[@kjdgarage]

Choke on a VW is adjustable, you should use shell Rotella diesel oil in it and buy a zinc additive because it has a flat tappet cam. Your shifter has a lockout for reverse. You have to push shifter down to shift into reverse empi shifter has a finger hole that you pull up on to put it in reverse. The breather from the oil filler is just to vent crank case gas, they do occasionally get some oil in the tube I forgot to mention that the tow bar will steer the car for you. There’s nothing that hooks up to your steering.

[@mrutherford8590]

Under the oil fill tube is a aluminum vented gasket make sure it faces the the right way so oil doesn’t go up the hose and into the air filter. Only crank pressure should go to the air filter

[@Arcusfp1]

Yes this breather plate can get installed with the vents running the wrong direction, which as the piston blow by moves up into the filter neck it will pull oil up and out of the crankcase if it is turned incorrectly. As the blowby goes up to the air breather to be returned in the engine to be burned, it will pull oil into the air filter. 3 things can cause oil in the air filter, with worn rings causing too much blowby. (Like you said too good of compression for that to be the case.) The motor overfilled with oil, or that vent plate at the bottom of the filler neck, which may be turned wrong or missing altogether.

Be careful once you get bit by the air-cooled bug it's a hard habit to shake. Bought my first air-cooled VW in 1980 and have owned at least one consecutively ever since. I have watched a few of your videos and your skills set will be more than adequate to troubleshoot anything wrong with that engine. If you can work on a motorcycle you can definitely work on a air- cooled Volkswagen. I still have my Volkswagens for dummies manual remember when I started working on these things the internet didn't exist yet.

[@randallmalone482]

I noticed you putting oil in that air cooled sand rail when I was working a service station years ago that's pretty much all they dealt with and I'm pretty sure that those engines take 30 weight non detergent oil you can check on it but I was just giving you a heads up

[@randallmalone482]

I don't know what year that engine is in the sand rail I know when I worked in the service station back in the '60s and '70s that's about all they worked on was Volkswagen engines if I remember right back then they took 30 weight non detergent oil

[@charlesgraham9954]

long story short. early 90s SoCal. i took a 67 Bug and went dumb with the engine and trans. that thing from light to light was the quickest vehicle I've had, not the fastest, the quickest. i took everything off and out and Fiber glassed the hood decklid and finders to weigh under 1800 pounds. then i moved to Missouri where they all laughed at me.. tell we raced..! lol smokem with half the engine. fun fun days. thanks for the uploud, it took me back to some good memories. again thank u for all ur time, i appreciate you.

[@ridesliknacho4984]

I had a sand rail almost identical to this about 17 yrs ago. Same roller throttle pedal, skull shifter knob, but the back cage and front were different. They used to make dual carb set ups for them as well. Probably one of the most fun vehicles to drive on the road but mine was super slow. Have fun with it!

[@jasongedney4911]

AHHH THE DUAL WEBER SETUP. I REBUILT A COUPLE OF THESE MOTORS. ONE OF THEM THE CUSTOMER WANTED DUALS ON. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY IT WAS A KIT WITH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, LINKAGE, CARBS AND GASKETS. IT LOOKED SICK ALL MOUNTED UP. IT PERFORMED MUCH BETTER THAN THE SINGLE CARB.

[@ridesliknacho4984]

@@jasongedney4911yep dual webers is what I had. Definitely an improvement over the single carb. Haha the single carb I had actually blew apart on a roadtrip, gas shot out the back hitting the teepee exhaust and caught on fire. Was a giant ball of smoke and flames cruising down the freeway until it died. Which was crazy because there’s not much between the engine and driver on these.

Make sure to check the valve lash they are notorious for it. Excited to see this one get worked out.

It’s the gas tank ,it doesn’t have a breather on it so it’s just sucking the gas straight through the motor being a small capacity one ,only needs one float boul to play up and you have a fuel going in to the bottom off the motor problem .But our man 2 vintage will sort it .

[@masondunlap9417]

Hey man! I'm sure you don't remember this but that carb that's on your buggy is the same one I was saying could be a great swap for your grandpa's old goldwings! There's different sizes of it and such but it works great! I had one on my old GL1100. So the big long knob with the electrical connection is the fuel shut-off valve on the carb and the one up high on the other side is for your choke. If you blip the throttle before start-up, it'll turn the choke on and automatically turn itself off as it warms up as long as your driving or blipping the throttle. It has to come off that stepped lever the throttle rests on. The plate with 3 screws by the choke can adjust how long the choke stays on. You may be able to dial that back a bit and have it shut off way sooner and get less smoke that way, idk. Either way, do your research on those carbs, they're weird but they're great once you understand them. Different from any mikuni or kehin I've ever seen. Love your videos man, your a big inspiration to me. Keep it up!

[@trailtrashgarage]

As someone who owns and loves classic wings I’ve NEVER understood the hate for the Honda stock carbs?!?

[@masondunlap9417]

@Trail Trash Garage there was just a lot there. 4 carbs to rebuild and sync, not exactly simple. That's why I did it. 1 carb to clean, lighter, easier, and it actually gave it a pretty good sound too!

[@ScottAnderson-bh6fm]

If you continue getting oil in the air filter, check the.The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve is a simple system that introduces filtered fresh air into the crankcase. The PCV valve uses the engine's vacuum to pull air through the crankcase and reintroduce it back into the intake manifold system.

Its a vw…….

[@jasongedney4911]

I THINK THATS THE TUBE TUBE NEXT TO THE OIL CAP, UP TO THE AIR FILTER BASE PLATE. BLOW-BY IN THE CASE HEADS UP THAT TUBE AND IS DRAWN BACK THROUGH THE CARB TO BE BURNT AGAIN. PRE EMMISIONS DAYS! BEFORE THIS THEY RAN DOWN DRAFT TUBES THAT DUMPED BLOW-BY RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE ROAD

Joe - those ole “Rail Jobs” are really fun to cruise around down here for most of the year; we don’t get the Real Winters you all endure up there. I guarantee that if you put Vinnie in MintyJade’s lap & cruise the backroads, the 3 of you will have an absolute blast. the open cockpit & airflow makes it the primo Vinnie Mobile, especially when he gets used to it & you’re not worried he’ll try to bail out. I do suggest looking into some bolt-on (tractor type) fenders if you decide to keep it for a season. a few tabs welded on would make for an easy install. I’ve ridden in one with front & rear fenders & it was more comfortable. it also had an NA Subaru engine with a 5-speed trans & safely cruised at 70 mph. it got a little shaky at higher speeds, but accelerated like a beast. I hope you get’er right and safe & enjoy it with the fam for a little while before parting with it. they’re The Vehicle of Choice for dogs & kids…and they’re never wrong.

Hi Joe I love the vids and cool buggy, the wire in to what you thought was a sensor on the carb is a fuel cut of solenoid run of twelve or six volts depending on you electrical system.

[@mrvoorhees2627]

@@2vintage I've always been told 20w 50 for air-cooled vw engines that could be why it's burning oil

[@Arcusfp1]

Use a thicker oil, 5w is way too thin for an older engine. As the engine and oil heat up, you will get less leakage. I always used a non detergent straight 30 weight oil. Detergent oil has additives that help keep dirt and carbon in suspension, which is usually good because the oil carries the debris to a filter to remove it. VW air cooled engines only have coarse strainer, no fine particle filter. You want the dirt and other particles to drop out of the oil so it doesn't keep circulating in the engine. That is why you change the oil much more frequently. Also double check your dipstick, unless it has an extended oil pan or filter added on, they usually hold less than two quarts of oil.

On the vw engine design contributes to smoking - the horizontal cylinder layout of VW Beetle engines means that some oil tends to sit on the lower side of the cylinder rather than draining completely into the sump. This can lead to more oil entering the combustion chamber, especially if the car is parked at an angle.

[@neutonrenda2303]

EMPI parts are the best aftermarket performance parts for VW. That is probably a short shifter, reducing the movement needed to shift gears.👍

[@PSBEadventures]

Should be able to loosen the 3 little screws on the choke clock spring, ice cold, switch off, rotate until choke just starts to crack open, right at the point it starts to open, that should be good. I want to say that wire should have 12v on it while the ign is on always. The voltage heats the spring windings and allows it to open. A weber works that way as well.
