Engine won't turn over by
areyouwireless
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...

NO OIL! This late box has a special grease in it.
Normally, the box never needs grease added or replaced.
