this is the engine that was sitting in the passenger seat of a 1958 beetle parked in a swamp for 30+ years, its a mess but will it still run? lets find out.
My husband loves what you do. He never misses a video. And this is a man who does'nt really like UA-cam. He always ask if I comment, so now I am...❤️😊. You are bloody brilliant...love you in the UK.
@@tetedur377 well thanks for sticking up for me. And what if I did like him...he has an amazing personality..looks are nothing... jealousy is a bitch😂😂😂
I know right !!! it gets me every time lol,,, still just amazed what this guy can make run lol !!! let the Musitifcation process begin buuuwaaahaaaaa !!!!
I am 70 years old. In my youth, I owned three Volkswagens, 1958,1966 and 1967. I absolutely loved them all. I rebuilt the 1958 when the tooth broke in the rotor button causing the engine to go out of time which took out two cylinders. I had a free 1959 engine and used it to rebuild the 1958. I really enjoy your videos.
Even when the engine is a basket case, Mustie can turn out an entertaining video! And when it fires and he laughs, the whole thing is worth the price of admission for sure! Thanks for starting my Sunday off right!
A shop vac has 2 functions 1 it cleans and stores waste from the shop 2 it is the most effective way of spreading the smell of anything you vacuum up to every part of the shop.
I use vacuum bags in my shop vac they work great and super easy just pop it out when its full and you dont get particles or the smell flying out when ur useing it ...they are about 7 bucks a piece at home depot
@@patf03 vac bags can't stop smell otherwise they would stop airflow so either its the placebo effect where you believe its doing it or nose blindness where you are already use to the smell or you don't encounter any really strong smells so they don't spread as far, even a hepa filter can't stop all smells.
Absolutely, and no silly titles, no five minutes wasted with sponsor crap, no long list of patrons at the end, no pointless music, but instead just pure mechanical entertainment from the first "Hey guys, how's it going" to the last "Thanks for watching and hanging out in the garage".
Darren, I think I speak for all of us, when I say thank you for putting a smile on our faces!! At first I thought what a bummer, then this engine came to life, and cracked me up!! Thank you!!!
"This is fun!" he said, turning to me. I noticed one eyebrow missing, the other, an interesting shade of blackish-brown. With a wide grin and a snigger, he turned back to the engine, squirted a seemingly large amount of fuel into the carburetor, and hit the go button once more. The engine roared to life once again, causing him to squeal with glee. Mustie, you bring a smile to my face every time I watch you work. I get that same giddiness when something works out. Thank you.
soo look forward to a Mustie video on a Sunday in the UK... Sense of humor and an easy to follow explanation of what you are doing....and to see an engine in such bad shape fire for one last time. I'm sure we all have the same smile on our faces when you fire them up " for shits and giggles". great watch as always
These old VW engine startups are always fun to watch. It's amazing sometimes that these old crusty things will run with the proper persuasion. You truly are a wizard at this.
i love watching you getting these old engines running again, even that one that has a seized piston, that you freed up and still got it to run. love the videos.
Been watch over the last year and have to say you are truly inspiring. Such a wealth of knowledge. Love the "use what you got mentality". Watching your videos has given me the courage to take on all my own small engine repairs. 4 scooters, lawnmower, weed wacker and snow blower later I'm so grateful and loving every bit of the process.
Awesome teacher. I hope you never lose your passion for what you do, it's infectious and I'm sure most of your subscribers would agree that you're skills are very, very special. Ty for sharing your skills AND humour.
I enjoy that you are able to repeat certain aspects of the engine workings that not only helps new watchers, but doesn't talk down to your long-time viewers that know more from having watched you work. That's a great trait you have, and you would do well to teach HS shop classes.
Thanks for the fun!! I get a real kick out of your light heartedness and humility when you take on any thing and bring us along. Thank you again! Waiting for more wrenching fun with you, God Bless!
Still quite impressive that you got her to run. This is why I like your videos. Not just for the repairs, but how ol' mustie doesn't give up easily. Even if it's royally effed, he knows some tricks to get things apart and get her to turn over. And worst case scenario, he finds a replacement part or engine. That's what I love about these videos. The hope it gives. That nearly everything can be saved or given a second chance in one way or another. And that's how I want to live my life. Fixing up things and giving things a second chance that would've ended up in the trash otherwise, so that they can lead a usefull life once more.
Thanks for another Sunday Utube. This on brought by memories of a few years go ,when youdid many rebuilding of VW engines in your old workshop. Always Happy viewing ,!! Greeting from Cheshire UK
Nicely done! There’s a cheesy saying about the journey not the destination that matters… definitely applies here. For me, this is inspiration for my own projects and trouble shooting and I bet for many others too. Thanks!
They sell foot switches on Amazon. My friend just bought 2 of them for a Christmas model train layout for a historical society. He uses them to let kids activate different scenes. Wiring one as a start switch would be incredibly easy.
Darren, you reminded me of my first VW Transporter. I bought it not running as it had say for a long time. I had to take the engine out, repaired it, put it back in without all the cooling tins. Drove it a couple miles or so and overheated it. I learned that I didn't know more than VW.
I started watching when Covid started. It has kept me going throughout it. I am 84 and never had the opportunity to do the small engine stuff . The other day me snowblower was hunting and I found a very small piece of a leaf in the jet at the bottom of the carburetor. Now my 30 plus blower woks fine . Thanks Mr Mustie1. Merry Christmas from Greg
Mustie1, That engine surprised me. I really didn’t think she would run. Fire once or twice maybe, but running by itself on all 4. Those are some amazing little engines. And you, well we’ve all said it many times before - Great work! Moving that timing back to where it was did a lot of good. Mustie1 - Get Another - Good- compression tester. Still a hole through the stand shaft at 0 deg and another at 90 deg then put a rod on a chain through it so the engine won’t turn on you. The pressure tightening isn’t working very well for you anymore.... haha. Thanks for another fun Sunday morning. (Now where did I put that old engine I found at the bottom of the lake? I know I had it here somewhere?)
That motor at the end sounded better than the day it came off the assembly line. Haha. Love the videos man, I love that you put it all in one video and keep it entertaining the whole experience. Great job! Love it!
The nice thing about the shake n' break is that they make internal torx bits for that tool as well. It uses 5/16" (~8mm) instead of 1/4" hex drive bits . The square drive version of this tool is wonderful for exhaust flange bolts, among other things.
Hey just an FYI, there are new vacuum advance canisters available now. They're a generic unit compared to the many Bosch P/Ns Got one for my '75...works great
Great idea with the slow-mo sequence at the end, makes the actual mechanical function of a combustion engine very concrete - and reminds us about about the origin of this engine, sounds like a WWII battle going on. Thank you
Just a great vid on all VW engine stuff. I have learnt more on your vid than any other over the past 20 years. As the owner of 2 Beetles thank you. Happy New year. Carl
I was a VW addict back in the last century and I had the same issue with the engine stand not wanting to stay in the same place. I fixed that problem by drilling a hole behind the clamping screw and holes at 90deg around the arbor and used a #3 (used) exhaust valve to stop rotation. I also loved the sound of the first firing of a repaired engine. Great videos!
You have completely changed my perspective on what is a “dead engine”! I would have bet the farm that that thing would NOT RUN! Utterly amazing once again!!!
Seeing all the junk in the start of the video, I never expected it would run with all the original components. I am amazed that it did run that well with some poor compression results. Great video
Yup, pretty much exactly on the valves/timing. It did "run" though, of course, it's you! When it backfires through the valves that aren't seating it blows the fuel/air charge back out the carb, killing the engine. When you played with the timing it runs (relatively) much better and looks like it runs enough that it's sealing the valves back up / building compression back in. Love my Mustie Sunday mornings. Wash the plugs off (we used sandpaper and old gas in the days!) and put a vacuum gauge on it to see if you can narrow down the valves that aren't playing nicely.
Yes, that timing change was the difference -- before that, way too much fire was coming out of the exhaust ports, rather than pushing the pistons, meaning that the plugs were firing late.
I just picked up a sweet 1964 Ariens Sno-Thro from FB Marketplace. It's 57 years old and built like a damn tank. The original Tecumseh leaks some oil but still starts on the second pull. I've spent all weekend cleaning, sanding, painting and making her pretty again. I put on new skid shoes and pull start, changed the fluids and greased everything up. Should be ready to destroy anything that gets in it's way. Thanks for the inspiration, knowledge, and cool videos!
Mustie! I love when you do these old shot engines. I have learned so much about these engines watching you. PLEASE do more of these old engines. Salvage EVERYTHING......that doesn't have a hole in it! PLEASE!!
When I was a kid, I often daydreamed about starting up old engines that hadn’t run in many years. Now, I’ve learned it isn’t that easy. That last compression tester is the same as mine. It’s really old! Like over 50 years! Bought mine when I was a kid.
In restoration generally we tighten half a thread before undoing,soak those parts with diesel Mustie,leave for a day or two,you know this stuff my good man,your the resto guru.
We enjoy all of your videos,How long or short.We watch and stay tune. Taking apart and having fun is what we like.Thank You for all of your Time of filming and editing all of your videos.We have LEARNED so much, so we want you to keep Making a lot more Videos PLEASE MUSTIE SIR. CHEERS
Another great Vlog, esp like Darren’s child like laugh and giggle when the engine fires up , super episode, and great explanation of how the carby and other parts of the engine operate, well done and very entertaining, cheers from Downunder ❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
That slow motion footage makes it really easy to hear that the engine runs on four cylinders when at full revs but when it runs out of fuel it immediately goes to a 1..2..3.....1..2..3.... sound and then dies. Interesting. Also: the flameage is brilliant.
Great video! Thanks. A huge advantage to working on one particular brand/type of car over decades. He goes to get an oil cooler from his stash and finds an ignition switch with keys. I'm in a similar position (to a lesser degree) with the small chassis Triumph cars ( Spitfire, GT6, Herald, Sports6/Vitesse). Lots of parts plus proper hardware, wire harnesses, gauges etc. Very hard to locate parts, that for me, are just up in the attic or on a shelf. Keep it coming. Fun stuff!
hello from France Mustie here on old engines, we start them with a little gasoline and spray cleaner spray for the brakes in the carburetor and the start is instantaneous to avoid heating the starter ... good luck
I have an a-hole in my town that does all the okd Volkswagen work and would never take me under his wing to teach me this stuff even when I said I’d work for free. Thanks for freely showing this stuff.
THANK YOU, Mustie1, for a great video. I'm plumb tickled you're over your Covid ! I just LOVE your LAUGH ! We hear it when you get positive results! Here's a tip from an old machanist: Anytime you're posed with steel/aluminum, use Turpentine like Liquid Wrench/or Tap-Free. I wish you would take stuff, like tgat, outside when you blow it off, so all that rat crap doesnt put a dust over your entire shop, and pressure wash it instead, or blow it out OUTSIDE. With it twisting in the stand, put a jack stand under the twist down side. I care about your health ! You make a positive difference in all our lives !!!
Just shows you how simple an infernal combustion engine really is! Thanks for letting us all come 'round and hang for a while Mustie. Much appreciated! ☮️🤗
Nice wildfire lift, I don't know how long you've had it but it's the first time I've noticed it. I've been thinking about getting one, all the UA-camrs seem to have them now haha
When I first saw you digging into this thing I said to myself.." self..what a POS that is!" Well I've come to two conclusions. One being a VW motor is very hard to kill and TWO...you are VERY GOOD at what you do Darren!!! I've been a follower since you had about 50k subscribers and patiently await every "will it run" episodes. Thank you not only for the entertainment value but also for the educational value. Now you have me looking for another Bug. 50 yrs ago my first car was a '61 I paid $2.00 from a guy up the street. Wish I still had it lol.
Lets make a boat anchor run , crowd says" that thing will NEVER run " Mustie 1 says, hold my beer, and the boat anchor runs , it runs against all odds. So very well done sir BRAVO !
A good engine is hard to kill with Darren behind the wrenches. And you were on a roll with all of the subtle jokes today. Must have had that extra cup of coffee. Good job!
Love your videos. Cheers from Hungary. A strange car Beetle is... It's got Napoleons hat in it, and in the slow mo, the engine plays a french march from the movie Waterloo...
I love watching you work on VW engines form crapped out cars more than anything. Your laugh is inspirational, and gives hope to us that we can make our POS cars run again! Keep up the good work. Don't change anything.
Awesome video mustie1 your videos are very Injoying and fun to watch I can’t get enough on watching you bring back rusty old engines to life your the man mustie1 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love watching your channel. You have taught me so much on troubleshooting my riding mower. Did you notice that at 53:05 there was a flash of flames on the left side of the motor.
It always blows my mind when you take an obvious piece of garbage and get it to start and run for a little while again. There aren't very many people in the world who would even take the time. I know it's a PITA to try to work and shoot a video at the same time. Thank you very much for these. I look forward to my coffee and a Mustie1 video on Sunday mornings.
Another Vee Dub love motor exploration extravaganza. Mustie man, you and 5150vw are my faves on VWs. Would love to see a Marathon video of you and him bringing a VW from a hulk to running champion 🏆.
Very glad you're on my always watch list, Just picked up a 71 VW Bus for great price but no motor or transaxle. Already located the transaxle though through a buddy so 1 down. My daughter has wanted 1 forever so it's her Christmas gift. A Father/Daughter project Christmas gift but at least she should know how to repair it should anything happen. Looking fwd to her face on Christmas day. Thanks for all your knowledge VW :)
This is Pure Gold! i love the backtracking of what happened to it and whatnot, and not all of them can be saved, but if someone can make them breathe fire for one last time its you! imagine if the guys doing the swap back in the day had a friend like you that could have told them about the flywheel issue, that seems to have been the reason this car was parked for death.
@mustie1. Turn that trigger for your starter pack into a foot pedal! Like the bead roller. Probably an old organ pedal will work similarly. Great vid. Love that rats nest is running!!
My husband loves what you do. He never misses a video. And this is a man who does'nt really like UA-cam. He always ask if I comment, so now I am...❤️😊. You are bloody brilliant...love you in the UK.

Same here. I have torn down a few that looked like that, and likely would not have even bothered with this one. Glad to see it run just one more time!

Yup, pretty much exactly on the valves/timing. It did "run" though, of course, it's you! When it backfires through the valves that aren't seating it blows the fuel/air charge back out the carb, killing the engine. When you played with the timing it runs (relatively) much better and looks like it runs enough that it's sealing the valves back up / building compression back in. Love my Mustie Sunday mornings.

Yes, that timing change was the difference -- before that, way too much fire was coming out of the exhaust ports, rather than pushing the pistons, meaning that the plugs were firing late.

Here's a tip from an old machanist:
Anytime you're posed with steel/aluminum, use Turpentine like Liquid Wrench/or Tap-Free.
I wish you would take stuff, like tgat, outside when you blow it off, so all that rat crap doesnt put a dust over your entire shop, and pressure wash it instead, or blow it out OUTSIDE.
With it twisting in the stand, put a jack stand under the twist down side.
I care about your health ! You make a positive difference in all our lives !!!
We need a montage of you laughing when engines start.
There’s that laugh when another dead engine returns to life. A master mechanic at work!
Just shows you how simple an infernal combustion engine really is!
Thanks for letting us all come 'round and hang for a while Mustie. Much appreciated! ☮️🤗
Thanks for keeping me company while I work on my old GSXR.
✌️👍
Nice wildfire lift, I don't know how long you've had it but it's the first time I've noticed it. I've been thinking about getting one, all the UA-camrs seem to have them now haha
He made a vid a few months back of putting it in
Love watching Mustie1 in his element. Taking a dead VW and bringing it back to life.
You're the best, didn't think you could bring that one back....great job!!
I don't know what it is with the VW engines/cars but I loved watching you play with this. Great vid. Thank you.
I just came here for the the "It fired" giggle.
Hey Krustie. When is the "Police Bug" going to be back on the schedule? I wanna see your magical ways on that one. Thank You for everything you do!
Krustie lol don`t you mean Mustie
@@GaryC203 Haha. I hope he sees that!!
When I first saw you digging into this thing I said to myself.." self..what a POS that is!" Well I've come to two conclusions. One being a VW motor is very hard to kill and TWO...you are VERY GOOD at what you do Darren!!! I've been a follower since you had about 50k subscribers and patiently await every "will it run" episodes. Thank you not only for the entertainment value but also for the educational value. Now you have me looking for another Bug. 50 yrs ago my first car was a '61 I paid $2.00 from a guy up the street. Wish I still had it lol.
I did not think you could get anything out of that boat anchor. Great entertainment. Thanks for the smile.
Lets make a boat anchor run , crowd says" that thing will NEVER run " Mustie 1 says, hold my beer, and the boat anchor runs , it runs against all odds. So very well done sir BRAVO !
Hope you get back on the Econoline soon 😎
Sundays with Mustie 1, great way to spend my morning seems to satisfy my need till next Sunday...txs for sharing your timely videos
A good engine is hard to kill with Darren behind the wrenches. And you were on a roll with all of the subtle jokes today. Must have had that extra cup of coffee. Good job!
First
Great video. Love the VW videos,my father had camper van,and a bug from the 60’s. Always fun to watch.
Mustie 1 Iam Happy To See You Revisited This Project. Thanks For Taking Me Along
Love your videos. Cheers from Hungary. A strange car Beetle is... It's got Napoleons hat in it, and in the slow mo, the engine plays a french march from the movie Waterloo...
I love watching you work on VW engines form crapped out cars more than anything. Your laugh is inspirational, and gives hope to us that we can make our POS cars run again! Keep up the good work. Don't change anything.
Really enjoyed this video. Just came across your channel. Look forward to watching more videos. Thanks
Awesome video mustie1 your videos are very Injoying and fun to watch I can’t get enough on watching you bring back rusty old engines to life your the man mustie1 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love watching your channel. You have taught me so much on troubleshooting my riding mower. Did you notice that at 53:05 there was a flash of flames on the left side of the motor.
Thanks Darrin I love these videos with engines back from the dead!
Brilliant , really enjoyed this episode ... Regards from the UK.
Awesome shop time Mustie1, thanks for having us over!
Love the locomotive sound effects at the very end, great editing!
You brought it back to life!!! Great educational video!!!! And it was FUN !!!! Thank you!!!
It always blows my mind when you take an obvious piece of garbage and get it to start and run for a little while again. There aren't very many people in the world who would even take the time. I know it's a PITA to try to work and shoot a video at the same time. Thank you very much for these. I look forward to my coffee and a Mustie1 video on Sunday mornings.
Another Vee Dub love motor exploration extravaganza. Mustie man, you and 5150vw are my faves on VWs. Would love to see a Marathon video of you and him bringing a VW from a hulk to running champion 🏆.
I wish you could have been my shop teacher. I learn so much from your videos!
Very glad you're on my always watch list, Just picked up a 71 VW Bus for great price but no motor or transaxle. Already located the transaxle though through a buddy so 1 down. My daughter has wanted 1 forever so it's her Christmas gift. A Father/Daughter project Christmas gift but at least she should know how to repair it should anything happen. Looking fwd to her face on Christmas day. Thanks for all your knowledge VW :)
This is Pure Gold! i love the backtracking of what happened to it and whatnot, and not all of them can be saved, but if someone can make them breathe fire for one last time its you! imagine if the guys doing the swap back in the day had a friend like you that could have told them about the flywheel issue, that seems to have been the reason this car was parked for death.
Brilliant video Mustie I love hearing these old non runner engines burst into life 👍
You are having WAY too much fun!!!! Thanks again for making my day!
This is the very best"Will it run" video by far !
Good job , thanks
I love these junk motor / curb find rebuilds or at least tests series! More please?
1:13, that comment cracked me up!! even the mrs laughed! Awsome start to my evening Musite 😂 Keep up the good work! Much Love from the UK 💪
@mustie1. Turn that trigger for your starter pack into a foot pedal! Like the bead roller. Probably an old organ pedal will work similarly.
Great vid. Love that rats nest is running!!
