Break down Maint. on the side of the trail is always a nightmare.
I recently had my throttle cable break off at the S hook and ended my fun.
When I got home I decided to remove the entire pedal assembly and look things over. My clutch cable was badly worn along with the clutch hook.
Welded that hook up and put on a new clutch cable. It's all working like new again.

​@TheEZGZ Hey, Uncle EZ. Good to see you out and Vdub busy 😊. I'm looking to fit an electronic fuel pump to my bug 1600 engine, which is with 34 PICT-3 carb stock. My question: is something with 3-5 psi or 4-7 psi ok to use. Just want to pair a healthy combination. Thanks for all your knowledge...it goes light-years for all of us followers, I'm sure ❤

@@romans3.25propitiation you want normally no more than 3psi for most carbs. So if you run higher than 3psi, you’ll need to have a fuel pressure regulator.

I wish these parts collectors you talk about would help out some of us other VW people. But we're stuck sourcing junk parts that don't last. But there's always that one guy with parts that they will "someday need" and we have to wait for an estate sale. I'm glad there are those that share their knowledge such as yourself. That's more valuable than anything.

Good to see you again EZ. Seen those worn "hooks" that pull the clutch cable worn like that many times when building the sandrails from well used VWs.. I've built the hook back up with weld, grind and file and there're good as new.

Just enjoy life Greg. I remember one time I was 20 miles from home and broke a throttle cable. Of course I didn’t have a spare. So I ran the cable through the deck lid (72 beetle), around the outside of the car to the window. Put some vice grips on it for a handle. Yes it scratched the paint a little, but it got me home. I learned that day to always carry a spare cable. Lol. Have a great day sir!

Sometimes we ran hydraulic clutches on our sand cars. They take away the feel of contact dramatically. Then there was the issue with the clutch master cylinder?? Where would you mount that on a stock sedan without being in the way of the brake master and lines? PITA to check fluid level and blah blah blah

At $13 dollars , it would be hard to not have a spare one on hand . . I use movie studio 14 , it is easy to stich videos together , but may be harder to find , I do not like the newer versions of it . Also there is davinci resolve for free , but the new version takes some good hardware to run . But can find the older versions . But all takes a learning curve , that is why i still use my old version of movie studio . It is still like vegas pro was.

Hello, I seen you had a video from about 8 years ago about steam boiler’s. I was wondering if there are anymore information about them. I work with boilers all the time at work and wanting to try to make one on my own. Power is hard to get when it snows. Any help would be appreciated.

My old boss who started that project after retiring ran out of steam and just got fat and lazy since then. I leave it up to inspire people to come up with something on there own. Getting a UL listing approval and general lack of knowledge about steam safety makes it tricky. Sounds like would be smarter than average about that sort of thing.
