hello, I am in the process of rewiring a 1974 super beetle, the wiring diagram that you have in this video, where can I find something like that?

I have a headache after watching this

Silly question. Should all these boxes have a foam insert? And also are they sealed with a gasket? I have one mounted on the upper fire wall. It has nothing inside and is dripping oil in my beautiful engine bay. It was installed when i got the motor put in and i have no idea if it supposed to have a filter or foam inside. Would it be bad to use a liquid gasket type product to seal it?

Lol .. more filters ... that's crazy-talk ! vw already has a filter in the tank. And another in the fuel pump. How many fuel filters do you need ?

6:15 in right hand side what's that wire go too I believe it one of the 2 I don't have hooked up but I'm can't find wat spot it goes to

Nice video I could use ur help rewiring a beetle if u could contact me by chance

No gas?

Where is part 3?

M&T Manufacturing

Very nice. Thank you!

retard timing & replace carb jets(richer).Todays fuels cause a lean mixture(VW''s were designed to run on leaded gas).I used to get vapor lock,& the engine would get hot,but after these changes,the engine runs cool(i have an oil temp gauge,replacement for the drain plug ).

There are 3 marks close together on the choke housing, the middle one is the standard setting (spring and autumn) the one to the anti-clockwise side of tge middle mark is the winter setting and the other is the summer setting, all dependent on the temperature / climate obviously of the country the car is based in.

I have a 78, it has 2 and i bought replacement filters but the ones i have are awhite box with filter inside. Is this right?

That looks like a rats nest! My 68 looks the same!

Number one thing that thick cable hooked to your starter better be the positive side of the battery or you have major problems. You said it was the negative side of the battery.

I have a 69 bug , new wiring harness installed , blinker works , head light works , brake light comes on , but no tail light comes in when I turn my lights on?

Just a question why is your vacuum hose plugged off? Just curious. I think two filters are a good idea. Thanks

Mine did not work, but I appreciate your tips

👌

Come on guy,get to the meat of it.l

Mysteries abound on these carbs. I ve bought three to try get my 62 running and always had somevissue. Fuel pressure, clogged lines from washers in stock fuel pumps, kinks in line under gas tank, choke not ideally set... and on it goes. I want duals but I can't make a single work😂😂. Starts, idles, sometimes dies not always, if it does die doesnt want to start. I feel my timing is on, valves adjusted, running pointless ignition with matching svda vacum distributor/coil, new wires aaaarrrgggghhhhhh

I mod the doghouse for the type4 wide oil cooler and run foam wrap over it

1:01 there was a leaf inside the tank... there's just something SO bloody funny about that! 🤭😆🤣

The 1st time my buddy drove it, he got it down the street in Low, then came to a halt when he tried to put it into 1st. - Without even being able to see in the cab, I had to yell at him: "TAKE YOUR HAND OFF THE STICK!" lol. As soon as he did, it took off.

Nothing weird about it. Maybe cause my 1st VW was an 68 Autostick. Once you get that reverse is "push down (to the floor), then up and to the left, the rest is just like you were driving a standard from 2nd thru 4th - no problem. The plus with the Autostick: the transmission was set up with different gear ratios, so you could drive around town in Low all day. 2 was for the freeway. But it didn't jerk you around like 1st gear would be doing on a standard. My Autostick was VERY zippy, but probably because I had an excellent VW mechanic who also built drag race buggies. lol. As he 1st described it to me, due to the different gear ratios + specific tire sizes (and surely whatever better engine he thru into it), he said it was "dialed in". And yes, I was a speed demon in it.

Does anyone have a spare VW automatic padded dash ashtray cover, mine went missing.

So many VW's caught fire with a plastic fuel filter. Use a Chrysler style steel canister fuel filter.

Hey great video,? Does the clutch need to be pressed to start the car

That exhaust doesn't look rite.

It's a late 1952. VWs made before Sept 52 didn't have front vent windows.

Thank you so much this is helped me greatly

Casing auto starter flange is 82.5mm ad manual box is 76mm so how do you guys fit the auto starter on manual box Pls I luv to know.

i need wd 40 for my can of wd40 - kinda bllsht

If I can't get anything out of the nozzle and I know there is still product in there, I simply punch a hole in the can with a hammer and nail and let the wd 40 drip out of the hole I made and onto wherever I need the juice. Definitely a flawed design in the can and spray, I seem to always only get a partial benefit of an entire can with the spray only. (And, no, this does not make the can explode.)

The choke should really be controlled by a cable with a push/pull knob on the dash. The 'automatic choke' really isn't automatic at all, from my experience. They should have left the choke knob on the dash manually controlled with a cable. Like my old 66 Austin Healy Sprite was.

the 1973 speedo is completely different because they changed the dash design so those were just for 68-1972 I suspect.

I dont understand why he keeps switching to say how it would be in a normal car. Just say ude the low for vety slow start. Use first ti go up to 40 and then shift to 2nd. When you take the fiit off the gas is when the clutch engages or when you put pressure on the stick is my question. Also is it a tirque converter or is there something else engaging and disengaging the clutch? Im thinking of getting a autostick for a rebuild but i want to understand how it works compared to a new electric semi auto like in a smart car that used a motor to engage and disengage the clutch

Thank you! It worked. And then it worked right side up after your reset maneuver. I don’t know if it will keep working, but, if it stops again, I’ll do this again. Thanks for sharing. When I saw a new can with the same lid/nozzle for $8.50, I said to myself that someon on KZbin has figured this out. And you did. Thanks.

Just days before searching KZbin for this topic I destroyed the top of a wd40 can trying to get it to work. Threw away 1/3 full can. Might dig it out of trash n pop a hole to drain. I also, just this AM, bought a new can. Somewhere near 8 bucks! Might be my last one ever. I also have Liquid Wrench, Marvel, PB Blaster, some other penetrating spray oil cant recall name. They all work fine. Each one has a niche. So did WD40 but seems this problem is just too common to drop any more coin on the product
