    Just inherited my grandmothers ‘72 Super Beetle. Has been sitting since 2002. This video was extremely helpful! This is my first restoration and I need all the advice I can get! Thank you for this!

    Thanks, for the great info. I got my son a 71super beetle for 15th b-day so he had a year to work on it. Last tagged in 03 so he got some work to do on it.

    Good idea for sure. I liked the bloopers at the beginning.

    Then have fuel tank sand blasted and sealed. No more rust clogging the carb jets. 1965 Manx experience.

    Oh I bet I should do this to my Speedster replica but it’s too cold right now. I’ll add this to my Spring cleanup “To Do” list! Thanks for the tips!

    Slades, an awesome hack is to add Evaporust into a spray or squeeze bottle, spray or squeeze it into the fuel line, let it sit for about an hour and watch the miracle happen. Instant clean and fresh fuel line. You can break the rules once you learn them. :)

    • @SladesVWBeetle
      @SladesVWBeetle  3 роки тому +1

      Oddly enough, I thought about doing that. But to be quite honest with you I got lazy. And just did what I did. The evapo rust pushed into that line, would’ve probably did a really great job. Thank you so much for commenting.

    Just another suggestion: Go to Autozone and borrow their ac flush kit. Use kerosene to flush it out. then run some denatured alcohol or better yes naphtha. It will take less than 15 minutes. Then use a vacuum tool/gauge and see if it leaks.

      Honestly, I would go to harbor freight, if you are just looking for one for part time working in the garage,.

    Was looking for something like this. I recently got my 74 beetle from the build. I bought it unseen and had it modified to a baja. It has a dual carb set up. it ran great for a while but then i ran into a problem that the carb on the left is on some kind of stack that bolts to the block. That came loose. I think i got it tight but now I cant get the car started. When i spray starter in the carbs, it fires up, burns off the spray, then immediately dies. Not sure what to do. I grew up in Cali and always wanted a beetle. Now im 54 and in MN and bought one. I dont know much about em but I'm learning. Thanks for this. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Slade thanks for the videos. They really help for my first restoration. Please keep them coming. How hard would it be to change the line? Agains thanks.

    • @SladesVWBeetle
      @SladesVWBeetle  3 роки тому

      You’re very welcome, and thank you very much for being here. Try cleaning it first, because changing the line is not very easy. You would have to cut the tunnel open at one point. So I don’t think it would be a fun job. Much more to come. Plus I have a 1968 that I will be pulling in next and doing a full restoration on.

      Hey is good to hear from you. I have had some set back with my restoration project. I didn’t expect to be fixing what should have been done well at the body shop. The luggage floor pan and the firewall was badly repaired at the body shop. So I repaired it myself. I now now that it looks original and it well done. Hey thanks for your , support, comments and sharing my videos. I have now 55 subscribers 😊.

      Thanks Slade, I shared your video with the Bus Grease Monkey because of the old buses in the video. They have a huge following on UA-cam so you may get a bunch more views on this one. Love the pictures from the past. Cool old cars and the signs were so awesome back then.

  • @braltimore3995
    @braltimore3995 3 роки тому +1

    I suspect that my 73 super is kinked somewhere along the shifter. I've attached a steel cable to a drill but it refuses to go further than a foot and a half. I'll give the injection cleaner and air compressor a shot next.

    • @SladesVWBeetle
      @SladesVWBeetle  3 роки тому

      Maybe try and old throttle cable through it next, something more flexible. Soaking it would really help. Running a new line inside the tunnel a pain!

  • @keithmcinturff1203
    @keithmcinturff1203 3 роки тому +1

    What are you thoughts on running the "ethanol free" gas (blue handle) in these air cools since you're not too hip on the ethanol gases?

    • @SladesVWBeetle
      @SladesVWBeetle  3 роки тому

      I wished I could afford to run the ethanol free stuff it is very expensive. Unfortunately I have no choice but run the regular crap they give you now.

  • @patrickmcneil2911
    @patrickmcneil2911 2 роки тому

  • @joejuska5390
    @joejuska5390 3 роки тому +1

    I bet the rust is from the fuel tank and the rust is from the ethanol.

    • @SladesVWBeetle
      @SladesVWBeetle  3 роки тому

      This tank sat almost empty for many years. So I believe from condensation that formed a mild rust.
