James here. I focus on saving cars and motorcycles through the repair of components, not their replacement. Anything that can be, gets recycled or reused. Doing things this way might take more time, but it produces little waste. I also believe in conserving water, hence the love of air-cooled technology!
Throughout these videos you will also find themes of history, exploration and nature, as well as some items written in Europe's oldest language of literature, Irish. The Irish words are to appease the rust fairies. At this stage I'll try anything to get some projects finished.

We're in the slow part of any restoration, that bit in the middle. Prepping and waiting for parts to arrive eats up time. It's like a Samuel Beckett play. But without Lambretta parts.

@techshebeen Great video What are the torque for the Cooling fan Fan shroud. And Clutch.
@@pescaadictiva1 thanks for the comment! If it's in the video, it's a setting I used. Take a look at a Bentley or Haynes manual for those figures, they might be in there.
Just finished watching the series as I am going to be pulling and servicing the engine in my 77 in the next few days. I wanted to thank you; this series is invaluable, the results are stunning, and the videography is both soothing to watch and incredibly well done. I was stunned to see you only have 1.5k subscribers - the quality of work you are doing is on par or better than similar channels with 100’s of thousands. Thank you again for preserving this process on video for generations to come.
@@scriptsrl That is a wonderful comment, thank you very, very much! I really appreciate it... To be honest, this channel is kinda like a small club, so I'm pretty happy with that too! 😂
@@scriptsrl Best of luck with the resto; it's really rewarding work! 💪💪💪
Helo bạn rất giỏi sửa chữa máy móc và các thiết bị động cơ ,bạn đã làm tái sinh lại những bộ máy cũ đã bị hư hỏng 👍.
@@GardeningandMyDailyLife Cảm ơn!
@@GardeningandMyDailyLife Bạn làm video rất thư giãn! 😌
Very explanatory. Nice work
@@oladimejiaiyemi9157 Thanks for the lovely comment!
Excelente proyecto felicitaciones
@@pedroesparzahernandez3769 Gracias, Pedro!
For anyone doing the altenator bearings: the two bearings are different sizes. The one which is on the shaft is a 051903221A bearing and the one in the housing is a 6203 RS C3. It is better to search for these parts numbers rather than "VW 1973 alternator bearings" as they cost $6 if you find by the parts number rather than $40 if you buy from a vw distributor. Also, there is a useful tool I found while doing this for removing the bearings. You can look for "bearing puller kits" online that are not too expensive. I spent an hour trying to dremel mine off and wasn't able to get it. The bearing puller kit took it off in 3 minutes including setup time. Great videos by the way, they are just what I needed to fix up my bus!
Watched all four of your videos two or three times now as I’ve just acquired a 1971 bus with the same engine. I’m sure I’ll use your videos when I pull my engine for a refresh. Excellent work and attention to detail, definitely the best step by step video showing each part in detail. Brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@olivertowers5710 Thanks a million for the great comment, Oliver! Best of luck with the new bus! 💪💪💪
Beautifully restored engine! Thank you for sharing!
@@MEE-gf6du Thanks for the great comment!
Just a few notes. The flywheel should be machined equally on both surfaces. Disc surface and pressure plate mounting surface to retain the correct distance. Also the main issue with these old factory dual carbs are the throttle shaft bushings. Absolutely make sure the shaft/bushings are perfect. There is a huge write up on the correct steps to adjust/set the carbs. When they are perfect there is nothing better as a dual carb setup but if one thing out of 30 adjustments is out they are hours and hours and hours of diagnosing.
I really enjoy to see your videos! Excellent made! As my 1952 NSU kick-lambretta needed same coparable support some years ago I am really ecited to see you working on the right engine side which I could not finish finally. Everything else is comparably easy to fix I feel… so I left out gearbox as well as right side main sealing. So the scooter is running well, but consuming and loosing gearbox oil. Luckily not leaking into the brake. Frank
@@frankst5889 Thanks for the comment, Frank! Sometimes it's just easier to keep topping up a leaky box when time is short. My VW is getting the same treatment, so I understand. I'm really looking forward to getting the next NSU video finished but my everyday job keeps getting in the way! 😭
can you give me some more info on the 3 white numbers on the tins i have 340 on my tin ?/
@@Coltess69 I honestly don't know for sure what they mean; could be an inspection number or a production run. I'm open to enlightenment on this one.
@techshebeen no I have looked on the net there's nothing on this but I intend to do the same as you and put the number back on to the newly painted tin
would this fit in a 914?
@@ernie-qu9em In my experience, depending on just how much metal one is prepared to cut away, anything can be made fit anything.
Next time, if you take the carrier bolts out at the top of the gearbox bell housing you can drop the engine down with the gearbox with the engine totally complete. I think you need to undo the small screw for the gearchange linkage and pull the linkage off the front of the gearbox so it doesn't bend.
@@chrisstuckey64 That's the easy way!
Hi did you make a video of the gearbox side crankcase rebuild on the NSU Prima D? I couldn't find it
@@jasonlain-d1b That one is in progress! Still filming, because work keeps getting in the way... 😭
Excellent videos. Very comprehensive.
Thank you, Andy!
good one
Thanks a million!
Excellent video on my first ride as a kid back in 1972 I had 5 of these little mopeds and paid between £3 and £ 5 each before moving up to an NSU Quickly 😊
@@vmaxash Thanks a million for the lovely comment! That is indeed unusual in that I too have moved onto an NSU... looks like Raleigh Wisps are a gateway drug.
That van is an absolute beauty! Great series watching you bring it back and enjoying it!
Thanks a million, Liam! The pay-off for all the work is driving it around this time of year, really enjoying it at the moment.
Thanks for that. I put a lot of hope to your videos. I will start my restoration when you finish your records, otherwise I'll stuck waiting for instructions ;-). Hurry up! summer is about to come. When next chapter?
😅 Thanks, Dominik! The next video is about 30% complete, but summer is my busiest time so things are going slower than I would like. The good news is the cylinder is re-bored to a new piston and I have it back. It might go slow but it never stops!
Super!
Appreciate these videos, its a big help. Just inherited a 73/74 westfalia with the same engine and carbs. Thinking about pulling the heads to check everything though. Ill have to check your channel to see if you have a breakdown
Thanks for the message, JP! Also, congratulations on your recent inheritance! Also, I love Space Ghost.
This by far the best video series on the T2 engine I have seen so far. You have helped answers a lot of question I have about restoring my 1972 T2 with a replacement engine which I still trying to sort out
Thank you for the lovely comment! Much appreciated. I hope you get your bus sorted. 🙏
ooh sailor 😂
I'd forgotten about that one, thanks for the reminder! 😂
Hello there, my father found a NSU prima in his shed not so long ago and these videos are motivating me to restore it. This series is very informative and will be great help for when i'm stumped on whatever problem I might face. 👌👌can't wait for the next video.
Fantastic stuff, thanks for the message! It's really great to hear about some of these scooters still around the place. I hope it goes well for you. They are truly amazing technology!
In which position do you install the needle? Original or what?
Going back to basics on this one!
Hi - is the Prima a good choice for a first "resto"? - how simple is it for a novice to work on..?
I'll let you know in a few months time! 😂
@@techshebeen what are your initial thoughts? - I have been offered one...in bits....
@@quietmind30 My initial thoughts are very positive... but that's largely driven in this case by having all the bits to make up a full Prima. 🤞
@@techshebeen Yes, good point - this one is definitely not 100% complete 🤔. Enjoying your videos, keep up the good work !
Thanks for another engaging update. I'm unlikely to ever work on one of these, but it's fascinating none the less. On the other hand, I AM about to pull the Type 4 engine out of my 1977 Bay for an 'ancillaries refresh', so will be leaning heavily on that excellent earlier series of yours. 😊 Just need to find a vapour blaster in West London to get that 'factory fresh' look!
Fantastic news, Matthew! Enjoy the experience. Plenty of cups of tea to be had while doing it, best of luck with the lump!
see you soon 😊
Nylon locknuts of the exhaust studs??? I'm intrigued!
Still doing it, four years later!
Da iawn, diolch! Gweld ti tro nesaf!
Thank you for keep sharing new update, this is great for sharing, keep safe and stay connected..
Unfortunately work keeps getting in the way! 😂
Someone beat that hub like it owed them money 😂. Good to see you're back with another video!
😂😅
Can u get parts for these in Ireland
There are plenty on my Wisp but they're not for individual re-sale!
Learning a lot about my type 4 engine by watching these vids. Thanks!
Thanks, David, glad you're enjoying it!
Hell yeah we need morel
Thanks a million for the comment my old pal! I'm busy working on the next video, it's gonna be long... but my real job keeps getting in that way! 😵💫 Stay tuned!
Just goes to show we did have it right before they tried to brain wash us

Thank you! Engine disassembly video is in progress... some things take longer than expected...
Looks unreal. Definitely doing it next time it runs. What kind of distance/time is it?
That depends on too many factors! 😂
@@techshebeen 🤣🤣. Far enough. I've never done anything like it before, so I was just wondering if it was 30 or 300 miles long (provided you don't get lost along the way 😜). I'm new to this craic, so I'm trying to figure out what to expect if it runs and if I get a chance to do it this year.
@@muirisscannell1176 I've seen both of those distances covered by many riders during this event... and I've been one of them! 😂
Danke!
Danke!
Thank you very much for this video, it helped me a lot. 🙋

Gracias... Que gran trabajo. Buen video.. jamás había puesto atención en estos motores gracias por mostrarlo con profesionalismo.
¡Muchas gracias por el comentario, amigo! El motor sigue funcionando muy bien, por lo que el duro trabajo valió la pena. 😌!
Felicitaciones, buen trabajo y muy bien explicado. Te consulto, por donde pones el aceite al motor?
@@rochaaldiatuportal9664 Estos motores tienen un cuello de llenado de aceite en el extremo de un tubo largo que va directamente al cárter. En la parte trasera del autobús, en el compartimento del motor.
I noticed some gouging in the head flats. I suggest decking it on 800-1200 grit sandpaper.
An easier way to remove the pilot bearing from the rear of the crankshaft is to just stuff white bread into the hole using the clutch alignment tool. The bread dough will force the old bearing out. Only takes a couple slices of white bread to do the job. Use only the white bread, no the crust.
That's a shocking waste of delicious carbs!
another great vid. . and a lovely van. . Al.
Thanks a million for the lovely comment, Al! With the weather being the way it is she's been under wraps in the corner of the shed for a few months. I think the spiders get the most enjoyment out of old VWs at this time of year!
My father bought me a second hand one of these in 1972 for £10. I was 15 and knew nothing about mechanics, nor did my father. Consequently it kept me very fit as it was a pig to start and I spent more time peddling like a lunatic to get it started, which on occasion it did. The rear wheel was on the ground even when the bike was on the stand, so I had to literally pedal or run with the bike. That flimsy stand design was absolutely diabolical. Oh happy days 😅😅😅 they came with a large rigid bag that sat on the back for shopping, so I assume it was aimed at the female market.
Fantastic memories, and thanks for the comment! 💪I have the funny rigid bag you described that goes with this Wisp. It's in good condition but looks like a black leatherette mini-skip so I left it off!
fab series thank for taking us with you. . Al.
Thanks for the lovely message, Al! It's still going strong! 💪
Is that a petronix ignition?
Oh yes indeed! Ignitor II.
