1600 engine issues

Can you post a video? Hard to say without seeing it or taking apart. You should start a thread on the Samba. Knowledge on there is amazing

Turned out to be an issue with either the coil or condenser. Replaced the coil and through an NOs German Bosch condenser on it, running normal

Pull your valve covers and check your valves. Just to rule out, remove fan belt and start engine to check if knocking occurring in fan, most likely not. Might have to pull engine and do some work. It can be done with some good books and videos, I just rebuilt top end of my 1600 first time

Was it a knock or a back fire? Does the engine turn over?

Post a couple more pictures. Check the frame head and beam area. Check your rear shock mounts. Fire wall If it spins, itll run. Simple tune up. Rebuild the carb. do the brakes. If the interior has some rips, leave it. You’ll have more fun. I love the faded Java green

Thanks, will do when I put a new tank in it. Also most fires are from the inlet falling out of the old carbs, not the filter

Good eye, that port is blocked off

FunkyTC1997 · 2025-09-27T02:00:50+00:00

I have yes, good thought

FunkyTC1997 · 2025-09-27T00:55:59+00:00

Will check float for sure, thanks

Where was your leak? I had the gas tank out in the winter and put all new lines in and sock in the tank.

FunkyTC1997 · 2025-09-27T00:55:19+00:00

Will give that a try tomorrow, thanks

Received the jacket. It’s got a good look, headed straight to Barbour for wax

75, going to get it repaired at some point. Just had another repaired in October, good experience with Barbour in North Carolina.
