    I am from Brazil, here we call it Vw Beetle, for years it was the best selling car. I have a variation of it called Vw Brasilia 1980 same mechanical simplicity I am reforming, although they are different in some aspects I learn many tips with you thank you. I like your workshop has a very good space to work with.

    Love VWs, worked on them my whole life. Actually you don't have to have a bell housing, they sell a piece that uses the starter holes and the one right below it to start one, its made out of something like Plastic. I bought a bunch of parts and it was in a box, otherwise I wouldn't have know about them. lol.

    Once again, totally awesome thank you...I was wondering how the whole starter interchange thing works. I was also wondering if it's possible to hand crank a VW engine on the bench? Are there hand crank attachments that you can put on an engine? I have an old engine which I'd like to test on the bench but I don't have a starter. I wonder about using a ratched and attaching it to the flywheel or something heheh....might be a little dangerous.

    It's good practice to fit an oil pressure gauge from test set in place of oil pressure switch for test runs. Can crank engine until pressure shows before starting. Gives you a nice fuzzy warm feeling inside!

  • @jamesross3480
    @jamesross3480 6 лет назад +6

    Hey good video, but that's a lot of work just to bench start and run your engine. You can avoid the whole bell housing thing by just taking a big 1/2" or 3/4" electric drill with socket to fit the crankshaft end pulley nut. Plug her on and pull the trigger. No need for a starter. I do it his way all the time. Great work on the video. Clear and concise.

    • @dariusz879
      @dariusz879 6 лет назад

    Question: Can you time the distributor using the method you described in your other video, while your engine is set up outside the car like this? Also, the spark is running directly from the battery here? Gen not hooked up to charge the battery, right?

    Chris, love your videos! Question...what's the best way to turn off the motor once the initial 30-minute run is finished? Also, good info on the 2 types of starter bushings. Is there a bushing of you're putting a 12-volt starter on a 12-volt housing? Thanks.

    • @classicvwbugs
      @classicvwbugs  10 лет назад +1

      Yes bushings for all types, 12v to 12v, 12v to 6v, or even 6v to 12v bushings need to be used depending on your setup. A 30 min run should be in the car, motor should be pushed under load for that run. But if you are on the bench, you just disconnect the coil wire.

      Well all depends what kind of muffler you have, the baffles inside, etc. Or it could be your fan belt making noise, or the fan in the back can be rubbing. These are areas that need fixing. But for the most part, beetles always have that so called "tweety" bird sound when they run.
