"This wire is not fused" is what I say. It is used, it comes from the coil positive terminal and connects to the reverse light fuse holder, which runs to the reverse light switch.
I've seen from other VW RUclipsrs that the rear main seal may not be the problem for leaking oil on the flywheel, but I can be because there is a groove on the flywheel which allows oil to pass by, no matter how new the seal is. So they have recommended something call a Speedi Sleeve which goes over the input of flywheel to eliminate the groove gap. Do you have any knowledge of this, or can back up these claims at all? Because my rear main seal is leaking and I want to know what I should do.
Years ago (like 15 or 20) there was a batch of bad flywheel seals that came through the market from Elring. I haven't seen or heard anything about them since and have only ever used standard flywheels seals. I can't offer anything in the way of advice for the sleeve as I've never heard of it.
I've heard of the speedy sleeve. It's in an old VW book I have for mods and engine stuff. I have a few, so I'd have pour through what i have. I've had so many VW engines and I especially like to take apart the failed ones or nasty non-running specimens to see what was going on in there. I did come across one that had a severely worn flywheel that had a groove worn into the sealing surface. I have never come across one with a speedy sleeve installed.

Just put one of those carbs on my bug this past Friday, seems to be running just fine. A really nice carb for a decent price
Awesome work 👏
Lookin good!

At 15:50- what wire doesn’t get used? And what was its use from the factory? Is this due to the electronic ignition? Thanks!

@@Sam_Mebane this makes so, so much more sense! Thanks Sam
Is that a stock 1200 engine?
It is stock, but it is a 1500cc engine. US models got a 1300 in 1966, a 1500cc in 1967 and the 1600 came in 1970.

Live with it, a tiny drop of oil leak is not an issue to lose sleep over😂
