Comments on 'VW 1600 Aircooled Engine DIY Rebuild (Slideshow)'

1. nice vid will be clear if you explain it step by step in
   order to learn how did you do thanks
2. Vw N.1!
3. like an upside down 4 cylinder lycoming or continental
   engine. pretty cool.
4. thanks alot, but i just bought the engine alone, its a
   1200cc from 1964 and the drive pulley has no nut on
   it...(they were made like that..) i have a blog with a few
   pics.. vw-plane.blogspot. com
5. prolly need to lock the fly wheel with a crowbar to stop it
   from turning over, or have it on the ground, hand break on,
   and put it in gear. undo the nut then try and tap it off
   (genitally, a rubber hammer helps ALOT here) if that fails,
   a gear puller might help u
6. Gear puller?
7. any idea on how to remove the drive pulley? i have no idea
   what tools i need to take it off...any help? chris
8. its a good song.. i like it lol
9. Hi, it's called 'On a Journey' by DJ Lee Harrison and
   Neotenic - dates to about 1999.
10. i like the song.. what song is it?
11. did you put new heads? or did you paint them
12. Take the bolt out disconect the wires put the new one in.
13. Check your points. they are inside the distributor.
14. Any suggestions on starting a 1300 that wont start,, it did
    for 10 seconds then it just wont start! No fire coming out
    of the coil, brand new coil or the old one!
15. SWEET!!! Great job. Love the new color :)
16. At the base of the fan cowl there are a pair of
    therostatically controlled flaps which direct the cooling
    air as required.
17. how do you get heat in a bug? if it's cold how would it stay
    warm?
18. how do i replace the distributor on a 73' super?
19. a m.f. niiiicceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee nice nice good job!!!!!!!
20. sembrano 2 motori di 500 fusi assieme
21. I don't get it, why would the fittling come off of the carb.
    Arent you supposed to put the filter befor the fuel pump,
    then from the fuel pump to the carb? Why would that cause
    the fitting rom the carb to come loose?
22. soundtrack should be Kraftwerk Autobahn
23. acutally Captharvey they were never put there by the factory
    cos bugs and busses never even had filters just a mesh gauze
    in the tank. until 73, even then they put them under the
    fuel tanks away from heat the extra weight of the filter
    pulls the brass fitting out of the carb and sprays fuel
    everywhere and they can shatter under pressure when old and
    brittle... thats how fires start
24. Yeah, the fuel filter placement is fine I have always had my
    filter in the engine compartment, Fires are caused by other
    reasons, no hoseclamps and the top fitting coming off the
    carb, where the fuel line comes off. The german engineers
    put the fuel filter there, so it works for me.
25. Good job!
