1776 Single Port Eng 1st Drive

[@roberthickey1465]

No, the extra info is what makes your videos great, please keep it up.

[@RustyGlovebox]

That 1776 is going to work great and will give you lots of fun for this season.

[@TheEZGZ]

Let the fun begin :-)

[@durtyclothes]

every shot and comment is an absolute gem! Thank you.

[@daalhoffarm]

Great!!! Now get a 34pict-4, you will get instand power increase and better trottle response=better mpg. Stock cam has nice low trorque, hope to see more rides! Thx for all the info, we love it like that. Real videos are the best videos.

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

Buggy reborn as a daily driver. Running freaking awesome. All the work paid off. Enjoyed the ride!!!

[@TheEZGZ]

Thanks Stan. Looking forward to a ride in the Jeep :-)

[@V8N8T]

Sounds like a nice little torquey motor! Great job EZ that little mill will give you miles of smiles!:)

[@damiansgaragebuilds7663]

Down here in homestead Florida we don’t really have many areas to off-road.... I’m gonna use mine for car shows and to go metal detecting! Great videos!!

[@TheEZGZ]

I always thought metal detecting would be fun after a hurricane. Ya just never know what can get washed up on a beach.

[@damiansgaragebuilds7663]

Ohhh yeah large swells tearing the shoreline apart is a dream for us! Scrooge_Mcduck2 on IG to see a few of my finds

[@bobandres5559]

Your driving around after a rebuild is great. Gives me an idea how mine is supposed to run once its put together. Thanks Ezz. I agree, more info is great. There is some good videos out there but you have the most informative content. And if you repeat yourself thats even better for us old guys that short memories ha ha ha.

[@benshore7357]

Hey ez thanks for the video . The rides are the best part. Some channels only show working on the vehicle. Your not sure if they ever get them driving. Running great

[@TheEZGZ]

Thanks for the feed back. Have yourself a virtual Burrito :-)

[@MichaelAnderson-nh4gu]

Another great video, nothing wrong with break in video. Sometimes break in times can be pretty nerve racking. Thanks .

[@johnserou6466]

I enjoy drive videos. You are the man when it comes to drive ability. I can not remember the last time one of my VWs were that smooth.

[@TheEZGZ]

I got lucky on this one. I didn't expect it to do so well on this first test. I hope it gets good MPG. Thanks for checking in John

[@agrameroldoctane_66]

Congratulation on great sounding engine and extremely smooth ride 😮 ... I did my first drive on '66 today, video coming.

[@misterbs-fixit1636]

Sounds great, looks good. I think you will like it. Something to be said for a reasonable, healthy single port.

[@TheEZGZ]

When I think of all the trouble, frustration and money I spent over the last 30 years chasing HP I want to cry. 90% of the time I'm sitting in traffic with everyone else. It's really starting to grow on me

[@kevinhamling4675]

G'day Kevin from Australia. What a great series glad I came along. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@taddbitofvideos3974]

Love the vids, I like it when drive around the old stopping ground, brings back memories Sometime it takes me a few minutes to figure out where you are at, but once I see a good landmark or street sign, I'm right there with ya, sounds awesome, you have given me the itch to build another one. Thanks for the ride buddy

[@VWJawbreaker]

Engine is sounding great buddy, great job! Glad you took it out for a drive, sure wish it was 55 down here lol

[@timreiner4425]

Man that sounds really nice at 4,000 RPM! Great to ride with you... again.

[@nickis_speedshop]

Ooh... That's a sweet sounding engine. Great work from the man himself, EZGZ!

[@TheEZGZ]

I can hear the sound change as it breaks in. 100 miles later sounds and feels smoother.

[@Mike-pu3ot]

Running great looks like fun to drive. Thanks for taking us along

[@TheEZGZ]

It is a fun ride in this nice spring weather

[@bigwadventures7061]

Nice break in ride. Sounds smooth and nice. Good thing you caught the fuel leak. You seem real happy with the results of your efforts. Wish I was there holding the camera. Thanks Buddy. BigW:-)

[@TheEZGZ]

Got 100 miles in with Mary and it didn't miss a beat :-)

[@bigwadventures7061]

SWEET!!

[@jerryfallin1753]

I really appreciate & enjoy your video 's it has helped me keep my vw trike running. But I keep coming back to your videos because I like the human element

[@wesallen4228]

I like chocolate and the dog too. Thanks for taking us on a nice ride.

[@vwcol..7719]

That's a nice engine well done

[@TheEZGZ]

Thank you sir!

[@sail235aeh]

Everybody loves a performance motor but the smooth sound of a near stocker is hard to beat ! We must be gettin old !

[@TheEZGZ]

I've been thinking that same thing. Beauty and Performance fade away. Reliability and unconditional love are rare and more desirable....

[@sail235aeh]

@@TheEZGZ Well said !

[@wesbuhr548]

It runs great. I like the first Drive. You lucked out no dead spot on the first Drive. You will be happy with it.

[@TheEZGZ]

I depend heavily on Luck. I sure miss that dead spot. LOL NOT!!!!

[@dagoldfishies]

Hi EZ Dan Here. Good Job! I built a similar engine once. Ran the W-100 and a 40 horse carb but mine was a 1585cc Got 32mpg on a road trip. Way better than a stock engine. Not as slow on hills as it was stock. Mine iced up a bit too! I see why you went with a stock cam. with single ports and more bore than stock it's going to make it's torque nice and low. Good Show!

[@TheEZGZ]

I'm very happy with it around town. Makes a bit longer between fuel stops for sure. :-)

[@alvon911]

I enjoy your "real world" videos of what it's actually like to drive an air-cooled Beetle!!

[@TheEZGZ]

I appreciate the feed back. Have a great Day!

[@keithk8698]

Love the ride along. Good info on a smaller motor. I might just do the same as you and go with a 1776 too.

[@MrStrangelymade]

Really enjoyed this video, one of the best ones you've done. Nothing beats hearing the sound of a beetle engine running nicely. And a pooch at the end, Bonus.

[@VWLifeVW]

on the next episode of theezgz; today we build a 40hp and it is the greatest day ever :)

[@TheEZGZ]

No financing available for that job. hehehe

[@hankthebugman]

Dude, get that fuel filter out of the engine compartment. Looking for trouble with that installation. You actually demonstrated the reason for not using that location in your video. Informative video. Thank you.

[@vulturedroid9804]

Not boring. Is this motor for Valerie??? Your channel has a four legged mascot.

[@TheEZGZ]

Truthfully this motor was built from parts scattered around the shop. I just wanted to clean up the pile as well as experiment to see what this single port topic was all about. You never know where things will end up around here.

[@reloader50bmg]

Not the first time you have taken us all for a ride!!! LOL.

[@wholeeahn]

congrats gezzy, glad everything when smooth, i on the other hand didnt have luck on my fresh 1300, tighten used gland nut to 220 pounds, and it slipped off and ruined the crank and flywheel. next time ill use lock tight, an new gland nut, and torque it to 300 pounds. i wish i was your neighbor, lol. thanks for the ride on this upload.

[@TheEZGZ]

Changing a shock absorber is very basic even for a beginner with minimum tools. However many people are interested in the coil over feature. It does provide adjustable lift and the shock does it's job 5 years later. Sorry you did not pick up on that. It was less on how and more on function.

[@brokedadsgarage9758]

Loved the content loved the ride along!!!!!

[@martinharris5017]

Thanks for the ride! Nothing wrong with a single carb: Keep it simple.

[@TheEZGZ]

good enough for around town

[@martinharris5017]

@@TheEZGZ New Zealand is a small country, no big loooong highways like you have in the States. Plenty of Dubbers have twin IDFs and ICTs mind you and they do look cool and work great with a big cam, but as I've commented before, it's about wants vs needs. Or horses for courses.

[@jimlester5003]

Sounding great!

[@TheEZGZ]

Thanks!

[@bryan2127]

EZ, thx again for the great videos and fun engine build. What was your comment in the video about the 009 distributor? Is the 009 not good for this engine?

[@TheEZGZ]

Most single center mount carbs don't like the advance curve of the 009. I'm not sure why everything is working so well with this combination???? I guess I will keep fiddling until I find out why. You know how I always need to change things.

[@JakeTaylor1646]

Love it nice sounds 👍 hope to see ya again soon maybe a break in joy ride sounds nice!

[@reloader50bmg]

good video, nice to see handling & RPM /speed.

[@harryloibl5183]

Hay ezgz what area do you reside? If I have the money I’d like to visit you, I’m on the other side of the world 😊

[@craigwright3327]

On the single port 1776 what carburetor or jet are you running I have the same motor unable to get a title with a 3031 pick was working before on prior engine can I just re-jet that carburetor or do I need to replace it with something bigger and if so what size thank you

[@TheEZGZ]

I'm running a Solex 30 PICT-1 with 130 Main jet "But" I have a stock camshaft! Last summer I added a 1.25 rockers on the intake only. It did pull better on my test hill but I didn't touch anything on the carb.

[@Keeflol]

Great Video. Not boring at all. Big Question: Was the garage door closed when you got home? :)

[@johnmarks7243]

Sounds good.vws don't leak they just mark their spot. I wish someone would make a strainer plate gasket that has a thin metal core covered in rubber.... and it would be reusable.

[@jackfreeman4961]

Did you have to do any clearancing for the pistons? I am about to do this same setup. Last one I saw u were having loose rocker arms and ran like 1600

[@TheEZGZ]

I did not have to clearance the pistons

[@koryhiggs9038]

I may of asked before what carb and jet sizes you running? Just finished my 1776 SP up.

Nice video EZGZ

[@downloaded33]

love your videos been watching for over a year. Got a question Ive got a show quality bradley gt single port with a generator how can I keep the power up when driving at night?

[@TheEZGZ]

Well those generators put out about 30 amps and worked for a stock sedan for years. Maybe your generator brushes are worn down or not enough spring tension or bad ground connections or you have high output lights or voltage regulator is bad or battery is old or , or, or, or, or. $100 will get you new Chinese alternator that puts out 50 amps. and if it's chrome it adds 5HP. All the parts stores, O'Rhiles, auto zone, wall mart...... will test your generator output for free if they even know the difference??????

Thanks again

[@harryloibl5183]

Hay ez if condensation was found on the outside of the intake manifold it stands to reason that condensation would be on the inside of the manifold too

[@TheEZGZ]

Humidity and water in the fuel is not uncommon. Even in dry Colorado I have gotten frost on the outside do to lack of heat in the intake of a center mount set up.

[@13badbrad1]

Those hose clamps are no good (don’t stay round) along with the plastic filter = leak, thanks for the video

[@TheEZGZ]

There are a few things I do like about them though. Cheap, stepped hose connection to connect small carb line to larger Dual carb feed, and get a visual on whats coming out of my tank. This Ethanol is hard on everything.

[@mjm1971]

@@TheEZGZ get fuel injector clamps. They work the best for rubber tubing and they are cheap.
