What I was trying to say is that just about any starter motor will overheat when cranked excessively. Every vehicle I have owned or operated should not have the starter motor cranked over for more than 15-20 seconds to prevent overheating, then let the motor cool down for a bit.

[@brucedickey5155]

I'm glad KZbin suggested one of your videos again a few days ago. I watched this one over a year ago and didn't even remember your name. Then, after fifteen videos and the VW bus connection, it dawned on me I'd seen you before Mustie 1. I've watched close to 20 in the last few days. Having a great time. Thanks for the vids. You even got me going on recovery of an old Murray riding mower I gave my son and after a few years it quit, so I gave him another used one I had. I got the old Murray Auto Riding Mower home today, listened to a Cushman Scooter video on the way home. Cheers.

Mustie 1 : Oh so the body is scrap , so sad , wow $4,000 for parts enough to scare the pants off anyone lol

[@mustie1]

answers to common questions, starter was cranked no more then 60 seconds then cooled down 15 min between tries, engine spun by hand, oil was clean, l used an oil/gas mix poured into the carb then cranked, the valves were not seating at 1st , so it took a while for the compression to come back, the bus is just for parts to save my other buses. the rusted panals are junk so l did not care about using a crow bar on them, the bus was parked back in 1986 do to being too rusty for the road, and last thanks to everyone who watched, if l knew this video was going to go viral l would have put more effort into the filming,

[@14598175]

What gives VW engine's that hallmark sound?

[@cardboardboxification]

14598175 mostly the muffler, probably compression, and cam duration, maybe fan noise and being air cooled no water around the cylinders adding to the mix

Being a boxer layout is what gives it the sound, same as a BMW motorbike.

My first car was A 1979Volkswagen 4 door panel van type 2 second generation , I was 14 years old when it was given to me , living in Puerto Rico . Born and raised there , passed on to me by my father but then sold, two years later right before we moved here to The US . I’m now 44 . This vid reminds me of that 1st car, I should say 1st van I was given . I can’t believe how easily theses VW van/buses can resurrect from so many years of inactivity literally frozen in time. I can’t help also but to wonder as I watch this vid, if my 1st van still alive or has she bitten the dust for good .

[@aday1637]

Great video. I had a red 71 brand new I bought when I got out of the Army. Did a cross country trip in it. Melted a piston on the PA turnpike near Greensberg after a routine VW 6000 mile service appointment where the mechanic forgot to tighten the oil drain plug, thereby causing the engine to all but seize up. Stayed in The General Green Hotel for a week while the local VW dealer there rebuilt the engine and told me what caused the problem. I still remember they charged me $75 for new plugs, gaskets and oil none of which were included in the warranty. I'm still peed over it.

That's a really strong steel rope and that pulling motor is really powerful. Even loading it is such a great task in itself. A big errand taking it and then starting it. Volkswagen obviously had to fit engine at the most difficult to reach place and you reached it. Worth a lot of appreciation.

Sounded like it was hitting on all four at the end there. Whatever valve was stuck seemed for free up once it fired.

[@pikeywyatt]

it will it will there you go magic..

[@gosportjamie]

It rather sounded like a stationary engine when it started to fire but it eventually kicked onto all four. It just needed a bit of fire to get the stuck valve moving again. If that is a factory rebuilt engine that hasn't done much between being put in and the bus getting parked it should be a good motor. A decent service and I reckon it'll run as good as new...

[@JayDillon-mm6yv]

We have an old trash pile on our property that I didn't know about until a few years ago. One day I was down in the brush and noticed this junk pile. Now we'd been living here for a good 40 years, and before that, no one had been using that place for 10 or 20 years so the old incandescent light bulb I found, sitting on top of some rusted stuff, was just sitting there exposed to wind, rain and snow for a good 50 years or more. I brought the light bulb into the house, screwed it into a light socket and flipped it on. That light bulb still worked! It was one of the most amazing events of my life. I mean that junk pile was in amongst small trees that had been growing up on that stuff for decades and decades. Nobody had gone down there for many decades and it was totally overgrown. Well I guess you would suspect I'm making it up but it really did happen. The light bulb worked for a few months and then quit on me.

[@alanspring8462]

What you didn't know under this pile of junk is a Indian burial ground that brought the lightbulb back to life. White eyes

I always enjoy these adventures ! Reminds me of the projects I' was involved in over the years of course as a young one we didnt have all the high tech gear or nowledge often we used a hillbilly tow system that was a heavy duty chain Fed thru a 8' pipe that we bolted onto the bumpers the pipe in theory allowed the tow vehicle to help brake the vehicle being towed as long as the driver kept the car in line with the front car After too many close calls i did wind up buying a actual tow bar that Was set up fo a VW but could wok on other Foreign cars with some Adapters and grade 8 bolts i actually towed a MG over 100 miles with it and still own the bar today like you its pulled many VW types very well

[@airplaneengine]

NICE! For the fun of it, I've gotten junk yard 8-tracks to play before. Looked to be in about the same condition as the yours. Of course, I didn't just pop them in, they need to be opened up, unwound and rewound back into the cartridge. A little rough here and there but didn't sound as bad as your would imagine. Hope you save the stereo, might be worth restoring as well.

VHS or Beta Giving the throttle some pumpage is a good idea though when starting an engine that hasn't run for a while. Obviously don't redline it if it starts but it may need a certain amount of throttle to stay running and then later it will probably idle on its own.

[@Shane-Singleton]

VHS, Not sure if you mean that Mustie does this or other people. He's probably pouring 2 stroke fuel right down the throat of the carb like he does for most of his starts so it may be revving on its own since there's probably little to no actual metering happening from the carb. That and the carb is probably full of junk and useless anyway without a cleaning/rebuild. At least he uses two stroke fuel which has some lubrication built into it. That and given the fact that after that many cranks there should be oil circulated throughout as long as the pump is good. I know for sure that Mustie always checks the oil. I totally agree though with people jumping up and down on the throttle and trying to rev the crap out of it the second it fires. First there's likely no fuel in the carb float bowl anyway, So even if it had a working accelerator pump it it wouldn't squirt anything. Seems like every old carb has a hard accelerator pump these days so it'd still be a moot point. lol. Now if somebody filled the float bowl up then they could potentially use the throttle to rev it. But... I'd hope that if they were smart enough to actually fill the bowl that they'd know better. Well...... Who am I kidding. The world is full of people that don't always do good research before acting. lol. Either way.. Love Mustie's first start videos.

I worked VW dealerships in LA Ca. during the 1960s and '70s. I specialised in Type 3s and Type 4s as well as all fuel injection. I studied Bosch fuel injection under one of the German engineers who developed it for Robert Bosch Co in Germany. I was the first VW mechanic in the USA to attend school on the 411 and 412 model. I will never forget our Type 2 specialist, Bart Fillman, a long hair bearded hippy who new more about buses than anybody in the western USA. When he first tried a job at almost every VW dealership in the LA area he was refused employment. Finally he got a professional short hair wig fitted and Ogner VW hired him. After he had been there about two months he came in without the wig. By that time management realized how much he knew and had no problems with his hair. I loved working on VWs but wanted to go back to Japan, my wife's home, so I left VW and went to Toyota for training. When I went back to Japan I worked at a Japanese garage where I was paid very well as the European auto specialist rarely working on Toyotas.

He just didn't really give up huh, it pays anyway. Thumbs up

[@TedBishop1]

this video never gets old its one of the best on KZbin

[@Del-Canada]

Found one of those in a wooded clearing one time years ago that had a bunch of dead hippies in it.

[@AmesiesCorner]

Was this this morning? A lot of cool stuff has been on that trailer.

[@mustie1]

friday we got it

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Hey, do you ever come to the west coast (Of Mass that is?) There is a sonnet for sale in North Adams Mass if you are ever in that neck of the woods.

[@elizabethscruggs6834]

Dude. You need an electric winch. That's a nice trailer and worth the investment. Love the van!! Looks like most of the original insides are there.

[@mustie1]

has one now

[@mattbrown5511]

Not a bad price for a decent engine and some miscellaneous parts. Good luck with the engine.

[@RockinRob69]

*Sounds like an old John Deere tractor*

[@CTmoog]

I watched this two years ago! Just wanted it again! =)

[@inayat4339]

When u just realize u have spent 1hr and 13 minutes of ur life watching this video including part2

[@Hellhound628]

*starts engine *kills it *walks up to camera "Heh!" *Starts it again 😂😂

[@chrismad1344]

I love this VW Can but what I did on mine, it was first I removed and clean the Gas tank! New gas filter, clean and check gas pomp !them new hoses! New spark plugs cables, coil, battery! Brakes, carburetor clean etc, after all, I did in my Van I try to turn the engine on! First, try works like new

[@johnlove8449]

In a shop - yes - even in my driveway or at the curb. BUT man they are in the dirt

[@jdbinch2829]

This is giving me Lost vibes. The van is also about the same age as the van that they fixed in Lost.

[@Mre942]

Just so you know, you shuld never dust of old brakes with pressure air if you don't wear any breath protection, they will most likely contains asbest.

[@ChrisBlagdonIsABoss]

broken english to the extreme

[@Mre942]

@@ChrisBlagdonIsABoss probably from my phone, but you understand anyway, that's the importent part xD

[@SkigBiggler]

@@Mre942 apparently the risk of asbestos actually comes from the breaks, tyres don’t, and rarely did, contain asbestos, which makes sense since asbestos is mostly used for its thermal properties.

[@charlytorres9476]

Es impresionante que después de más de 30 años arranque no hay duda que los VW son lo máximo y felicidades al dueño del vídeo va hacer una excelente restauración 👍

[@zakapturzonydzony7812]

Thank you for saving another VW Bus. I hope that he will leave the garage with his own wheels...My dad have 77' combi Bus....that's a good car.... Greetings from Poland.... :)

[@leongailberger7676]

Zakapturzony Dżony he is using it for parts...

[@joethe2nd280]

Do you suppose the oil looked clean because the dirt had so much time to settle?

[@queenofyeay]

I guess it's possible, but I don't think so, I think that the oil had been changed regularly in that bus and it had been changed recent to it being parked. I have seen plenty of old oil on dipsticks that is black as black can be after sitting for many many years.

[@101Volts]

@MISTERComaToes I agree, my Grandpap had a 41 Dodge which hadn't been started for over 10 years and the oil in it looked black when I looked at it.

[@DJdoublevision]

sold with recent service ........ lol

[@lostmic]

I love his determination to get it running before the video ends amazing! I was rooting for her too lol

[@timfotiks]

engine sound is like Donald Duck))))) i dont understand 90 % of speeсh, but it is so interesting to watch this video! Subscribe and like! im from Russia, sorry for my English)))

[@justacaraddict2916]

Don't apologize! Your English is better than that of the American youth today. ;)

[@timfotiks]

Thanks!

[@kristencook3440]

Ya bro u good at English

[@-DC-]

still less rust than my 2009 sprinter.

[@nov3019892008]

Smell the weed

[@TechTimeWithEric]

Man, those Sprinters are completely rotted out within 5 years, at least in my area.

[@camarokurt]

Must be like the Ram trucks. Sheet metal is so thin, there is no such thing as surface rust. Once you see any rust, that's it. No metal left.

[@richierich515O]

Thanks for the video Mustie1. Looking forward to watch the next video.

[@tangoandcars9588]

At least pink Floyd survived.

[@rockinrowdy13]

The van was probably built the same time DSOTM came out...that could be an original 8 track lol

[@Bumbaclot213]

rockinrowdy13 and would probably be worth money in good shape

[@FlorianR98]

@@rockinrowdy13 It's TDSOTM...

[@enmunos]

amen

[@BlackEpyon]

Na. Anybody who sings "We don't need no education," can rot with the rest of them. I'd much rather have seen what the other 8-tracks had.

[@stetsongray1975]

Eye protection? Nitrile gloves? Jacques Cousteau diving bell for protection from witches brew spraying out of brake drum?

[@504RoadTrips]

Eric Mumford a little asbestos dust never hurt anyone! Hell, Kent cigarettes used asbestos in their filters for a cooler smoke back in the 60s!

[@rikpeol3612]

Interesting how this old machine is fighting for its second life. Good luck with the restoration!
