WILL IT RUN? - Budget Refresh Aircooled VW 1600 FIRST START - VINTAGE VOLKSWAGEN

Nate stops by to help Taylor finish the motor for the single cab. But will it run?

[@riverbluevert7814]

Generator, King Pins, Swing Axles, Single Circuit Brakes, Single Relief Crankcase, Non-Collapsing Steering Column: all the good things in life. 😃 Looking forward to the Single Cab road trip!

[@johnchambers12]

That rebuild sounds great. Now you replace parts and give it a go!

[@harryharker9564]

I never tire or listening to air cooled engine start ups !This one sounds really sweet.

[@muzzcovw7674]

Sounds good, nice muffler mod lol. But... put the oil baffle in the correct orientation when you convert to a Gen

[@ob1vw]

Caught that also. lol

[@danielspano3406]

Purrs like a kitten. 👍🏻

[@copkent1]

I'm fairly new to your channel and I have to say that hands down this is my favorite channel. Keep up the great work.

[@wickedwerks]

Welcome and thanks for watching! More stupidity to come 😂

[@dre4011]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....That's how I felt sometimes when I had my '72 Super when I was younger 20years ago....slapping fresh EMPI and CB PERFORMANCE and DELLORTO's on a 27yr old 1600 dual-port......"lots of lipstick on that pig"... but she ATE CIVIC's and ACCORD's like potato chips.....all they'd see was a a 4-vent decklid and THUNDERBIRD pipes making car-lengths!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Engine sounds great 👍!

[@ob1vw]

Love when you got sprayed. lol. Engine sounded good.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

With a alternator stand, you can use a generator also. Hopefully the exhaust valves in the heads are not original ones.

[@kennethbruffy7933]

Your budget refresh sounds 100% better than my old "70" sounds like.......

Hey, where is knucklehead? Haven’t seen him in a while.

[@wickedwerks]

Busy with personal stuff. Hoping to be back in the shop soon

[@jasonking6548]

Where's Ben. .? Has he gone on holiday by mistake...

[@TrixedOut]

Great video! Why did you plug the one side of the exhaust and only use the right side? Was it just to slap together something for the test or is there another reason?

[@wickedwerks]

Slap together to use it 😂

[@gerolds.1551]

Wouldn't it be helpful to adjust the ignition distributor correctly before trying to start an engine? I know you choose to adjust it by hand, but you turn it quite a lot....😏

[@wickedwerks]

Yeah probably, but sometimes I can’t be bothered. Especially when I’m using subpar used trash that I plan on taking off anyway.

[@gerolds.1551]

@@wickedwerks Anyway, I love your channel! Wicked Werks rocks!💪

[@danawick9817]

where did you get your engine stand??

[@wickedwerks]

The stand came from harbor freight, the yoke came from Vintage World Tools on thesamba. I made the switch panel

[@dalewyatt1321]

You started by saying you were going to play dress up and I saw that you had trousers on without holes in them so I just thought you'd been shopping for clothes.

[@wickedwerks]

I did! I currently have two pairs of pants in the total of five pairs that I own that do not have holes! Life is good 😂

[@twescher]

Does your beard smell like a lavender field?

[@wickedwerks]

This is my new favorite comment 😂
