went shopping at one of my favorite places, the scrap yard. and sitting out front was this torn apart 2000 watt gen set , I decided to take a chance on it so lets see what we got and if it could be brought back to life for next to nothing.
also at the end is some footage of our spring dust off for our local vw clubs. the weather was not great but the people sure were.

    If you have gas with 10% ethanol, pour it into a glass jar and add water,agitate the mixture and let it sit overnight. The water and alcohol will settle out and you can siphon off the pure gas.

    I love these videos. Over the past year I’ve found Vice Grip Garage, Junkyard digs, and this channel. I know zero about engines but damn…a guy can dream.

    I still can't believe he sold Crustie.
    You'd have had to wait till I died to get it away from my dead cold hands.

    As you have bare wires hooked to your battery and gas right next to it spilled all over your bench, if I was your insurance agent I’d cancel your policy.

    As I was told when I worked for New York telephone, ’No job is so important, no task is so urgent that the time can’t be taken to do it safely.”
