[@ppellet4738]

In my teenage days I replaced the original carburetor with a Weber high performance carburetor. It wasn’t running properly, I went to see my trusted VW guru and said the problem is that your distributor is vacuum advanced and not compatible with your new carb. The solution was to replace the distributor with a mechanical advanced distributor, problem solved. What did I know at the time, I was only 16 at the time.

[@eugenebaroni1298]

Nice car. I know all about carb trouble have enough of my own. Have a great weekend...

[@5150mxVW]

[@Shane-Singleton]

Like a lot of women. She looks great online but when you actually get to know her you discover she has some issues. Just have to be willing to work through her particular set. I think 99% of the running problems will go away when you ditch that carb. Can't wait to see the update. Overall one of the nicest looking ones you've drug home.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I thought it sounded like it was running on three cylinders. 😂 yeah that seal around the engine compartment is vital. It keeps a lot of heat out. It’s honestly a nice car, those progressive carburetors are complete nightmare. . I always like the dashboard so much better without the vinylcap. Looking good my friend!

[@jeffskillman9275]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. From the first turn of the key, it sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders rather than a carb problem. Not a fan of the pan filter. I ran a 1302S (1600cc) with a Nikki twin choke carb with pan filter back in the 1980s and the manifold would freeze up until I added the cardboard pre- heat tube into the side of the filter.

hi jason nice 67 bug will make a nice car when you sort out the fuel system better off going back to a stock set up more reliable too good luck wih it

Look at that classy gas cap LOL Motor doesn't sound too hot, but it'll get going.

[@Hooknspktr]

Take that progressive off and pitch it in the bin. Never saw one stay running right. An H30/31PICT runs like butter with a 009. Not the biggest carb, but most reliable for a driver.

[@gazzafloss]

Nice bug Jason, get rid of that dual barrel carb and go back to stock, you know you want too. It has a bad misfire as well maybe points leads and plugs, possibly a stuck valve. Great pick up though, nice one to have...

Like it ,looks like some one did not want to pop out the windows when they put in the headliner. VERY FIXABLE!

[@JB91710]

3:22 "Hey we got AC!" That engine goes to show, you need to build with a well engineered complete kit rather than just adding pieces. Even with a Vintage VW Beetle, there is so much to know! I can understand the one thumbs down. I felt like I was suffocating listening to the engine trying to breath. I grew up in VT. You, live in colonial heaven.

[@michaeld_68]

Nice find !!!! She'll come around 👍

[@5150mxVW]

thank you Michael , I think so too

[@Zt3v3]

That screw you're thinking is supposed to be 1.5 turns out is actually an idle jet, not a mixture adjustment screw. Solex carbs have something similar, when you're having trouble getting a solex carb to idle and you crack that jet to get it to idle, it's not a permanent solution, although some guys will grind/file a line in the end of the jet as a band-aid.

[@eddiekilby]

That screw your were trying to adjust is the idle jet. That's the thing I like most about the weber carbs is the ez access of the idle jets. One thing I learned with mine is the air filter assembly that comes with them is junk. Needs a better air breather assembly.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

That saggy headliner bothers me more than the carb/distributor issue. :)

After about 10 hours of jetting and couple hindered bucks in jets those cabs work great. The problem is nobody wants to do that work and spend that kind of money.

[@chriskwakernaat2328]

as long as that filter has clamps on it , and is replaced when it's dirty , i have no problem with it.

[@5150mxVW]

you are one of the few :)

[@chriskwakernaat2328]

@@5150mxVW mostly 3 reasons for a fire , dirty filter with no clamps builds pressure and pushes off the hose. perforated hose from age/wear tube came out of the carb. Can always be avoided with regular inspection.

[@chrisballestrazze8577]

Sometimes an overlooked issue...how new is the gas?

[@5150mxVW]

good point Chris , I didn't take a whiff ....but these progressive carbs will not run right without the correct distributor and muffler heat from what i have read .

[@vwsandvettes3253]

Hi Jason. I believe the air adjustment (idle air speed) screw on that 32/36 DFV is actually at the base of the carb where it meets the manifold. I am not sure which side of the carb (the side you can get at or the fan shroud side!) the air speed screw is on. In the video it "looks" like there is a small hole at the base of the carb just above the support bracket. Could that be where the air speed screw was but fell out of? If you can get at the base of the front of the carb next to the fan shroud try to see if you can feel the screw head . The screw at the top of the carb you were turning is one of 2 idle jets. Each barrel of the carb has its own idle jet, and these should stay tight in the carb. Once you locate the air speed screw check that it isn't bent and is screwed 1.5 - 2 turns out. Good luck and nice '67 you have there!

[@5150mxVW]

Hi , yes I probably had my lingo wrong , I was able to turn the idle adjustment ( base backside ) with my finger and a screwdriver slid topside on the screw slot . I was thinking the idle jets were adjustable as well , I will screw them back in . From what i've read these carbs need the correct dizzy and muffler pre heat ....I'm going to go stock or duals . Thank you for the info , I appreciate it , have a great weekend .

thank you for info and correction👍

[@johnsiders7819]

Looks like they put a lot into it but they removed the heater stoves and all that pretty chrome holds heat can cause a overheating issue Did not know that until a VW guy pointed that out I put chrome rocker covers on mine the stock ones dissipate heat much better he said same for a fan shroud too .I’d get rid of that carburetor I fooled with one for a month and still was not right and cause heating issues put a p 1 on it and solved it all but hard to get parts for them looks like a non stock distributor the Porsche mechanical advance I always had the best luck with had a fancy dual point one once was nothing but trouble looks like a good start wish I still had the VWs I had as a teen and made dune buggy’s and Baja bugs out of .

That carb on the engine will give you gray hair. I think replacing it would be a good idea.

[@5150mxVW]

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

The car is nice, but it looks like it is the carburetor, I had a 1973 Super Beetle, it had a similar carburetor, and what a piece of junk that was it was so that I ended up putting a Volkswagen Solex Carburetor, that car runs like a charm, I sold that car the only that had to be done was a paint job, the car runs awesome, the engine I had it rebuilt with new OEM parts, the transmission I reached it cause it would pop out of gear, somebody gave me the 2 front buckets in their factory vynil,the person who bought it had it painted and he has a new car.

[@xshanghu]

Big law suit on original gas cap and placement. Current cap is heavy steel replacement.

[@5150mxVW]

ahhh, thank you

[@mikehammer4546]

I think you need to learn how the carb works first, I think the screw you were adjusting was a jet not a air mixture screw. Not sure though.

[@robewalk2]

I'm disappointed. No trees growing out of the new bug, no algae taking root, no dead possums or rusted out quarters or floor pans. At least there are some engine issues. Lol It does look pretty sweet I'll give it that. I'm sorry, I know you've said your name before in previous videos but due to my TIA I've forgotten. I'd would be cool if you could give your first name at the beginning of your videos, it'll be a great help to old coots like me. Looking forward to your next episode no matter what vehicle you'll be working on. You and yours stay healthy and safe and cheers from this old retired coot living in Tennessee.💖 👍 🍻 ✌

How old is the fuel? If not fresh , no older than month or two , As a rule for me, I always , empty / clean fuel tank and put fresh gas in before turning the key.

[@Mikefngarage]

Those extra wide rims on that car would look much better on a early car because they have more narrow axles. On that car they stick out too much Try them on an early car. you might like them better

[@5150mxVW]

it also has 14" Bus rims up front

[@GereDJ2]

Yes, quite right, an amateur resto-mod. Your 67 appears to be an early 67 due to the front seat-back release lever position at floor level. With that Weber type progressive two-barrel carb, expect about 18 mpg at best and a carb flat-spot upon acceleration. I know, I have one just like it. I expect the engine is a 1641cc slip-in kit. Add the matching cigarette lighter. Has after-market Mexican or Brazilian front fenders and probably explains why the spare well was redone. Missing it's original "Hella", chromed brass, SB-12 headlight trim rings. Incorrect rims and caps. Yes, running on 3 cylinders, probably a partially plugged idle jet, etc. You might also replace the heater on this, too. Otherwise, you have the basic makings of a nice 67 Bug.

[@kliller854]
