CT do a starter rebuild video , the only bad thing is probably the solenoid but you could make it look like new
Great vid CT, its always a pleasure to watch,very entertaining..and I always learn something..even if its something i allready know, but had forgot! Lol! Thanks man!🤘
@@type2523 Great idea man! I might do that! Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
Thanks Wesley! I try to learn something new everyday even if I learned it before! =) Thanks man!!!
@@CTmoog haha,yep 🤘✌
I've been turning wrenches since 1968, and was watching my neighbour before then. I have the experience, but health now keeps me from working on these full time. I still can rebuild one, did my first when I was 16 years old (1970). You are making progress, keep up the good work and you might get there.....
Wow that is pretty cool. I bet you have some awesome tools! Thanks Michael! I appreciate that man! do it when you can and be heathy my friend!
This is one of the most beautiful VW models in Brazil. Very popular in the 70s and 80s. Your hands are miraculous; you will certainly do a great job there.
Yes, it really is a beautiful car! Thanks you so much! I appreciate that! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
The stabilizer bar is a factory stock unit. It is installed to make handling better. It was NOT installed to rub the insulation off the positive battery cable allowing it to ground out and burn the car down. When you remove the cable to correct this, you could put that flat washer that is on the starter end between the cable and the lock washer in it's correct location. The next time you remove the starter you should install the top bolt into the starter before installing the starter. This is a great aligning tool. A piece of copper wire wrapped around the threads on the engine compartment will hold the bolt in place until you start the nut and washers. when the nut is started a few turns, it's easy to pull the wire out if you leave enough wire to reach over the fan housing. Remember this is an air cooled engine. Running it without the air supply hoses between the fan housing and the heater connections can cause the engine to over heat and self destruct. Hot air returning into the air intake on this engine is like blocking off air going through the radiator on a water cooled car.
For an economy start-up, usually all you do is file the points and gap them, see that there is current to them, prime the old carb with some fuel after running up some oil pressure and see is she'll start, then trouble shoot from there. 'Jonathan W.' can usually get an old engine running without replacing any parts. First get it running then only replace what is needed.
Please remember when INSTALLING a car battery. ALWAYS connect FIRST the + (posetive) terminal and then remove the - (negative) terminal. That prevents risk for demage if/when your tool hits the chassie.
When you REMOVE the car battery. ALWAYS disconnect FIRST the - (negative "earth") and after that the + (posetive) terminal.
ps. This is for cars with a negative ground (negatvie in the chassie.).

from Dalsbruk in the South of Finland
This is really inspiring man! I had a 69 Bug and 64 Bus in the 80s and have been bitten by the bug again. There is a 68 or 69 Ghia not far from my house for cheap. No dents or cancer but no engine either. It's Signal Orange. I'm kinda in love with it!
Go for it man! It's good fun! =)
Congratulations CT! It's a runner! And believe it or not: you are making me less and less nervous with your mechanical attempts! Woo Hoo! ...Newk from Kentucky
It’s good to hear it running. ✌️👏👏👏👏
Yes, it sounds pretty good. I can't wait to drive it. Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
Good work & good video!!!!
the engine oil and grease helped to protect the engine metal surfaces. glad you are bringing this wonderful car back to life.
Tough work again. Typical sound of an air cooled VW engine which used to be so familiar in my childhood. Sounds great anyway. Greetings from Germany which is today celebrating 30 years fall of the Berlin wall.
Hello Michael! Yes, I love that sound! Do you still see Tham around your town? Wow! 30 years! That is awesome! That was a big moment in history! I remember seeing it on TV when I was a kid.
@@CTmoog Hello CT, no air cooled cars are completely extincted due to environmental laws and of course technical progress. I think the same in US. However there are still many veteran clubs which take care of air cooled Volkswagen in germany. Of and on they go out for a drive especially in summer.
Thumbs up from a fellow air cooled rear engine guy...Corvair owner :-)
23:52 Damn LUCKY you didn't arch the wrench across the battery! Always, connect the POSITIVE FIRST to help prevent a shorting accident.
I love the olds cars 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
The construction of the body panels at the Karmann factory in Osnabrück for these cars is a story unto itself. Also, congratulations on 70 K subscribers!
I like the way you are going about this. I learn more by watching you learn than I do from people who know all. Keep up the good work. Enjoy.
great to have many project(s) as not to get bored...your welding and fitting skills were just starting to bloom...the ghia looks and sounds good from cold and rainy Seattle txs for sharing
Hey Tom! Yes, I have plenty of projects to keep me busy. I was in Seattle back in August and it was really nice. I hope it clears up for you. Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
Doing good CT. Just a tip if you don't mind, always hook up the positive side of the battery first, then the ground because if you hook the ground first then go to the positive and touch any metal with the wrench sparks can fly and be dangerous, due to completing the circuit. the engine sounded good, adj the timing,the carb mixture , points etc. good job. clean engine bay with gunk and wash off, will help with leaks etc.
Thanks Tom! That is good advice my friend! I will do that from now on! Yes, it needs a good bath! =) Thank you! Stay tuned!
Congratulations CT, on getting this wee beauty running! Had fingers on both hands crossed for you to get him/her running and you did! Man, how I love the sound of an air cooled VW running. Music to my ears! Good luck with this Ghia!
Thank you! Stay Tuned!
She runs great to have been off the road for so long. It fires right up and should be able to invade Bug Fest with no problem! Pretty nice little ride it'll be fun to see a road test once you get some brakes on it. Glad to see it running!
Adjust the valves, new valve cover gaskets, oil change, new cap, rotor, and points, adjust the timing, new belt, fix the gas leak. Good to go!
He plans on checking the timing but the valves should be at the top of the check list on a VW
Salut ct bon boulot ce n'est toujours pas facile de travailler seul. Continu comme ça. Bonjour de la 🇫🇷.
Thank you! Stay tuned for the next video! =)
I just brought a conv. K.; thanks for the inspiration..GOOD JOB!😉🥳🎆🎇🏎️
G'day from Australia. That is not dirt and grease, it is the VW patent-pending anti-rust system. All old VW cars were fitted with this advanced system.
This is True Car.
Great completion, a produce of perseverance! Just a friend Ron
Smooth sailing buddy! Another one soon to be back on the road. I love the resurrection videos! Fantastic work CT!
Hey Thomas! Thanks man! I appreciate that! Thank you! Stay tuned for the next video!
Enjoyed your journey.
sounds like a sweet VDub. I've never had a Ghia but Bug and squarbacks. good job.
You forgot the washers under the bolts 🤔. Now it needs a little fine tuning with the carb, valves and timing and she is ready to go. But great vid.
Hell my friend! Yes, I did. I didn't;t realize that. I will be going back over it soon. Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
Nice job on the 67, sounds pretty smooth, I’m in the process of doing this on my 68 ghia
Thanks man! Yes it does sound pretty good but it needs work. Good luck on your 68! Thank you! Stay tuned for the next video!
Better not do like this. This guy is screwing up on every thing he does.
Excellent work
Great job as always.
Thank you so much for your videos.
I wish all the best for you and I wish you success.
Best regards, Hossein.
Hello Hossein! Thank you sir much! I really appreciate that! THANK YOU! =)
Carburante- fili- bubina batteria, sei stato fortunato a trovare questo bel esemplare di auto 😀👏🏅
Great work, great sound😁😁
Um grande abraço do amigo Marcos Pokux do Brasil , vw aqui são muito recuperados , show Parabéns
Thank you so much! Stay tuned for more! =)
I just love the sound from an air-cooled VW
Germany are great car builders
Sounds really good! It’s a chripper! 👍
Despite the delay in running the engine, what really counts is the memory of reviewing a reviving old model. Don't care about negative comments, your initiative and persistence is what drives you to success. I guarantee you that if you were a doctor and the sick negativists wanting to be helped, they would insistently ask you not to abandon them. Congratulations and lots of success!! São Paulo. Brasil
Hey CT thr Ghia is looking good, one tip from me, I learned when you disconnect a battery, always remove negative first and then the positive, and when you connect is vice versa, so you can't damage the battery when you touch the negative side of your car with your wrench, when you (dis) connect the positive pole 🔧👍
Hey Charles, that is a great tip! Thank you! Stay tuned for the next video!
This car is so beutiful.
Of the 10 VWs I have owned (from a 1960 Beetle to a 2012 Golf diesel), my favorite by far was my 1969 Karmann-Ghia convertible!
If you don't have a timing light, you can line up the marks on the crankshaft pulley to the correct notch and then twist the distributor until you hear the points spark...also not having the vacuum line attached to the distributor, would cause. a minor vacuum leak which could make it hard to start imo.....good job !!
Another great project. I don’t ever remember a Ghia coming with a rear sway bar. I remember front ones but not rear. That’s a weird looking sway bar link. Engine sounds great; good enough to drive🍺
Yes, I guess it was a factory add on "option" maybe? I don't know. I have to dig into it some more and find out. Yes, the engine sounds pretty good but it has a bad oil leak....Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
@@CTmoog 67 and 68 Type 1 VWs were swing axle cars. The rear sway bars were introduced in 67 to fight a dangerous condition that developed during hard cornering where the inner rear wheel would camber inward causing a measure of rear steering that in turn caused a lot of accidents. Because of this the rear drive axles were redesigned and done away with in 69 when VW went to a true IRS rear suspension made possible by fully articulating CV axles. The 68 Type 1s that had the auto stick transmissions had the later style rear axles as well.
Camber compensater. 67 and 68
I am going to bring my 1963 911 porsche 2 u guys 4 restoreation..U r awesome mechanics!
Not sure if it was mentioned or not but that thing on the rear shocks is stock sway bar. My 68 bug had one but that was tossed way before I got her. I have most of it but missing parts for it to put it back in. Slowly making her as stock original as I can

Awesome find with the guía..Great vid
YES! It's a sweet ride! Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
This car is beautiful! Nice video!!!
Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
It sounds pretty decent. The timing, mixture, idle speed and valves need adjustment and points replaced. That oil needs to be changed as well, ran for 30 minutes or driven that long and the oil changed again.
nicely done!
was waiting for him to touch the terminals together with the wrench...while he was grossly over tightening the Cables..lol
That's the car to get back on the road. they were awesome.
Can’t wait to see it drive
Hey Matthew! Me too! Should be soon! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
Thank you for doing what you do
finally you still use the old distributor and the engine starts, I watched the previous video.
Congratulations, you succeeded
Awesome strong starter.....love the oil tats on your forearms :). Great work dude! Video quality and production excellent. Want any volunteers for a working holiday ?
Wow no blowing smoke at all!!! Excellent!!
Man..I want a 60s model ghia so bad...I'm gonna have one ,one day
Yes you will get one soon! It's out there waiting for you!
@@CTmoog ...lol! That's a blessing coming from you! Thanks man!✌
tell my son & sometimes i think i'm telling myself " you cannot save them all": everytime a vw shows up on craiglist my son wants us to buy it. For me, it is enough of a struggle staying focused on one. I have a lot of great starts, but no got er dones....Now after 2 years of colleting dust I'm back at assembling and rebuilding my front bus beam, but it was delayed due to health issues. I want to get one of my three buses on the road next year...It will not be the one i want, my Bondo Condo the frame needs rebuilt and sections of it replace , so my 67 deluxe will be the one to focus on this winter.
Hey Dan. I hear you man! It's hard to pass up a good deal and it's fun finding them! Yo can never have too many in my eyes. I do want to get one don. That is something I need to work on. I'm going to try harder to stay focused on Rusty and get him done. I hope you make some good progress on the 67 deluxe this winter. Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
You’re gonna regret not putting lock washers on those starter nuts.
Hey Fed, I'm going to have to pull the motor to rebuild it soon. It is leaking oil bad. Stay tuned for the next update. I'll put the washers on after the rebuild. Thanks for reminding man! =)
Guys - you are so good ! I have stopped watching Benny Hill's show - your video is a best comedy show !
Nice car desde cd Juárez Chihuahua México bendiciones para todos ustedes cuidense mucho
Hey Jorge! Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
ola,
muito bom, parabéns
Nice new starter.
A great trick to hold a bolt in place so you can put the nut on use duck tape and put over the head of bolt .. There's a lot great tricks for one man job that would help out big time just like use duck tape on a box end wrench to hold the nut in when you can't with fingers
CT check the carb jetting. main jet behind the float drain. sometimes they are located inside it sometimes at the back they come usually only a 120 should be around 130 or it will burn up that motor. Every once and a while 125 127 just buy all 3. check it first. usually 120.
Complimenti per la tua professionalità 😀🤚🏼bellissima auto-motore gira rotondo,
The old starter might be faulty due to the pinion lever being seized. If you have time, you can remove the soleniod and see if the internal lever moves. These starters were advanced at the time ( pre-engaged ) type. As they fired, the small gear would start to turn as it was thrown towards the flywheel. This helped it reduce wear on both gears. It also minimised any stuck starter like Fords etc, that only had an inertia type.
Congratulations ct great job and great engine sound
Thanks Ali! I appreciate that! Stay tuned for more!
Don’t listen to all these professionals! Enjoy your ride no matter how long it takes!
It does not look like the adjusting screw for the throddle is adjusted right. Try turning the screw to give it a bit more gas. Once you have the throdle screw adjusted so it runs with a little higher rpm you should be able to leave it there. Good luck.
oh man i do like these old Carmin Ghia’s ✌️😎👍
Yes, they really are pretty cool cars! Thank you! Stay tuned for the next video!
The Karmin Ghia was VW's answer to competing with the sports car market. A small, economical car that was fun to drive and did not take your childs college fund savings to buy. Neat little cars, really in a class all their on. There is a lady in town who retired as a librarian who bought one brand new, she still has it and drives it regularly. Everyone in town knows Miss Jeane.....lol....
Top parabéns
wauuu. nice.
Where's Mustie when you need him???
That mysterious suspension part is called a Z bar.
It was added to swing axle suspension to help stabilize the car under heavy cornering.
The way it works is when one side's wheel tucks into the wing (fender on your side of the pond) the bar applies a force to push the other wheel downwards working the opposite of a sway bar.
Have a read of this article on this great site. www.aircooled.net/vw-handling-suspension-tuning/
Really fancy a Ghia myself.
Thats really man! Thanks for sharing that. I has no idea! Yes, the Ghia are pretty sweet! =) Thank you so much! Stay tuned for more! =)
The starters remind me of the newer ones from like the Golf, Jetta, Passat, Polo, etc.
Hope she's driving again soon!
Thanks man! I appreciate that brother!
Solenoid (sp) usually what go bad on the starter can be rebuilt👍 by a electric motor shop as well the altinator (sp) generator ? 6 or 12 volt system?
Wish I still had my 59 vw !
Nice going....I did add some to your narration while watching the video....I had to add "That's what she said" many times since u missed the opportunity.
HAHA! Thanks man! I need that! =)
No flat or lock washers used on the starter?
Hey Terry! Good eye man! I need to go back and put those on. I might be pulling the engine out. It needs some work. Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
That Ghia's motor is not even smoking take a compression test you may not even need to rebuild it
I agree, just need to check the valve clearance and a good cleaning top and bottom
17 Maybe most good mechanics would not mistake a 13 for a 17 spanner and the connector thing is a crimp connector which fits a spade connector.
bom vídeo ,valeu ..
Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
Boy I tell you rookies vw s are so. Easy Damm frustrating watching this guy I could have rebuild the whole motor
Very nice, runs well, no smoke, you did a very good job.
I really appreciate that! Yes, it runs pretty good! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
Sounds pretty good! Running on all 8 cylinders...LOL
HAHA! Thanks George!
Wow, she runs.
Hey Lucas! YES!!! =) Pretty good too! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
@@CTmoog I will, my friend. Keep up the good work.
Bene mentre montavi motorino ti suggerivo idealmente quello che dovevi fare sembra che mi hai sentito 👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

One more check off the to do list and one step closer to Bug Jam.
Yes, it's getting better. I won't make bug jam this year. It started today and I'm not ready. Next time! =) Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
Always wanted a Karmann but never found one cheap enough...Had several beetles and a van over the years though...My first car ever at age 15 was a 65 beetle...that i pulled out of a field and it was my first engine rebuild....got it for free since it had a rod sticking out through the crankcase and put a fight with stuck brakes even for a large tractor. I would like to find a good KG with a bad engine or engine completey missing though. I have a 13B rotary that i been wanting to transplant into a VW.
Yes, they are really cool. It's hard to find one cheap. Look on Craigs List and The Samba. They are out there.
@@CTmoog thanks....I'll check samba out....local craiglist never have karmann ghia....down south everyone thinks karmann ghia is some exotic mexican dish served at expensive restaurants.
ottimo lavoro sicilia Palermo ok
Nice CT, sounds good except at idle. Yep, check the timing ect.. you mentioned but also if it has a vacuum leak. Air coming in from a bad gasket or something like that. You can find leaks with a spray bottle with soapy water. Look for air bubbles. I agree that motor needs a good gunk bath.
Thanks Tim! Yes, I'm going to dive deeper into this week. Thanks for the tips man! I'll give that try! Yes, she is a dirty girl!!! =)
Cool, I just picked up a sub from one of your followers👍 I hope he likes my videos. I really enjoy yours. Keep up the good work. Oh good lighting is something I could improve on. Your lighting is excellent by the way
When i was a kid they had "Hot VW's and buggy magazine....or the other way around. anyway,,,,i wanted one of these sucks BAD!
yah it goes, now you have several to finish! like me (it pays to focus on one at a time! don't ask How I know) Good Work CT
Hey Rob, Yes, I get distracted with other projects. Sounds like you know what I'm going through. I need to stay on track with one and get it done. Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
@@CTmoog well you had to see if it works :) Would love a ghia! (to add to the two vans and two mgs )
I can imagine Columbo driving this.
Engine sounded good to me, from a cold rainy UK
Yes, it sounds pretty good. Sorry about the weather! Come to Florida it's really nice this time of year! Stay warm! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
