Hello List! Ive got a 1972 VW Beetle A few questions that John Muirs Book has shed little light on for me. When I open the gas cap should it be sucking air? Ive got a vacuum in there. Its been doing this since I replaced all the gas vapor recycling hoses. They were all original and cracked. I...

Hi Group, I need to remove the pins from the door hinges of my 77 vert. Any body got any experience with this? I have tried banging them out with a punch and hammer. They didn't budge and I'm concerned about ruining the rivets and/or door to hinge connection. Can they be pressed out? What's the...

I'm looking for a ready to run (all accessories) type 1 used engine for use in testing an aircraft propeller. I would like to get 100hp at around 3500 rpm (I'll have a gear reduction so my prop speed will be lower). I don't need a rebuilt engine as this will just be run on a test stand. I'm not...

I performed open heart surgery on her (rebuilt the 2000cc fuel injected engine) and she ran like a beast...in warm weather. Then, the Connecticut winter hit. We messed around with the throttle, on a whim, and now she'll start, run for about 10 seconds (like normal) and then quit. The strangest part...

I rebuilt my carb over the weekend. It's a Solex 30-PICT 3. It's running ... okay. But still a little chuggy - and when I am running high in gear (just before I would switch) it gurgles a little bit like it's hungry. One thing I noticed is that it's not quite as springy as before. That is,...

I'm replacing the top for my Karmenn Ghia Convert. The old owner had taken the back window out, and I'm guessing it was glass. I see that Jbugs sells tops. They state that at 1969 1/2 there started to be a glass window. Apparently it was designed to fold down with the top. They advertise tops...

Hi, It's me again. I have two upgrades on my mind for my 1972 bug. The first one is the cilinder+piston upgrade in my previous post, and the second is the purchase of an adjustable puma beam. How would the car behave with standard shocks if lowered? I guess the guys at hoffmann-speedster.com don't...

anyone in this group drive one everyday? -- Karma, What a concept!

I think I found the problem on my engine ratle, I removed the generator belt and started te engine for a short time (since there is no cooling with generator belt off) and all sounded fine. Shut off engine. Spinned the generator with one hand, and try to feel the fan with the other. The fan seems...

I have been bidding /watching a used early 80's blue dot radio to put in my 74 bug. I can't believe the thing ended up selling for almost $80! Add shipping & its almost $100. I think that is crazy! Why are these old radios so valuable?
