'72 Ghia Fuel Problem by
Michael Provost
Hello all. Hmm, Ghia was running great and just died. Symptoms were like
out of gas. Still not starting so I tested fuel pump. The pump was not
working so I replaced it and all the fuel lines/filter. I cranked it and
nothing. The VW spec for the pushrod was 13mm or 1/2". I measured 1/8"...

miles on it too soon so I want a daily driver. Background: My mother

that all four brakes are engaging and there is not a pull to either

'74 Super - shifting problems by
Nellis
I have a '74 Super that has been running well, but just recently started
having shifting problems.
When shifting from 1st to 2nd the car goes into 4th gear. I can go into 3rd
with no problem.
Occasionally I can move the shifter around and get it into 2nd, but not
consistently.
Any thoughts?

I would drive 30 mph and the engine would just stop. I looked at the idle
solenoid to make sure it wasn't loose - it wasn't- and I noticed that the
quick connector of the idle solenoid was touching the quick connector...

'74 Swing Axel Wheel Bearings by
Juper Wort
Just about to do wheel bearings on the beetle and need to clarify one point.
Haynes says that the large O ring goes over the bearing, when seated. Rob &
Dave suggest large O ring goes into cover plate. I would guess that the end
result is the same, but which if any, is likely to be more successful...
