I helped my friend buy the vw bug from another friend, then offered to tow it home with my 1959 split window pickup. after it was home we proceeded to get it running . to follow the restoration please follow Brian as he learns how, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWP7XAzqBow
picking up a bug with another one , that's a labor of love .
When circumstances dictate you adjust the valves while the engine is hot, should you increase or decrease the gap, and by how much?
I guess I could figure it out myself by adjusting the valves cold, then running the engine and measuring the clearance with the engine hot…but I was hoping someone out there in Mustie land might already know this.
Look, that car wore out a million miles ago. Try using the computer you are now looking at to find a nice metallic blue VW that is only a few years old. They DO exist!
Volkswagens are popular in Mexico and Brazil. There must be thousands of guys who can fix a VW who have waded across Joe Biden's open border. I'm sure YOU can find one, who can use the work.
I don't care if this video is 5 years old. This channel is a treasure trove of information for the amateur mechanic/home tinkerer.
Cool
You started it perfect. I had more than and most of my friends had em. NOBODY. Knew for certain how to start em. You could tell the BSer by their bragging on the perfect method. There were thousands of VW inde shops in the US. Never did I or anyone get the secret.
That was a great video! I've always loved those VW Bugs and am fortunate enough to have one
just like that one.
That's a '64 Bug at the newest
LOVE your beetle and bus videos! Had a '62 beetle as my first car back in the early 70s, so they mean a lot to me. Ever hear of this one? I was driving it about 50mph out in the country and the left rear wheel came off, pushed through the fender and rolled out into a field as I skidded to a stop – seeing sparks shoot out the back in my side mirror. We found the wheel and what happened was the cottar key worked itself out of the axle nut and the whole assembly came off. Luckily the nut and cottar key were still in the hubcap, so we got it put back together and I was on my way. Ordered a new fender and was good as new.
Hello Mustie 😊 do you do new vw videos anymore? I hope you do 👍
Favk yeah
Love these videos!
