Glad it was helpful!

So sorry for the late reply. It's old Volkswagen season around here and thats a busy time for me. Depends on what your idea of a trickle is. The pump should only be pumping 2 psi (2.2 to 2.4 to be exact) even with duel carbs.

Ciao! Ci sono MOLTI motivi per cui la tua macchina potrebbe fare questo, ma inizierei dal tuo carburatore. Spero che questo aiuti e buona fortuna

LOVE my rebuildable fuel pumps I own. The price point of selling a QUALITY pump, that we'd make ourselves, would drive VW owners to installing a GOOD electric pump and a decent regulator for laterally half of the price (and I'm not talking about a crappy pump & reg......YOU know the brands I speak of here). So what's the answer for the entire VW owner-dom, here?

W/O seeing it, my answer here is in NO WAY definitive but MOST will be stamped w/ an arrow but USUALLY the top one is the inlet. As a cautionary piece, if you can't decide which is which, don't mess w/ it and have a professional mechanic install it

That's an excellent part to add! Until my recent 1700, plus mile road trip in my Bus, w/ other VW people, I didn't realize how often and easily they will go bad

It's even better in real life! And the best part is....she actually drives this car often! Old VWs DON'T WANT TO SIT. They're meant to be driven and they love to be driven. What she didn't tell you IS that that car is packed for 2 people to camp in, but her mate backed out at the last minute. These are the people and their cars on the Airhead parts Treffen! It's soon cool!

@@JunkyardDogGarage918 I so wanted to do this trip this year but couldn’t get my bus going in time. Hopefully next year. My engine is sitting on my garage floor.

Lets get it going!@@Johnhasabus

@@JunkyardDogGarage918 I’ve been trying. Got a generator and seals coming. Will hopefully have the engine in next week.

@@Johnhasabus excited for you. keep us posted!

I thought so, too. Im just learning about them and this one seemed pretty clean and neatly organized compared to a lot of them Ive been seeing and asking about

RIGHT? And the best part is......she actually drives it!

That hose is pushed in all the way. If you look closely at the filter, I'm sure you noticed it has two "steps". The 1st is for VW, 5mm fuel hose. That 2nd step is for the slightly larger 7mm, inside diameter fuel line, like the one I have on my Bus. One filter, two hose sizes.

@@JunkyardDogGarage918 I always use clamps on my fuel hoses.

Not sure if anyone is counting, but that was about half the cars I showed

This video is just for the start of making a bag. Add and take away as you feel fit. Just don't leave home w/o it!

Should be up shortly for you

Pump is probably bad.........again. Sometimes they go bad quickly

Or your system is clogged up somewhere

They call him the bare back rider!

@@edwardramon6935 🤣🤣🤣

I do. It all boils down to quality control, or a lack of. Unfortunately, our little FUEL PUMP, the FUEL PUMP RODs, the PUMP BASE it sits on and the thickness of the "gear" that the rod travels up and down on (thats 4 items that need to be within a HAIR to create the correct pressure) are just not up to the quality/specs they once were. Good news is, you have options! OPTION ONE; get a fuel pressure regulator. Not a cheapo. Get one that actually will go on a race car and pays particular attention to the under 10lb mark. OPTION 2; You need to take off/grind a millimeter or 2 (in some cases maybe 3) from the flat end off the "fuel pump rod". OPTION 3; add another fuel pump gasket (or 3 in my case) to the base of your fuel pump.

In case you didn't quite get exactly what I was saying.....the rod is plunging to deep into the pump, so we're either raising the pump, OR we're shortening the rod. And BTW......(here comes your unwanted advice!) w/o going in TOO deep here ( no pun intended!!), the closer to 2 psi, the better. 2.4 is on the high end if you actually calculate out the factory specs, then convert FROM metric. Remember, these cars were all done in metric by people WAY more particular then you and I. Good luck and I hope that helped

To reduce pressure you add more gaskets to the base of the pump, each gasket drops 0 3 bar I think, so you need to use a good bunch of them. I would probably try and make my own from some heavy duty cardboard instead but it's your call.

Yup. Sometimes they do that

Not yet

THERE IS MORE THEN ONE WAY TO DO THIS, BUT......For ME, its a 2 person job. I disconnect the main coil wire (the one the same diameter as the spark plug wires), AT THE COIL. Doing this will allow someone to turn the engine over, w/o any chance of it starting. NOW I can disconnect the fuel line AT THE CARB and place it into an empty clear glass vessel. Have the person in the car turn it over. About 5 to 10 seconds is all you'll need to see if fuel is coming into your glass/jar. Be careful of the fan/alt belt, it still can "grab' onto sleeves, long hair etc. If your glass was good and clean you can put the fuel back into your tank, or just dispose of the fuel properly

ALSO a VW air cooled engine insists on around 2 to 3.2 pounds of pressure to operate (Fuel injection VW's are excluded, here) the car properly, this ENCLUDES MOST DUEL CARB SET UPS. This equates to not much more then a dribble and why your air cooled VW operates just fine w/o an electric fuel pump and pressure regulator......I mean, unless you enjoy wasting your hard earned money.

It doesnt take much power to turn these ON. If thats happening to you, my GUESS is you have some kind of short somewhere

Youre welcome. Keep in mind that there are ALWAYS exceptions to the rules.

Youve got something broken internally and shes gotta be taken apart.

@@JunkyardDogGarage918 I think that I will just put in an electric fuel pump.

That's for an earlier, smaller motor. I've currently got one on an 1835,w/ duel Kads. After accommodating for its fuel flow, it works great and has that cool old school look I wanted airheadparts.com/vw-part/fuel-pump-repair-rebuild-111-198-555/ They have a tech department that will help you and is second to none, but have patience, they field call from ALL over the world

@@JunkyardDogGarage918 thanks man!

They're SUPPOSE to pump no more then 2 psi (2.2 psi is starting to be on the high side) BUT, due to the LACK of quality control nowadays (it is what it is!), I've tested brand new ones, right off the shipping container at 7 psi! WAY to high to ever get the motor dialed in w/ stock components. This will contribute (to a certain degree) to most flat spots on the beloved 009 distributor (which I personally don't use)

Sorry for the delayed reply, Big John. Spring time and VW outings are hand in hand!🌞🌊🌊 It will contribute to this. "Yes" to the entering into the crankcase. That combo could mean a near future engine rebuild. No bueno, amigo.

@@JunkyardDogGarage918 l used the longer rod with alternator pump. Bent the rod broke the plastic rod guide. What other damage could it have done ?

@@daveturner9780 the fuel pump and plastic stand are the weak points in the system and thus, CHANCES are nothing else

@@JunkyardDogGarage918 thank you

Search for 12 battery chart. There's some differences, but they're all close. Also, all things being OPTIMAL on your VW, the old air cools don't require much to crank over and start. batteryglobe.com/car-battery-voltage-chart/

Also could you tell us what site to ho and get this bag? Thanks.
