Hey guys and how's it going hey we're going to continue on. I guess the working title is going to be fruity pebbles, the beetle, that we pulled out of a a swamp last summer and uh cleaned her out and then on the last video tore the engine out of it and got into that when we did so, we Found that the engine is totally junk, it was underwater and pretty much everything on it in it and around it was toast, so we're gon na go move on from this pile, and fortunately it came with another engine that was sitting in the passenger seat, so we're Gon na go swap and clean up this garbage i'll get this out of the way we'll bring that engine over and we'll see what condition that one's in at least that one turns a little bit where this one was just done. I popped this one up in the stand start investigating what we got. Hopefully, that's not a good sign.

You know i had a rag in it just got crossing it again that whole car was kind of corroded and rotten on the inside from sitting in the swamp. Yes, but it's not turning over all the way: let's uh grab a shop back and go suck off some of the crap. That's in there joke there and let's see mice here we got mice underneath the tins too, so we're not gon na get the plugs out. So we're gon na have to dig in all the way.

Anyway, we've got to get everything off of it to clear all that crap out to get the plugs out, so we're gon na have to strip it down. It's hoping to pull the plugs out, throw some oil on it, spin it over and do a compression test, but we're gon na have to do that with the sheet metal off of it. So, let's start digging, the chances are there's anything in it. For earl, that's got something good enough to spin it a little bit we're not going to run it with that, but just as long as the bottom end is wet all right.

So the first thing i want to get the fan shroud off, so you can take the belt off, so everything we did on the other engine just watch the other video. It's going to be the same thing all over again. Let me see if it has a thermostat, it does not. Thermostat would go up to the center of the engine tin and work louvers, and it would reside right in this area and it is not there.

Sometimes, they had ones that went over the fan too. On the outside, i do not see any apparatus for that all right, okay, so we're gon na be that screw screw on the other side, the band and the belt and we'll see if you can lift that fan shroud off and see what critters are living in It it comes off really easy. There's this a stud going through on the uh generator that you can put a screwdriver against and allows it not to turn while you're trying to untwist it. It has a bunch of shims behind it, and the shims are the adjustment for the belt.

Normally on on a i'm going to call it a normal car, you would take the generator and a generator would be on a slide that rotated around you tighten loosen the belt. Well, this is a fixed location generator, so you have shims you put in and you alter them from between the two halves to make them closer or further together for making the belt tighter or looser. That's how long it's been on there, but it wants to come off. It's been a day or two a general little spit.

I think it's got a mouse nest in it. Yeah all right guys. Uh got the bands on the back and then it's two screws on each side. One of the screws, it's spinning, so the nut that is on the sheet metal has broke loose on the inside and spinning around.

So we're gon na have to go cut that off yeah. This one just keeps spinning around that's broken off in there get a whiz wheel, just knock the head off of it, so you get that off of there yeah easier said than done. I think we're going to get a little persuasion on it with a pry bar all the mice are on the inside, holding it not letting it want to go up, no dude. Let me out see if we can make a little woman in there for that one to clear see it's all rotted out right there.

There we go we're in. Let's see what we get eviction day. This one looks about the same as yellow nobody living in there. Huh, oh my any corpuses.

Carp is corpses. Yeah, let's go hit that with the shop back it we. What we can often we'll get the intake off of there. Hopefully they haven't damaged too much.

Sometimes they get so much that it literally just rots the case. The piss urine really doesn't damage on things. Hopefully that's not the case on this one, the karma gear. One was like that it rotted out the case right in this area.

Let's go find out. Uh yeah we'll deal with that right now, then, with the intake out of the way and dig a little further get the tins off just dig some of it out by hand, that's solid. That would cause a slight overheating problem. Air is supposed to blow through there.

That's probably the biggest of stuff that sits at vault vw's. If people don't take them apart and they get them running, it's kind of what they are unaware of this, i think it took out the tins too. Tins are feeling kind of crunchy, and over here people talk about uh the mice and with the hannah virus is how you pronounce it. It's it's more a west coast thing new england doesn't have an issue with it, not that you want to screw around with it.

I think i'll kill you the leftovers from mice. I don't know how long it would live too. Being that you know this stuff is the this stuff went in here. You know 25 years ago this has been sitting here.

I don't know if a virus would last that long, but definitely when i go to take a air gun to it, wear a good hepa mask you get rotted the tin at the tins. Tin's gone from the piss all right, i'm gon na go take a vacuum for the rest of it get another way. Look like i took out the heater. The um oil cooler got it too rotted it right out that oil cooler is no good.

Well, unfortunately, that is not looking very promising. That's the top of the cylinder head and you can see all the corrosion and has happened to that. So um we may be on fail number two, but we'll see we'll keep going on it. This side does not look as bad, but definitely has a lot of that corrosion still going on.

Let's get the intake and carb out of our way, and we get these tins off and see what we actually got see how these crack loose for us good thing about a 40.. The intake manifold isn't arched over as much as like a 1500, so you could actually get a socket on this one and the other one. Those who saw that video that wouldn't really fought you yeah, it seems like it's going to make life a lot easier. The same on the other side, as you go wiggle that one out of there vacuum hose and a fuel line, let's go take a peek down those intake ports.

Let's see what they look like again. This engine did turn a little bit, so it can't be terrible. Oh, that jinx us right sitting right there in that one: that's bad yeah, a bunch of crap sitting in that one too, all right. Let's get these screws out.

Hopefully they come out and we can get these tins off of here and we'll know what we're dealing with we have any other. They don't have the front one that one doesn't have the front one yeah, just two on each side, looks like this one's probably going to break off, but let's go see, made the mistake hitting it lightly with an air gun. Can you tell i have a tool? I guess i have a tool: let's call that went. Oh boy, one just never sees have a tool called a shaken brick, it's good for stuff like this.

It's a little, you put it in an air hammer and that one's stuck you're gon na need it on that. One you put in an air hammer and it kind of puts a shock wave through it, while you're trying to turn it. I've showed it before, but we're gon na need it again. Let's go try it on this.

The one that's stuck right there, i'm gon na go, try the other two with a screwdriver first and we'll know you're doing one or three. You know one of the two came out the other side, so this called shaking brake. You put it in an air hammer, then it allows you to put down force wrapping on it and then you can turn out while you're doing it and the bits you can just change the bits out to any of you know your regular. You know impact driver bits go in there.

I think it comes with some too. I'm not sure i should get commissioned. Let's go, try it on that. So broke the bit going bigger, but it was gon na snap.

Anyway, let's go try the other one. So i think that one that one breaker did turn no. We got it what's nice is. It puts a little like i said, like a shock wave down, so you put down pressure, so it doesn't want to rip out and it kind of shocks it down the length of its sketch screwdriver see 90 of the time it works there.

You go. Let's go this side off should be the better of the two see how bad this one is she's packed in pretty good, and this is the side that i know is screwed get on this. Oh, it does have a tin. I better bend that one through.

Oh yeah, the area i'm concerned about is is all this right here: let's get it vacuum clean that one up see what that one looks like yeah that was so crowded, crowded corroded. I had to go dig around it with a screwdriver to get all that white powder out of there. You can see more of it coming out. I want to go get that plug out right, hey.

What do you think our chances are of that? I think that's going to be pretty much screwed. I think it's going to take threads with it. They uh have problems on a good day. Much less of this uh.

I think we're gon na take and uh hit it with an air gun, try to break loose. Some of this other crap get it out of there before we get the plugs out, we'll stick a paper towel down in there, not that it's gon na make much much of a difference. It's already crap in it. So we got the fan on evacuating our dusty air.

What do you think our chances? Are? I'm not feeling very good about it. Let's go see, it's definitely taking threads with it. Oil will do nothing because it's the aluminum and the steel that become one find out in a second. We look at the plug.

It took a bunch of aluminum with it or not right there. Where that shiny spot is, i mean eyeballs, let's see what we got. Yeah right there you see that that top around you can't see anything you're not looking yeah see some of the aluminum that took out, so you could run a plug tap down through there and clean that up. Sometimes it gets really bad.

We still got three more to go. Let's see how we make out with those i got: ta switch ratchets, the one: that's not so wobbly, widely wibbly wiggly. We could just try this not as bad good, just just a bunch of corrosion on that one. Two more! That was like somebody stripped that one out before or just came out now.

Oh that one was fine all right. Let's get some oil down on those cylinders, spin it over by hand and see how it feels i came back and put my thumb over each one of them and blew them off again. Some nice thick oil we're putting in there. I put my thumb, open hit.

It with air again again just get all the crap out below the plug, where it was. My main concern is right now is: is that head so rotted out that it's right into the compression chamber? I don't know: let's go try to go around real slow once i already feel like we're hitting something there. Should i go backwards, i'm gon na pop the cap off make sure the distributor is not seized. I don't want to try to be snapping off the drives and i'm just going to watch the rotor rotors turn it all right.

Almost all the way around we're stopping right there, let's go back the other way. I can see a valve being stuck in the head and the rocker goes to push it or there's just crap, packed up against the end of the cylinder head and the piston just can't go all the way up. So it's whatever cylinders at top dead center right. There so that is number one or number three it's causing it.

Let's go pop the valve covers off. I definitely suspect number one having a problem. I'm looking at the head, studs right here, someone's got that one like run all the way in some kind of weird. I don't know what's happening with that: it should they all should look roughly like actually a little further out than that.

So someone's had this apart before you see this one's way out and that's how far the stud is running to the case they may have ripped out of the case. I don't know, let's see what we get actually looks, pretty clean doesn't look too bad. Actually, the cylinder head itself, let's grab a light and you yeah that's really clean. I bet you, somebody put cylinder heads on or did something to this engine yeah see the stud should look something like that how much they're protruding instead these are all over the place.

That's weird, too, that one's that one's screwed up right there too see how how little that one's showing compared to that is it in all the way they have. I don't think that's bolted down all the way. Look at the gap behind it kind of looks funny for some reason, yeah that'll explain why it's got a mile of play. Yeah look at that play that the valve's just not coming out all the way that's got like 80 thou gap to it.

That could be just crap, that's behind the valve, not allowing it to go backwards. So let's go work this a little bit more and i'm going to pop you in this end we're going to go watch these rockers make sure everything's moving like it should. So we got three valves moving, i'm going to give her a little bit of pressure, not go crazy. I have a feeling that this, because this has most of the corrosion when this piston is coming up.

I bet you there's a bunch of crap in the combustion chamber of this white powdery stuff that just packed up against the top of the cylinder head is my guess. I'll pop the valve cover off the other side, see if they're moving this one. It just didn't get to the location for this one to move. Yet i'm not that worried about that um again, that's judging by where the rotary is that wouldn't be the cylinder that is in the up position, but we actually can do just shove a screwdriver down the side and see which one is the top dead center.

That is not so it is not that cylinder, because that one clears so it might be that one remember what i just said: forget it so uh we're gon na go, keep an eye on this one. Let's go pop the valve cover on the other side. So it's gon na be number four and number two they're gon na be all the way up. Possibly hitting this side definitely looks a lot.

Cruddier. Look at that valve. Look at the crap! That's in that valve all right! Let's go rock! It again! Watch those. So this should be top dead center that it is this one should be in i'm going to keep working it see.

If we can get past it, it's already screwed we're not going to hurt it there. It goes. I think it made it all the way around. Yeah, okay: let's go watch all the valves.

All four of those are going yeah. It's got a little bit of hesitation couldn't even bend just a little bit of rust on the top of the the land. That's right! That's why i put the oil in there. It definitely has a little bit of a bump right there when it hits it, but it's going away more so watch the bells on the other side, and then we will i'm not sure what we're going to do just make sure all four of these are going There you are: it's got ridiculous valve clearances all right back to the other side.

One thing that concerns me all: those valves are tight right so on a vw engine number three on this style, especially on a single port, that's got play that one has no play. Let me get these that one's got play, that one's got play, possibly a drop valve number three exhaust valve. This is the valve on a vw engine. It's gon na fail.

That's the valve! That's gon na fail we're gon na unbolt. The rockers take them off. If this valve comes out further than uh everything else, then we know that one dropped the valve. Let's go see, it could be just tight too.

That's, okay, i'm feeling a little bit more promising because it didn't those studs are not supposed to pull out. But that's not supposed to oh they're, bolts, okay, so i'm just gon na go grab with a pair of pliers. Real, quick and we're gon na go wiggle these and see what side the side plate we got and i'm gon na look down the length of them. Make sure none of them are pulling out further something's up with this one, you might have a broken valve spring.

I'm just looking at like these all have like a single wrap going around them. Yeah. Look at that one's got two just looks weird to me. I want to go wiggle around on the push rods and one didn't want to come out.

Yeah. You just want to come out because it took a hit we've been to. I also don't know what that is. What is that right? There jam that in there to hold the stick says that there's a deflector in here yeah.

So what happened? Was they forgot to put the deflector in when they took it apart? So they tried jamming it in later and they used a stick to hold it in place. I guess it works right. Let's go try to squish that uh pushrod tube in some kind of sub lens and we'll see if um it's a push right now see if it's bent that may happen later. You know then bouncing it around inside the car.

I know it comes out. I think it's still straight, i'm gon na spin it yeah we're fine, didn't bend it all right what you want to do next, let's um. Maybe we hook like a drill up to it, i'm going to shoot some more oil in it and we'll stick a drill on the front pulley, we'll just kind of give her a good spin and uh. Let things kind of seat in a little bit.

I should probably put that rocker assembly back on, so the valves kind of fire yeah i mean we go work on setting up some tooling. I bought the other rocker something back on see this one. You can see the nut is out further than that one. Let's go see if that assembly is loose yeah, it feels like it's tight.

I i don't know if somebody stripped out the other side and put bolts in or lost the hardware. This is how it's supposed to be set up: two studs with nuts on them. Stop it and the others just got bolts running into it, not the normal setup, for it all right, i'm gon na shoot some oil down in them a little bit better, get them really soaked. Yeah, we'll give her a couple of them.

It's just motor oil really soaker. I suspect it's gon na shoot oil out the spark plug holes uh and hopefully we get oil pressure. We start seeing some coming out of the oil cooler. So let's go see what we get.

It's got a lot of in-play. That's the play in the crank yeah she losing she's done. I'm not gon na hurt anything, keep spinning it's good, though at least you know the oil pump's working it is pouring out the back. We've got to stop it's going to make too much of a mess.

Yeah definitely coming right out of there. Let me go see if i could dig up another oil cooler we'll throw that on there. The next one i'm trying to get to is uh do a compression test, and the other thing too, as i was watching to spin. I was watching the crank go in and out, let's go sit up in a stand, there's something called mplay it's.

How much play is in the crankshaft front to back and it's like, sixth out it's supposed to be really small, not 160, but it looked like. Let's go see what we got, though, judging by all the other meatball stuff that we found so far, i'm not really surprised, yeah, that's a mile that that that is ridiculous, uh possible, so you can set and play by shims behind the flywheel and you bolt it Down you're supposed to have three shims and it makes up the end of the play. Possibly somebody has screwed up in there, but that's a pretty good indication if they're there a good indication that motor is just really worn out, it's worn to death and it prob. My guess would have been the one that they took out and replaced with the other engine again we're just poking and hoping on that answer.

You guys can find an old crappy oil cooler to throw on there. That's what it's supposed to look like. I think that's it. Let me get them.

Swapped out just got two passages a couple of seals on the bottom of it. Well, it goes up one side and down the other and air blows through it, because this is in the the path. I don't know. If you see light through it, this is in the path of the fan, and so it blows.

Oil uh blows air through there, it cools the oil off as it goes by. Hence oil cooler screws are out. Bolts are out, let's give her a different hole right in right through it right there, and i would definitely say that if oil was able to pass through this, those are pretty much holes too. Let's pop the other one off and clean up that surface, i got ta go grab a couple of seals, those are tiny ones, so she said so.

Unfortunately, it's not the same oil cooler. The id of the is a different size. I'm gon na go jam a couple of seals on there and just bolt that down anyway. I went hunting for another one, but i couldn't find it.

But when i went hunting, i found the ignition with a key, because that car has no key for the ignition. At least it wasn't for total loss. Actually, i think those will work those fit in there into the block fine and they kind of line up with that spacer all right. Let's spin, it again see if that stays fairly dry, and hopefully it gets to a point where it starts pushing out by the rockers always hope so yeah we'll be coming out the push rods, the hot there they are dripping, that's good.

So the push rods are hollow and oil comes through the lifter galley up to the valve and it helps lubricate the upper upper side of the engine. Those pivot points uh, let's go get a compression, i'm gon na go around and make sure i got play in all the valves and if there's any that, i do not have play in like that, one that we saw on the other side, i'm gon na put A little bit of play in it and we'll do a compression test, see if we get anything, i have a feeling. The valve's probably got a bunch of crud all the way around them, but the crush does i'll. Tell us right away what we got to work with the other ones.

You know like that has a lot of play in it, like i said usually uh. Sixth val, is what you want. That's weird i shouldn't have done that. Do i have enough of that? I don't have that captured correctly.

That's why that one's wacky i missed the pushrod or that or popped out on us, hey we're plugged in a number one cylinder. You see the gauge, i don't think so see. If we get anything we do, but our compression tester is not playing well. Let me try another one that one's a holding pressure.

Well, the drill's not going to give us as much rpms as a starter would we'll give us an idea. Let's go to. We got and that one says about 70, but again it would be better than that. If i was spinning up, i'm surprised it has anything we're gon na go through and see what we get and uh.

If we find that it's good enough, we'll later on, if we're able to get it to run, we'll, take it and recheck it again after it runs for a little bit, see what they come up to my biggest fear that was going to leak around that chamber. Right there that the cylinder had been compromised like it is, it seems like it's holding, find a dead cylinder. Then it might be an issue, but i've already gone past. The point of like this engine is not going to be something that's salvageable for a car without doing a lot to it, so we're right now we're just having fun and just trying to see what we can do to go possibly make it run uh.

I would not put a bunch of money into this if it was the correct one for the car and the car was pristine and you wanted exact different story. This is uh. You know for this car you'd probably want to put like a 1600 single port or dual port in it, and it gives you the most power and it's the cheapest one actually to put together so anyway, let's keep going that one doesn't seem very promising. Does it - and there goes compressor so kind of like an indication like when a valve has a real lot of play to me if the valves are adjusted correctly, the seat of the valve has a bunch of rust and crud on it.

So the valve is not coming up all the way, although the spring is pulling the valve up where it seats the valve seats on the head, there's crap in between there, so as as it kind of hammers itself together. Sometimes that will blow itself out and kind of clear up and the gap will close up, especially when you start seeing. You know, gaps of like 20 and 30 thousand. It's supposed to be six though, but we'll see, let's go, try it one more time.

Let me thread it in a little further: it's it's making noise like it wants to try, but i have a feeling: that's what it is. There's nothing uh, nothing there right now, probably because the valves are just cruddy around there. I don't know if i'd even want to try to take the cylinder head off. I think the damage between here is so bad and the corrosion is down there, you're not going to get them apart without doing damage and just trashing them anyway.

All right, so we're gon na go call number two zero see we get on the other ones and number three. That seems pretty good. It was what's that 90, a little over 90. yeah and number four i hear the exhaust valve is uh, not sealing.

You can see it actually popping out the exhaust port still got the play and that one's saying like 40., not nothing they're firing. I think the gauge is kind of playing with us a little bit. It feels like all of them do have a little bit of a compression to them and i think, if we're able to get spark to them and fuel to them, they should cough over and run, and maybe if it runs a little bit if it runs a Little bit they may you can get a couple rpms and, like i said, they'll a little pop and fart and as air and fuel are kind of going around the sides of the valve and the valve is hammering and shut, especially if you, as you pick up Speed they'll have a tendency to clean themselves up and the crap will kind of clear off of them same thing with the rings too, as the rings go back and forth. They kind of just kind of polish up the cylinder and take all the crap off and the rings if they're stuck on the piston a little bit a little bit of heat in them, they'll kind of move around and free themselves up there too.

So all right. What you want to do, i say we could probably throw the intake manifold back on we're, not putting any tins on it. You could put plugs in it, uh the intake manifold back on it see. If we can hook up a coil, we got to get a starter hooked up to it again.

This has a six volt set up to it. I have a bell housing that bolts to an engine and you would run with a jumper pack, but it is set for 12.. I think i got to go, look at it and see if it'll match up this flywheel. I don't think so.

If so, then we got to try to come up with a six volt. Starter looks like somebody already stole the choke off the carb, but we got it off. Let's go just pop the five screws off real, quick and take a quick look inside and see. If there's you know the pile of powder or it's, you know somewhat functional, put gas through and see if it'll actually do something yeah every one of those aren't you, i just want to look into the float bowl open up.

I think i got plenty of these gaskets hope. I do now actually look too bad. It's clean anyway, there's a main jet that threads in from the side right here, it's red's in there right there, i'm gon na go pop that out just blow some air through it and we'll put that back together same with that one put some air i'll pull Some air, through it and as far as filling it we're not gon na hook a gas tank and everything up. But what you can do is through that see that hole right there and that when that's together, i could just take a squeeze bottle.

I could squeak squirt right into there. That'll fill up the reservoir down in there and give us enough fuel to run on, hopefully there's a thing called the accelerator pump. What that does is when you accelerate, when you punch the gas, the carburetor goes lean for a second, it needs a little bit more fuel, so it has what's called an accelerator pump that squirts raw fuel in there and kind of kind of makes up for it. That's this on the side, it's a diaphragm and then there's a lever that pushes on the diaphragm with a bunch of check balls.

It comes up around and pushes out of this jet and shoots straight down. Let's go see if i'm not going to go, replacing that we're building the car, putting a carb kit in it, but i just wanted to see if that would do anything, the accelerator pump doesn't look it's moving all that much! That's this lever on the side, yeah! So that would need a diaphragm and all that kind of stuff we can get it to run without it if it will draw fuel up it's just if you go to nail it it'll fall in the case and bog. You just have to kind of do it slowly. Nope nada, there's also uh, like two ball bearings that make like a you.

It draws fuel in the door shuts with the check ball, and then you put pressure against it. You draw fuel in and then, when you go to fire it it puts pressure against it, blocks that passage off and has the other passage open up and has the fuel come up through here, so it's got like two little doorways best way. To put it, it doesn't allow it to flow back into the ball, they could be all jammed up and everything too in case you want to know what i want to look like this one's all brittle and hard too, but as you push on that, it moves Fuel supposed to this diaphragm will move back and forth and push fuel up through that circuit. When you hit the throttle and this one's junk too, the problem is all the new fuel that has ethanol in them.

They're not designed to handle that so they all go to crap is the nature of them. No cred on those points, huh and clean that some contact cleaner. If you have an issue, that's where we're going to go. Look first, one good thing about this engine, which i'm surprised is there's just a regular vacuum hose hook to it is the vacuum.

Advance works, usually if they have a piece of vacuum hose and not the correct metal, there's a metal hose that goes up to the carburetor. It makes a loop and it comes on down and goes back that loop is so gas fumes, do not come down and run into the diaphragm it watch the diaphragm blows it out that one's actually okay, so that and they're very hard to come by the vacuum. Advance setups the diaphragms - i don't think they replace uh redo them remake them. I think the uh wire holders is a little bit to be desired anyway.

Let's look at the vacuum advance in the direction that is facing. Usually it's it's like that, and not that kind of weird angle that it's on so i went i took and kind of went through the the operations of where number one cylinder is and when it would need to fire. So every other rotation is a uh fire, stroke or yeah, and that would be when the valves are both open, which they are on number one cylinder and the pistons all the way up at top dead center, normally number one would either be right here or right Here they already have it so far out somebody probably took the drive gear or took the drive on the distributor apart and have it all out of whack. So essentially number one is firing right here.

So when i go to put this cap on, i know i need to get number one cylinder and it's off by that much which would make it. So if i rotate it, i don't know if it's loose or not. Maybe it's just loose now, so i got to take this and rotate it back, so that number one is kind of lining up with that right now, right now, it's about right here, that's way too far off. It should be within 10 degrees and it's not even close.

All right. You got a good seat, you're, going to hook 12 volts, it's a 6 volt stuff. You can hook 12 volts to it for a short period of time power. I don't know if it's gon na have spark.

I just kind of threw everything together. I don't know if the components are good, but we are going to find out we're gon na give her a crank. Let's go, give her a little gas down the throat get things started, get the party going, the float bowl is full too. Let's see what happens, i got the wrong starter on it, so i there's a 12 volt starter.

The gear is smaller than it should be. So it does not make good contact with the flywheel. I have a six volt, i don't know if it's any good, i'm gon na go give that a shot and uh get that plus it'll. If it works, it'll crank a lot faster.

The only problem is, there is a bushing, that's in the front of it, and the starter is supported by the bushing. If i go to try to crank this right now, it won't even do anything. It needs that support bushing and between six volt and 12 volt. They are two different sizes, so i may have to go.

Make one she's puffing, though get close. I also think that when it was kicking back like that, i have a feeling that timing is out. We need to kind of move that a little bit, so it's actually a day in the future, and i ended up going and buying a new six-volt starter, because everything i had was just crap. So it's good because whatever car that runs a six-volt motor is going to need that anyway, it's not like it's going to go to waste, and i will whittled out another bell: housing to uh.

Accept that so i'm going to leave one set up for six volt and one set up for 12. and again the difference between the two openers, a different size, bushing that goes in the center of them. That has to support the center of the starter. A lot of times, people change starters in a vw thinking, it's the starter.

Meanwhile, it's the bushing that blows out and the front of the starter is not supported, so it just kind of kicks to one side and then the armature says no. Thank you all right. Let's get you in the stand: let's go get some gas in it and try it again i'll hook the starter button up to it too, so we don't have to cross it with a screwdriver. Let's we have gas, let's give her a little bit of with that.

Let me get power to the coil somewhere. Shall we see what oh, that does not sound great wow got fire coming out of the back one strong, a tad bit of current know how i know that's how i know i don't know if it's starter itself, i really shouldn't do that that wasn't that much Of a crank, it's not even hot, maybe it's this guy nope! You know where that starter was rebuilt. Give you one guess yeah, unfortunately, get that started along with this world. It's just what it is.

We got a car battery hooked up to it. Now, let's see what we get power to the coil and where is it wow come on? Let's give her more throttle, laughs, she's, real close, i don't know how many cylinders it's running on sounds like maybe two and a half or so again. I think if we can get it to run, the compression will come up and then, when so cylinders, seal up a little bit, they'll be able to do their thing and kick in also the one in the back here. More than likely has a bad exhaust valve.

Not seating because it's literally shooting keeps shooting fire out literally fire fire going out of it all right. I'm gon na go! Let it cool down a little bit. I'm gon na go and just check all the valves see if i feel any of the valves that are tight. If i find one i'll bring you back and uh, so we'll kind of adjust that one maybe get some compression out of that cylinder, so the valves feel fine, there's plenty of play in them and finding that that had tightened up.

But it is still running all the old stuff. It's running everything that came with it. The plug wires, plugs coil, distributor points, condenser carb, so, oh anything that we changed out was an old uh oil cooler keep the oil in it other than that. That's really about it and our our six volt starter.

That uh does not seem like it's been rebuilt. It looks like it's got a great paint job, it doesn't say bash on it anywhere, so i don't think it's a remand from uh like a bosch starter. One of those over there, but i had a battery on the battery charger, we'll give it its best shot to give her as much cranks as we can out of her with that hooked up and then i'll give another couple of minutes. Let's cool off we'll give her another shot, see what we get.

Let's give her another round a little bit of prime power to the coil. Shall we give her some throttle too? Ah um, i don't know if it's too much or not enough gas, let's give her that hmm. It definitely sounded like at one point. It ran on all four: oh it's not bad, it doesn't sound like i ran on all four.

I don't think it's sucking any gas from the float on the carb on the football. I think it's just running off whatever i'm putting in. I don't think it's drawing anything from that chamber, that's in there but yeah again. What do you want for nothing right, uh! Also, i think what happens too is this, while it's sitting in the stand, it's starting to lean a little bit this way and if we put raw gas in it, it just kind of wants to run down to the cylinders on one side, not the other.

So it's not atomized, you know you're kind of i don't even call it half-assing it or you know, as you're dribbling it in and unfortunately, when i crank down on the engine, stand the engine stand where the the t kind of runs in it's got kind of, Like a worn-in spot, so every time i go to tighten it down, it wants to tilt the motor on slightly on an angle, i'm not quite sure how to get around that it didn't give a. I got, ta look back at it. I think it kicked out. Some fire pretty good, though, let's try to overdo it to that one side a little bit.

I also think what happened as it runs, the the motion that see as i tightened it down and wants to flip it back. I also think that the motion of the direction it's spinning, it's kind of a gyro - wants to any better. Is that the same thing that's better for a second anyway. Another thing we could try to do is putting that distributed back where it was too.

I don't know how much it's to help us. We can give it a right shot like that if it goes to go when we go to crank it open and it fights us and it hit it wants to stop, then we know that's too far. That was my guess: how what the issue was, but fuel all right power to the coil a little bit down the throat see we get and a little bit of problem, so my hot lead was in the path of the exhaust she's, a runner, that's what it Was a little bit more time in the other direction my battery lead, i had to go die for it. It was sitting right across the exhaust all right, i'm surprised.

It's not dumping more oil on the ground. I would have thought it would have had some more pushing out of the push rod tubes, but actually sounds pretty good, that that definitely sounds like it's running all four, so hopefully the maybe the compression came up on oh yeah, that one's dripping pretty good, probably also Because it's leaning again yeah, let's try it again. Well, just a bunch of big kids all right. What uh is anything disconnected? I don't think so give her a little bit of that all right.

I do think it's running off, but as soon as i saw feeding it, nothing was happening so need one more hand. Yeah it's not it's not running off the car. Try putting some thumb that float ball up a little good uh seems like that might be dangerous. Oh holding the bolt in the same manner, instead of squeezing the bottle for the fuels hitting the trigger for the starter, that's good for it too! All right, oh she's, a liver! She does run now.

It's pumping the oil out, i'm surprised! I i thought it was going to come back, maybe on two cylinders and fart and cough a little bit. Let's um, let's go take the plugs out of it. We'll do a compression test, real quick, we'll see if anything came back uh for compression. If the numbers kind of picked up now that everything got a chance to polish themselves and we got ta start it, i can actually maybe spin it over hey number one.

Before i had. Let's see we get, i don't trust this compression pastor. I have a feeling. It's uh she's the wonky side.

What was that 50? I would have said it went down. Number two had zero on it. I just don't believe it it could be. You know again just look.

We have crap around the valves, but that's only showing like 15 pounds, but when i'm listening to it, it's you hear the stall in the engine when it goes to thump its way over we'll do the other ones and then maybe we'll try something else for our Compression tester, but this is the same one we used on the first round, so i think number three had 90 on it because they're all lower, though, doesn't make any sense. 60 it would. It should have come up number four had 40 on it that one showing 60, so one of them came up again. It could be true, it could be just all the rust and crap that i i don't suspect the rings.

I suspect the valves more, the rust that kind of be built on the valves and the stems, but usually when it runs like that it kind of cleans itself pretty good, expecting that gauge is no good just by listening to it. So this is number three yeah. That's more like it, so that is showing i know 75 pounds, i'm gon na go! Do them one more time with this see what we get for one more set of numbers so 75 on that one, and let's go real quick over here. What did we say? Number four had 60.

yeah 70., not great, but a little bit better numbers than what we had and number two is one that showed 15 pounds. That's the one that probably be the best um judge of character number two. Now it's not looking good for number. Two yeah: i would definitely call that it's like 25 pounds.

So definitely uh has some internal issues yeah, i'm just thinking that this may have even been the engine that was in the car that they took out, and maybe it was just so tired even back, then it just wasn't making any power and they went to go. Put that other one in there and no good that's on the video from before this on this car uh, i don't know, there's got some parts you can kind of use over. We can keep the uh. You know the carb distributor, the uh intake heads are shot blocked, shot.

The bottom end is it's got so much end play. They sell the crank. All that's blown out of it. It's not worth fixing again, it's only a 44.

It's not very valuable engine. Has a ton of corrosion on the heads you're not going to get these cylinders and heads apart without just totally thrashing them and somebody's been in here with all kind of meatball? You know you'll go to the hardware's all different lengths, so it's got bolts in the rocker on one side and nuts on the other supposed to be set up with the nuts like this, not not bolts. So there's definitely been somebody in here doing some uh backyard. Wrenching 30 40 years ago and we're trying to revisit it, but i had fun.

I hope you guys did so just screwing around with it try to go, bring it back to life. Look guys! I had about enough of this fun. I guess i'm cleaning up to do. I'm gon na go through and uh pick out what i got good for parts i'll probably just keep this whole engine together and just shove it up in the attic for now and the other one is pretty much trash.

We'll end up throwing most of that away, but we tried all right guys with that. I think we're going to get maybe something a little bit different besides uh vw stuff for the next video, but again that hasn't been filmed yet so who's the who's to know. For now, we'll say goodbye to fruity, pebbles and uh. Hopefully the super beetle convertible, the yellow one that we did remember that you thought this car was rusty.

That car was really rusty that had a good dual port in it, though we actually got that car up and running and drove it around. So that might be a good donor engine to put in this, and it will switch this car to 12 volts. But for now i think we're done i've had it. I got to go: throw speedy dry on the floor, clean up its its uh spillage and clean the bench up until then i'll see you later so so so.
