I've got another situation with my '75 bus that is buggin' me. When I am intending to start it and I slide the key into the ignition and turn it, nothing happens until it sort of goes 'beyond' the 'start' position. In other words .. I turn it to 'on' ... then I have to turn it REALLY HARD...

When I moved into the house I'm in now, there were no auto parts stores within 5 miles of my house. About a year ago they opened up an Advance Auto Parts store about 3 blocks from my house. Literally within EASY walking distance. At almost the same time they opened up a Bojangles (Southern-style...

I've got a '75 bus with a '78 engine in it. It's had a recent tune-up and is a good, strong engine with great compression numbers. But from time to time it 'clacks' loudly upon start-up and initial running and doesn't 'mellow down' to a quieter purr. I recently left the country for 2 months and,...

This used to be dune buggy won't run warm... Until Speedy Jim alerted me to some major manifold leaks. I've fixed those and now the engine starts right away and idles nicely. I take it for a spin and it's great until the choke goes off completely. Then the acceleration is poor, power is...

Had the clutch tube welded and stalled on the drive home. Starter clicked. After an unsuccessful attempt at bump starting, the starter engaged and I drove home. Nothing after that but a click. Charged battery, changed starter, now no click, nothing. Tried a remote starter button (maybe wiring,...

Does anybody have an opinion on whether Amsoil synthetic or Mobile1 is better, and when to switch to synthetic from petroleum on a new engine? -- Randall Brink Author 1970 VW Type 1 1975 Mercedes-Benz W115 240D

Hi everyone, I have a 1964 camper bus. I'm told it's the kind that was brought over here as a cargo van and then made into a camper here. In any case, it's slowly but surely rusting away. I have rust around the area just above the front wheels, at the back where the battery sits, and in the front,...

Hi all A friend of mine offered to sandblast whatever I need where he works. My first trial will be the tins and shroud. What sort of primer and paint should I use on it? I'm not going absolutely crazy but would like a nice black finish on it all. What have you guys used? Thanks!

I just purchased a 66 vw bug, and after reading the thread on tire pressure, I was wondering what you recommend for tire replacement. In the tire pressure thread some of you have gone with a lower profile tire 165. Will these lower profile give you more comfort and a smoother ride? I'm open...

I replaced the convertible top (padding & headliner) on my Ghia. I've seen how people say that replacing headliners are difficult. I want to do it on my Bug (with factory sunroof). Is it more difficult than doing the Ghia CV top? -- Mel 77 Revived Bug & 70 Ghia...

After I installed a replacement 12v starter I found a small brass fitting in the box, and decided it must have come off the end of the drive pinion. Damn. I also noticed that the starter I removed did not have this part. So can someone advise me as to how important is this fitting? Should I...
