Hi Folks, I have recently purchase a 69 VW beetle for my wife (candy apple red - her toy car) The vehicle was running fine until the battery died. I just charged it up, and it looks to be fine (headlights turn on, horn works, etc). However the engine won't turn over. I don't have a repair manual...

Is there any difference in a Auto Stick carb. and a standard shift carb.?

what a great show today. There was alot of VWs there today, could have been near 200. I haven't seen a turn out like this in many years. Very nice weather. And yes another one of the VW's I did won. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2238467680101866121VcZyXF couldn't have asked for a better...

I installed a factory new engine and replaced all electrical, ignition and fuel distribution system components this Dec.-Jan. Never reeally got everything running right, but acceptable at times. The engine sounded "restrained" if that's a proper way to describe it, and it had major hesitations in...

Just curious if anyone else has run across this problem before.. My son's bus was recently overhauled and it ran great for the past six months but now whenever you step on the throttle it doesn't respond at higher rpms. It idles fine and responds to quick throttle inputs while sitting in...

I was just reading Ken's Buggy Barn web site in preparation of doing a tune-up on my VW. I have a 1600 CC type 1 engine with a 009 distributor. I have a couple of questions for my clarity of your instructions. Ken, or anyone else who can answer, I take it that the 32 degrees calculation you did...

Does anyone have any pictures or diagrams of something good for setting the body of my super beetle on. I was going to just build a square frame out of wood and put some casters on it, but the drivers side rocker is shot and I'm not sure how well it would set on there, and I'll need to get at the...

Has this group almost died or is everyone busy with something else?

I'm about to start rebuilding my 1200cc motor. I've done a lot of research, read a few books (including the Bentley Bible),and watched a few engine rebuilding videos. There seems to be some difference of opinion concerning the rear main seal. Some advocate applying glue on the outer edge of...

We were rebuilding these carbs and when we out it back together the acceleration circuit wasn't pumping any gas out of the nozzle. When we were rebuilding them we removed the little brass cap in the float chamber and there was a little silver ball and a black plastic plunger. We put it together...

Hi Jim. I went backwards on an url you posted to a .gif for a coil booster relay, and then came across a pic of you age 4 with a radio. Take a look at this and tell me what you think: http://www.shopatron.com/product/product_id=THK620219/272.0.256.0.0.0.0 Worth the price? A tad steep me thinks,...

A great story as originally told by Mr. Bob Hoover He came down the back drive just before midnight on Christmas Eve. I was out in the shop, about to call it a night when I heard the unmistakable sound of a Volkswagen running on three cylinders. Bad valve. It was an early model high-roof...
