Carby Overhaul by
John[_28_]
I,m just overhauling my spare 32-34 PDSIT,s. I dont want to reassemble with
all dry bearing surfaces but thought mineral oil would probably evaporate in

mineral oil, silicon oil ?, dust with molybdenum ?.

stripped oil strainer stud by
[email protected]
On my 36 hp, stripped a stud on my oil strainer only to find out it
was a 8mm x 6mm step stud. Looking at the 8mm timesaver insert, just
doesn't seem to leave enough material between the edge of the insert
and the lip of the oil strainer lip. I'd rather NOT use the timesaver
fearing that it could...

My 72 SB lives again! Now the gen light is acting up. by
barnhart_pinball[_2_]
Thanks to Chris (Halatos) for the great guide on adjusting valves. I always
forget how sensative these little buggers are...one valve was really loose,
some were loose by a bit and a couple were too tight. Makes for a crappy
running little car for sure. Runs strong now!
Now since I reinstalled...

Generator Red Light -- all ready? by
[email protected]
I have a 68' bug with a 1500 engine in it. Several years ago I
started experiencing some electrical problems and I went on a rampage

garage for two years. I have...

My Blue 73 SB is alive again. by
David Gravereaux
Having a 2 year old and the wife works too has pushed my car hobbies
down pretty far on the priority list. Hobby or not, I drive the blue
one to work. Yeah, I can borrow the wife car, and trade around to make
a car share manageable, but my blue SB has been dead since March.

Cross Shaft Dementia_Help please! by
[email protected]
Hallo!
I have a 1973 Beetle sedan non-Super.
I ordered a cross shaft kit for it.
I bought the BugPack 20 mm cross shaft kit, for a 1973 transaxle.
I had to re-use the old cross shaft, since I had bought the wrong size
cross shaft.
The transaxle had a number on it. It started with 113 …. , so I
