[@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

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.

[@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

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.

[@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...

[@Mr.M1STER]

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.

When you pull these old vehicles like this from the woods/barns/yards and the old fuel has been sitting in the tank for decades, what is your “go to method” for cleaning that old sludge out of the fuel tank? I recently bought a 1927 Buick that had a frame off restoration in the early 2000’s and the previous owner passed away in Dec 2004, it’s been sitting with gas (now varnish!!) in the tank ever since!!!! I really do not want to disassemble the back half of the car to drop the fuel tank, it has a drain in the bottom of the tank but the gas is literally varnish now and it has about 1-2 inches of a tar like sludge in the bottom of the tank!! Again, I know I CAN drop the tank but again I really don’t want to disassemble the back 1/2 of the car to drop the tank unless it’s a last resort! I am heading down to the car now to use a manual transfer pump to pump out the 1/2 tank of old gas (varnish) and then per a recommendations a friend who restores cars I am going to mnaullu pump 2 gallons of Carb dip/Chem Dip into the tank and see if it will break down the sludge and varnish on the walls of the tank.... Any recommendations are greatly appreciated besides, “Drop the tank”!!

I stop this video right before you looked at that chair that, scared half to death he's going to find a body or something laying underneath there. I liked to of threw up again when you lifted that top up. I thought OH man THAT craps falling all over him! Okay!!! Had to stop watching mustie1 at 23:15. Almost puked when you made that spitting sound because I THOUGHT OH my Goodness!!that stuff with his mouth. Sorry buddy I said I'd watch all of them this is one of my can't finish. Okay it's like the scary movies you just can't stop watching. Oh my word dude I can't believe that thing turned over. Thanks for the entertaining morning mustie1 although oh, now I feel like I need to shower and I just took a shower this morning before I started watching this video.

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.

That damn thing fought for survival

[@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.

broken english to the extreme

@@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.

That is one beautiful bus you got yourself.

He can attest to the quality of VW locks!!😁

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.

[@mattbrown5511]

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