I gather it doesn't run.
How was the compression when you got it?
What needs replacing?
Sticking with that carb or going 1 size bigger?

nice one mate... hows the double rear wheels on that beetle...

D-Train · Post by **D-Train** » Thu Sep 01, 2011 7:53 pm

it had a little compression, so pulled apart, resealed the barrels, the rings arnt the best but they will do for what its for, reset the clearances on the tappets, and actually had a bit more compression after that, the engine actually seized after i pulled it from the car so pulled it apart an found nothing stopping it.
rebuilt the fuel pump/ carby an put back together. got new engine/gbox mounts goin in 2moro then hook up some new battery cables an hopefully start it this wk.

if all goes to plan anyway...

some more pics,

finished the initial build

gettin ready to put it in.

held in all by itself!!

i know its a beetle exhaust but it will do for now an the cut outs were on the valance already so why not utilize the brutality. haha
