I had a 1500cc 12v 1968 vintage lots of fun working on it.the accl jet Was a common problem ,it would come out whilst running as long as you kept engine running it would get beat to fine pieces and end up in the oil filter. But if the engine stalled as you pulled off the engine would jam! Always found it in number 2 cylinder jammed between piston and cylinder wall

It's a strange feeling for me to see you doing all those things I did back in the 1960s. I bought a brand new '61 beetle and ran it hard, including rallying and gymkhanas, etc. I did my own brake jobs, valve jobs and complete engine rebuilds. After I left the States in 1965 my mom drove it for a few more years until it rusted away. Enjoyed the video, as always.

The signs of blow by might be historic, especially if you say the engine might have been in a bus. The deceased owner sounds as if he was knowledgeable and might well have retorqued the bolts back then. A nice honest Beetle.

Mustie1 - you remind me of my dad. He was a vw specialist in the 60s and 70s and he made sure us kids all had vws to learn to drive in. I took it a stage further because I used to drive them too hard and soon learnt how to swap out engines and fix them up. I also used to do my own maintenance under his watchful eye. The things you do are pretty much what I was taught. Dad died 30 years ago and I miss his mechanical guidance. Your vids are therefore very nostalgic for me. Now to undo the rear wheel nut on a vw you have to "dance on the end of a three foot shifter". I still have the shifter but no vw I am afraid. You video brings back fond memories of fixing my bug with my dad. There are many elegant design subtleties in the bug that you get to appreciate when you look after the mechanical side of things.

Hi Mustie 1 my wife wants to be an old car just to get the same attention as your great videos. I enjoyed very much the Farmall A videos. I´m working on a IH B 275 tractor right now very similar to the Farmall even it´s a diesel. I learn a lot be seeing your way of working. Thumbs up on your comment on restoring old machinery. Some vehicles get restored to a level much higher than they were as brand new. And most of them is just standing around! I also liked you not doing the tv show! Live free.... Love the way you work with the old stuff even you don´t know exactly how they are put together. I saw all the Rustauration episodes on the 1959 single cab!!! Great! Look forward to see more! Thanks a lot!

Hello yes. Here in Brazil, all new cars come out of the factory with the "Flex" system, that is, cars can run on "Ethanol or Gasoline." Usually we use ethanol on a day-to-day basis because it is cheaper. of Interlagos, musclecars such as the "Opal - Chevrolet" compete for race tests called "Old Stock", the engine only runs on "Ethanol" for giving more power to the engine, but gasoline causes the car to go further Km per liter. We also produce Ethanol from Sugar Cane. Big hug!

That's true, I have relatives there in the USA and they tell me how things usually happen around. Brazilians generally like the Beetle because here big imported American cars are very expensive and the vast majority can not buy. The Beetle came with a proposal to achieve cheap and easy maintenance and so took over the country. We love this car for ease of maintenance in a chaotic situation and as our roads are not very good this car always proves its resistance, we have thousands of these around here is very common. Here in Brazil the rarest to find are the 68 models, our model 68 would be equivalent to the 60 model of your country. I myself have a year 1978. But at the moment I'm looking for a Dodge Charger, this is very rare here.

Sweet car. Makes me miss my 72, which got wrecked. Starting to get vw fever. Speaking of ingesting metal into an engine, my 83 Mercedes diesel grenaded it’s turbo compressor wheel about 75000 miles ago, and has run ever since with no engine work except a rebuilt turbo. The engine was affected since it starts hard when cold and idles rough but she’ll still cruise all day long at 75. Love your videos, keep it up.

Fun watching your videos , have not worked on an air cooled bug in over 25 years . Bent my half inch Craftsman breaker bar on a real axle nut , impact did not move ut at all . I had to use a 1" cutoff disk on mototool and cut two side of nut ! Many people do not think about brake flex lines . Good rule of thumb is replace after 20 years or so . I had one on my 73' shorty van turn into a check valve that locked my right front wheel in heavy traffic . Lucky for me my posi rear end and but small block was able to skid the tire into a parking lot where I could loosen the blead screw .

Mustie you did get things done, improved the engine compression, the carb impulse jet, the generator drive, some adjustments, and replaced the brake flex lines + adjustments. Shame the master cylinder end became leaky, but better it fail now than later. The engine seems happier now :-D R.I.P pivot drive bar :-(

Brings back memories of when I used to help my old man, 50 plus years ago. My job when it came to brakes was to work the foot pedal, he would shout "down" I would push the pedal down and call back to him "down" Then "up" until he called hold it down while he locked off the bleed. It was also my job to keep the master cylinder topped up. The first we saw of an auto bleeder was a clear tube which I seem to recall had a ball bearing tightly fitted inside but had to have the open end in a jar which always had to have brake fluid in it so as not to draw air back into the system. Iam still trying to get my head around how adding or taking away shims on the pulley increases or decreases the distance between the pulleys. Great stuff.
@majormojo
@majormojo 6 жыл бұрын
AJC, the pulley halves are tapered to match the “v” shape of the belt. By adding/removing shims in between, the v is widened/narrowed. When the gap is narrowed, the belt runs up more toward the outside of the pulley, adding more tension. The shims change the effective diameter of the upper pulley.

Nice restore. It was kinda shocking to see how the brake lines got crushed by sloppy towing hookups... I hope that happened after the car was put out of service, .... it'd definitely be a friggin' bummer to get a flat, then need a towing company to come and get the car and hook it up like that and drag it over to the tire shop and they fix the tire then the customer gets in and drives away and then goes over cliff or something because of the loss of rear brakes.... something like that :-)

I've seen TONS of flex lines that are plugged. The ones that really suck are those that hold the brakes on for that wheel with the plugged line. I think it's cheap rubber lines from the mid nineties/early 2000's, they seem to be better now. In my neck of of the woods most the VW owners are not made of money so it's about keeping the customers car on the road, not restoration, I've tightened the lower 4 nuts on many a vw before doing the valve adjustment.

I always press the brake pedal after adjusting the brakes it helps seat the shoes and I usually need to adjust a little more after.

I remember seeing, at some point in the "will it run" video on this car, you pulling a brass nozzle out of the carb.

Hey mustie1 long time fan here and as I also have been tinkering on aircooled vw since the early 80's do you agree with fuel line hose clamps between the fuel pump and the inlet on the carb as a way to keep fires and loss of our beloved vw's from happening?

I've just bought a 1972 Bug in Silver. It's original untouched, left in garage unused and not started since 2003 I can't wait to get it collected! Any trips on starting?
