      Dear @@joeysjunkyard
      👍👌👏 Yeah, you're definitely kind of right, Sir. But I think the power was with him additionally because he used a plastic squeezing bottle for gasoline like great Mustie1 always does! ;-) :-) You know, those energy vibes can be really strong in that great Volkswagen community.
      2) The trickshot was fantastic of course.
      Best regards, luck and health.

    6V starters matter. I love the insert" no starters were harmed during filming. That was great. One day im going to have to chat in private. Im amazed on how many VWs your still finding. Here in FL. we lost thousands of beetle from cash for clunkers. It's been real thin findings ever since. Thank you as always for saving these and sharing the content with others.

    Kevin here from Australia.
    Mustie 1 would have just pulled the carb and put it in the ultrasonic cleaner. While he was waiting for the carb he would have adjusted the brakes then washed the car . All this in time for lunch. After lunch carb back on start car and test drove.What a guy 🤪

    Hi Jason, be sure to give that throttle lever a tug, either from the carb lever itself or the gas pedal if connected. Even with fuel in the bowl and spark gas may not be getting down into the intake ports if the throttle plate stays closed. Thanks for the video and keep 'em coming! take care - Ted

    Dear 5150mxVW
    👍👌👏 Well, Sir, I guess that starter motor was not far away from going to Johnathan W.s special starter motor cemetery/grave yard. 😁
    2) I definitely like that bug. It must be the colour I guess. Great to hear it runnin' again. Congrats!
    3) I hope that your great little petrolhead son Josh will do the pressure washing again. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the cleaning process, oil and front hood change etc.p.p..
    4) Please, big "J", please tell me that you tried that fantastic backshot/trickshot at the end of the video a lot of times. Because if it is a one in a hole my mind will blow up. 😁
    Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and health to all of you.

      3) 😱 What? You had to open the freshly mounted new/used hood with a tractor??? I hope to see that trick in the next video and can hardly wait for it. By the way: Have you already brought home the blue donor bug to make the VW fence even longer = more steak dinner for your great wife? ;-)
      Sincerely yours.

    It helps if you actuate the throttle a little bit too. Sometimes a little shot from the accelerator pump helps get it running faster. Also at least static time it first; it gives you a benchmark that you can fine tune later.
    That last hoop shot was legendary. You da man! Still waiting for that concourse resto from last time...🤣😂

    Jason, I think I watched you put marvel mystery oil down the carb...yeah?
    Well
    When you have probably low compression, bad plug wires and an archaic ignition system...ie points...it probably fouled the plugs right off the bat .
    If it’s seized...I can understand a soaking. But if it turns I wouldn’t dump raw oil down the carb.
    I know.... I would, I would, I would.
    So here goes.
    I would take the valve covers off, and give a bang or two with a wooden mallet on those wolves and see if their stuck...if they are loose, then take the cap off, check for sparkage....then I would just use a little 40/1.....you could even use marvel for that mix. Down the carb.
    That way it won’t foul the plugs.
    Sounds like it’s missing, probably a stuck valve or bad plug wire.
    Great video, thank you for the will it run. Totally jealous of all your VWs 😀😀😀

    I WAS going to be clever, & comment "We didn't start the fire", but then Panama fired, so that just leaves me w/saying "Congratulations", which isn't nearly as clever. When you asked the engine, "Just what's the matter with you, huh?" I had a brief flashback to my '75 Bel Air - she made me change her spark plugs in -20 degree weather before she would start one year.. I'll never forget that. Did I say congratulations?
