You should have pulled the plugs and put oil in the cylinders before trying to turn it over. All the sludge in the engine has settled to the bottom so after you get it started you should change the oil right away. Congratulations! What a great milestone.
I thought that i was the only person in the world with the idea of rescue cars in this conditions, Is really fun, and is an art. You must continúe with more!
You are doing an awesome job! I can’t wait to see how it turns out. My husband was just watching this & I’m glad I walked into the room to see what you were doing. I’m all about VW’s & when I see one being brought back to life, it makes me happy.
Brilliant work, that engine fired up pretty quick, great VW resurrect. Run the red return wire direct to your starter casing instead of via the body work. 6 Volts systems need good clean and short accu connections. We ran our 68 VW Beetle on 2/3 gas and 1/3 diesel mix.
One thing that I really liked was that you didn't spoil even a single nut or bolt. You properly applied the suitable tools required. You loosened the screws and then applied torque with a screwdriver. No destruction or abuse done by slippage of tools.
My Dad had one of these in 1972 when I was 9. We went all over England. It was great. I do remember that the headlights were rubbish. Dad said the were like 'tab ends' - smouldering cigarette ends. Happy days!
I had this same type of Vdub panel van but mine was a 61 and it had a 6 volt system originally, so I changed it all over to a 12 volt one. Turned her into a hippie wagon. Got her for free and sold her for 600$ back in '79 with what was likely over 300k miles and still running strong. Loved her dearly but had 3 cars and was beginning a family so I had to make a choice. Wish I had a pic though. Good luck in your restoration; these babies are practically indestructible!
I remember as a kid helping my dad remove, rebuild, and install what looks like that very same engine in a BUG. Even as a kid I could see it was a simple engine that was easy to work on. Very cool watching you bring it back to life, I was a little worried about the fuel system but just was the best case scenario anyone could wish or ask for. Very Cool enjoyed watching this video.
Depois de muitos anos sem funcionar e consegui ligar !!!!!!! Parabéns e parece que o motor está bom. Até a carroceria está boa , as caixas das rodas e o assoalho é que precisam ser consertados. O carro é muito bonito.
Dude, I just about teared up when it turned over the first time and ran. I know how that feels. I've never resurrected an old engine like this, but the very first engine I put together by myself - with no internet or UA-cam to help me - was a nerve wracking experience because I didn't want to blow it up or cause any $$$ expensive damage...and when it started the very first time I turned the key I was doing cartwheels in the driveway.
And I suspect that sucssful day you didn't get such a good sleep at night thinking how to bring the engine to its good old days. That's what we call it practice makes perfect.
@@anthonybarnes9089 Definitely. In fact it was the very first time that particular engine had ever been started because my dad, who just passed away on Friday, helped me put it together. It's a memory that I will always cherish. The engine, by the way, was a 1980 Toyota 3TC 1.8L with lots of racing parts on it. Because I was not making that much money at the time it took me 4 or 5 years to put it together, buying an expensive part here and then another one there 6 months down the road. But, it was worth it in the end.
Just shows how good and simple a design that engine was, bombproof!! You'd have no chance starting a modern card after 40 years, what with a million miles of wires and connectors, and enough electronics to get you to mars and back ;-)
Thanks you so much! It is something many people will never enjoy! I love many things and this is one of them! It's a great way to relax and get your mind in the right place! Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more! Please subscribe!
Back in 1974-75, I bought a 1964 VW Bus! God I loved that thing!!! Within a year, though, I bought a 1965 VW Bus. Reason being, I wanted a 12-volt system. The '64 and '65 Buses were 6-volt systems (standard for the time on the VW Bus). But I found out it was not possible (or feasible) to convert my '64 VW Bus to 12-volt, due to the '64 flywheel would not accept the newer 12-volt starters. Then I discovered that the next year's Bus, the 1965 VW Bus's **flywheel would accept the 12-volt starter! Hence, my joy to find a 1965 VW Bus in great shape, which I could convert over to 12-volt. The reason I wanted an older bus, was because I liked the look of them rather than that of the 'newer' buses back then (in the '70's). I liked and wanted the split two-pane windshield, the 'worm-face' look of the front as opposed to the redesigned 'modern' look of the newer buses and the hinged pop out 'port-hole' like windows as opposed to the longer rectangular slide windows. BUT I also wanted a 12-volt system. Happily, I was able to realize my wish in the '65 VW Bus model! [** I said that he '65 bus flywheel allowed for 12-volt starters, whereas the '64 flywheel did not. Or was it that I could replace the '65 flywheel with a later model flywheel - I couldn't quite recall while writing this earlier. But I'm pretty sure now that the former was the case...I think. :-) I also bought a '73 Super-beetle engine to replace the original less powerful '65' engine, which I did; and converted to the 12-volt system (lights; radio; coil; etc).] It would be impossible to recollect how many times I had pulled and reinstalled engines out of the two buses I owned! I got very fast doing so. I would even lay the engine on my stomach after loosing the 4 bolts that held them in place against the flywheel, lowered the engine onto my stomach and scooted out from under the Bus with it on me! Boy, that was another lifetime ago! Young, strong and daring. I 'souped up' my '65 Bus with larger pistons and jugs, better coil and I think it was a 'Webb" carburetor. When my battery might be low or die; or when my starter failed to crank - no worries! I'd turn the key on, shift the gear stick (the transmission) into neutral, jump out of the cab, push the bus by hand down the street, get it going about 5 or so miles per hour, jump back in, push in the clutch, shift into 1st gear, 'pop' the clutch, and gingerly give a bit of gas...she'd quickly sputter to life, and away we'd go! I could park that thing anywhere? It's turning radius was unreal, with no front nose (engine compartment and 'hood') sticking out, it was so, so easy to parallel park in a spot where others dared not attempt to. The utilitarian feel of the Bus was awesome to me. Mine was a 'walk through' model from the front to the back. I worked in the trades (electrician; carpenter, handyman), so it was handy in that regard to carry tools and material either inside or on the roof racks. I loved the windows, how they popped out from the bottom and the air vents up front near where your knees would be. No AC. But I really don't remember feeling the heat back them ( I lived in Miami, Fla; so it differently was hot. Though it was not a very fast vehicle topping out around 65 or 75-mph if I recall correctly, it was strong enough to haul my small sailboat around, launch and pull it out of the water once trailer-ed. It was a cute, 'cool' little van in my opinion. If I had the money, and could find one, I'd get the very same year as before in a heart-beat! VW is said to be going to introduce their NEW modern version of the VW Bus into the market in the next year or so...it is ALL ELECTRIC! I would love to try that out as well. It is not the same - BUT it does retain some of the look and design of the old Buses...just better all the way around - save it DOES have a nose (safety issues save the legs I guess). Thanks for the video CT. I'll be watching the other follow up videos I see that you have made as well.
Parabéns... Que fez o motor funciona fez!!!!impressionante esses motores da kombi e do fusca são capazes de ressuscitar mesmo depois de morto e enterrado!!!
this is awesome. I just bought a 78 type 2 transporter. it's my first car. I am 17 and know very little about automotive. I have always loved Type 2s though, and I can't think of a better car to learn on.
I always pull the plugs and squirrt ATF and oil into them before cranking on the crank.....it's amazing how all those fasteners come apart given all that rust...
Hey Dan! Yes, I should have sone that. I got ahead of myself...Hopefully the jugs had some oil in them. I was using a oil/gas mix so that may have helped. Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more!
It has some areas that will need to be fix but it can all be saved. They make all the sheet metal panels for the entire body! It should be a fun project for the next few years!
An air cool engine will turn over no matter how many decades since last run, provided it ran b4 being parked, they not prone to condensation that leads to rust as in water cooled engines...thanks 4 reading .
Brings back memories. I was a VW mechanic at a shop in the early 80s. A lot of this stuff I had forgotten. I loved working on these, but the handwriting was on the wall. There were fewer and fewer of the old type 1s and 2s as time went by. And they were all I really wanted to work on; the Dashers and Rabbits were no fun at all. So I moved on. As I remember, these engines were replaced by a pancake that was awful to work on. The type 3 square backs were fun too.
Hey Pat! That is really cool that use to work on these! The good thing is they made so many and people still love them! Thank you!!! Did you subscribe? Stay tuned!!! CT =)
Go to a place that services lawn mowers and buy a gas tank. Have it higher than the carb. and let it run to the carb avoiding the fuel pump and gas tank. The tank more than likely has trash in it you do not want in the motor. Good luck, looks like an great project.
Daniel Heartsill But the pump seemed to working fine? I agree about the possible fuel tank trash. Didn’t the pump look like it doing its job? Maybe that wasn’t the fuel pump?
Good job, is so cool to watching it, right now i'm restoring some old similar Volkswagen type 2 here in Brazil, is a challenge to proof it. Keep going man!
Well done Chap. I am not new to VW's but I am new to trying to fix them... What a great tutorial! Now to get my 1972 bug started! Look forward to seeing what you do with this kombi!

Reason number 99 I don't make youtube videos, I would not deal well with negative comments about things I do for your entertainment so I would have 0 subs... Reason number 100, me starting anything old (after being a mechanic for 40 years) check the oil, yep it has oil in it, check the water, yep it has water in it, ( and yes I know VWs like this are AIR cooled, see reason #99) drop a battery in it and turn the key, nope it doesn't spin over, then look further into it, yep it spins over then check the gas and the spark, does it have spark YES/NO, does it start? good. Video done 31 seconds... I am glad you love these old girls and restore them, looks like you know your stuff and have a good time doing this, and you have a great channel....... leaving the Youtubing up to you, live life, grab it and run with it, everyday is a gift for you to enjoy! Peace out brother!
It really made my butt clench when you cranked that thing over with dry cylinders. A little KY is greatly appreciated when you're dealing with an older lady like that.

esses motores sao mesmo muito bons o cara que inventou devia receber o premio nobel nunca um motor ficou tanto tempo funcionando 40 anos de vw produzindo e mesmo parado na maioria das vezes ele pega quando poe bateria
My dad used to have a lowlight kombi camper. I miss that thing. Memories . Definitely enjoyed watch u tinker with this one, that old distributor cap brings back memories of breaking down in hinchinbrook ingham
Joseph is giving good advice. You might apply some marvel mystery oil while checking the crank,definitely change the belt immediately,then see if it runs, then drop oil. !
I've owned/been involved in 3 type 2s in my life, '62, '68, '71, loved them all (the '83 Vanagon H2O was a bad memory) . What amazed me about them, and the VW engine in particular, was how, even when in reality they were not running correctly, they would just run and run and run... people would not realize a problem, to the point where one day, they just stop, Unfortunately, this meant that to get them back running correctly, required making up for all the long missing maintenance. Another thing, too many ignorant, and destructive, "mechanics".
Oh wow! That's cool man! So you have been around a few of them over the years. Yes, they seem like they will run under extreme conditions. I enjoy the idea of regular maintenance so hopefully that won't be an issue. Stay tuned!
It never surprises me when those old air cooled VW engines fire up, however long they have been standing.i've had 14 beetles of various states of disrepair and have never had one not fire up with the minimum of preparation.
Greetings from Germany the country which capable engineers invented this wonderful car. The engine sounds awesome. Hope you know a well skilled welder.
Hey Michael! A great Country and a well made machine for sure! Thank you so much! Please subscribe if you haven't already! THANK YOU!!! =) I'm going to attempt it myself. Stay tuned!
@@CTmoog Yes, I stay tuned. However I must admire that the idea of car concept came from a dutch man. Ben Pon the general importer of Volkswagen in the netherlands. He would like your video too.
Yes, this was a fun day. I really enjoyed pulling off the parts and getting it started for the first time! It was awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it!
Love your enthusiam and delighted you got it started, but placing an open container emitting fuel vapour beside a hot exhaust was very dangerous. Safety first.
ein sehr geniales Video... ich habe im Grunde mit diesem Motor meine Ausbildung zum Mechaniker gemacht.... Der geht nicht kaputt.....:-) Ich bin sehr neidisch auf diesen Bulli....
I don't know diddly about vehicle maintenance, but I understood everything you did. VWs were that simple! (I had '69 and '75 Beetles back in the day.) Those @#$%& rubber gas lines! I almost burnt up one car twice when those hose got too near the exhaust manifold and got a hole burned in it. That happened to another friend out in the middle of the Arizona desert, and he lost his. Still, I loved my Beetles and if they still made them (that is, the REAL ones), I'd have one today. Congrats on getting it running!
Saw this happen in front of my eyes while having a beer with a friend. Poor bloke pulled into the street opposite the bar, smoke billowing out the back of his blue van. Shortly thereafter the back of the van was fully engulfed in flames, by that stage the fire truck had pulled up to extinguish the blaze but the van was ruined.
Por eso pienso que ya no fabrican motores con esa ingenieria, practicamente con ese motor tenias pars muuchos años y no nesesitabas de gastar en motores desechables como los de hoy en dia...
I’m 35 years old and since I was a kid I saw my dad working on a VW bus or a beetle. This brings me some memories thanks!!
You should have pulled the plugs and put oil in the cylinders before trying to turn it over. All the sludge in the engine has settled to the bottom so after you get it started you should change the oil right away. Congratulations! What a great milestone.
Thanks George! you are right..I forgot to do that...I will be changing the oil soon! Thank you sir!

Brilliant work, that engine fired up pretty quick, great VW resurrect. Run the red return wire direct to your starter casing instead of via the body work. 6 Volts systems need good clean and short accu connections. We ran our 68 VW Beetle on 2/3 gas and 1/3 diesel mix.
Thanks man! You have some really cool videos on your channel! I will! Interesting gas mixture! Why did you add the diesel?
@@CTmoog because he can't find any more Zyclon B ?
People who made this vehicle are probably no more. But their creation is still alive. Great job dude in bringing back life to their creation. 👍👍👍
One thing that I really liked was that you didn't spoil even a single nut or bolt. You properly applied the suitable tools required. You loosened the screws and then applied torque with a screwdriver. No destruction or abuse done by slippage of tools.
That sounds way better than it looks!
It does
My Dad had one of these in 1972 when I was 9. We went all over England. It was great. I do remember that the headlights were rubbish. Dad said the were like 'tab ends' - smouldering cigarette ends. Happy days!

Vw engines were also coverted to use in light aircraft. The self build type. Cool.
Well done Chap. I am not new to VW's but I am new to trying to fix them...

This video is a good inspiration for a 1/25 rust bucket model.
It was nice to see that old heart beat again. German engineering = best engineering.
They break a lot
Bleed out the gas tank, add fresh gas, it will be just fine, oil change. Nice work 👍

Old Volkswagens never die , they even get m o r e love than before ! I owned a 1966 Beetle as a first car. Good work !
awesome video! not gonna lie was yelling to my screen to change the belt lol
haha! Thanks Luke! I really enjoyed the belt degenerating like it did! It was fun! Thanks for watching!
@@CTmoog you should get one of these and stick down in the gas tank www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0785H3XR7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i used it to look inside my rusty rifle that im restoring

You did an amazing job man !
Reason number 99 I don't make youtube videos, I would not deal well with negative comments about things I do for your entertainment so I would have 0 subs...
Reason number 100, me starting anything old (after being a mechanic for 40 years) check the oil, yep it has oil in it, check the water, yep it has water in it, ( and yes I know VWs like this are AIR cooled, see reason #99) drop a battery in it and turn the key, nope it doesn't spin over, then look further into it, yep it spins over then check the gas and the spark, does it have spark YES/NO, does it start? good. Video done 31 seconds...
I am glad you love these old girls and restore them, looks like you know your stuff and have a good time doing this, and you have a great channel....... leaving the Youtubing up to you, live life, grab it and run with it, everyday is a gift for you to enjoy! Peace out brother!
It really made my butt clench when you cranked that thing over with dry cylinders. A little KY is greatly appreciated when you're dealing with an older lady like that.

"If it were Mustie1 what would he do next"....lol
Mustie1...the greatest VW Man would next check for spark and if so...pour some 40 to 1 down the carb
WHAT DO YOU THINK MUSTIE1? This friend of yours was very lucky?
No rust on the dipstick? Loose shirt cuffs beside a rotating belt what’s plonker!

Love the patina of the outside. Love the lopsided, dropping slightly to the right of the engine. Was willing it to fire!.... Nice one.
It looks like it was just blasted in a very quick salt storm, lol... but nothing got inside of anything! Thats amazing!

The engine sound is very familiar to my ears, when we had one of these back in 80s.
VW is a really awesome car. Love the air cool engine.
esses motores sao mesmo muito bons o cara que inventou devia receber o premio nobel nunca um motor ficou tanto tempo funcionando 40 anos de vw produzindo e mesmo parado na maioria das vezes ele pega quando poe bateria
My dad used to have a lowlight kombi camper. I miss that thing. Memories . Definitely enjoyed watch u tinker with this one, that old distributor cap brings back memories of breaking down in hinchinbrook ingham
Hello Jeremy! That's a great memory! Thanks for sharing! I appreciate that! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
I am in the third part of the series, and after a hard work day and as an volkswagen lover that I am this is refreshing!!! keep it up Friend!!!
Wish I hade the kind of shop you have. Love your passion and skill. I need more videos so awesome
Joseph is giving good advice. You might apply some marvel mystery oil while checking the crank,definitely change the belt immediately,then see if it runs, then drop oil. !
I've owned/been involved in 3 type 2s in my life, '62, '68, '71, loved them all (the '83 Vanagon H2O was a bad memory) . What amazed me about them, and the VW engine in particular, was how, even when in reality they were not running correctly, they would just run and run and run... people would not realize a problem, to the point where one day, they just stop, Unfortunately, this meant that to get them back running correctly, required making up for all the long missing maintenance. Another thing, too many ignorant, and destructive, "mechanics".
Oh wow! That's cool man! So you have been around a few of them over the years. Yes, they seem like they will run under extreme conditions. I enjoy the idea of regular maintenance so hopefully that won't be an issue. Stay tuned!
@@CTmoog Wow, you really are a freshman... I thought maybe I should mention this classic: goo.gl/images/zLDyG2
The engine sound 👍
Not everyone can understand how much what happened is awesome!
O can’t believe that ! So awesome 👏! I try to by a bettle here in Brazil this month for a project! I hope to get!
It really is cool! Good luck I hope you get one! Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more! Please Subscribe if you haven't already!!!
como vai? Teach me Portuguese and i'll teach you vw's , i'm coming over there soon again, but i would like more practice! obrigardo
Sensacional isso aí tem história de verdade estou restaurando uma 1965 e em seguida uma 1974 show brother
That's why we love VWs! And their owners too!

Good Job. I love this kind of vehicle.
This van will need a lot of love ✌
It never surprises me when those old air cooled VW engines fire up, however long they have been standing.i've had 14 beetles of various states of disrepair and have never had one not fire up with the minimum of preparation.
Greetings from Germany the country which capable engineers invented this wonderful car. The engine sounds awesome. Hope you know a well skilled welder.
Hey Michael! A great Country and a well made machine for sure! Thank you so much! Please subscribe if you haven't already! THANK YOU!!! =) I'm going to attempt it myself. Stay tuned!
Germany a world class inventors!! I love German cars there perfect
World's best engineers! Kudos!
@@CTmoog Yes, I stay tuned. However I must admire that the idea of car concept came from a dutch man. Ben Pon the general importer of Volkswagen in the netherlands. He would like your video too.
Those good VW Bolts just came right out.....German engineering!
Yes, this was a fun day. I really enjoyed pulling off the parts and getting it started for the first time! It was awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it!
Gasoline + matches = 💥🔥🔥🔥👍👍
Love your enthusiam and delighted you got it started, but placing an open container emitting fuel vapour beside a hot exhaust was very dangerous. Safety first.
Thanks Sean! That's good advice! Thank you! Did you subscribe? Stay tuned! =)
ein sehr geniales Video... ich habe im Grunde mit diesem Motor meine Ausbildung zum Mechaniker gemacht.... Der geht nicht kaputt.....:-) Ich bin sehr neidisch auf diesen Bulli....
Thanks Fred! yes, I was very lucky on this one! THANK YOU!!! Stay tuned! =)
I don't know diddly about vehicle maintenance, but I understood everything you did. VWs were that simple! (I had '69 and '75 Beetles back in the day.) Those @#$%& rubber gas lines! I almost burnt up one car twice when those hose got too near the exhaust manifold and got a hole burned in it. That happened to another friend out in the middle of the Arizona desert, and he lost his. Still, I loved my Beetles and if they still made them (that is, the REAL ones), I'd have one today. Congrats on getting it running!
Saw this happen in front of my eyes while having a beer with a friend. Poor bloke pulled into the street opposite the bar, smoke billowing out the back of his blue van. Shortly thereafter the back of the van was fully engulfed in flames, by that stage the fire truck had pulled up to extinguish the blaze but the van was ruined.
