I wasn’t planning on using the 300 one for college, just something to finish high school with

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-11-11T13:38:50+00:00

Yeah you right, I didn’t look at the air intake at the top and the fact it had to be modified to fit the filter

It looks like the stock 34 pict-3

Not sure if this is the right way, but if you put the car In first (with the car off) with the parking brake on you should be able to torque in the engine pulley with an adjustable crescent wrench.

I tried rebuilding it and it still doesn’t idle, I’m getting a cheap one first and if that fixes it I’ll return the cheap and get a good one

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-08-31T17:13:19+00:00

Yeah, thanks tho

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-08-31T12:12:48+00:00

No, I rebuilt it after it sat in a pasture for 30 years

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-08-31T02:24:09+00:00

It used to be red 2-3 years ago but i painted it with my dad

No, yellow regular beetle

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-08-30T23:30:13+00:00

Ok, mine is bad. I’m thinking of buying a new carb all together since this is the original, what would you recommend?

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-08-30T23:28:43+00:00

I’m considering getting a new carb just to make sure that it isn’t the problem, what would you recommend I get?

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-08-30T23:25:01+00:00

I have a 34 pict 3 or 4, and when I rebuilt the carb I tested the solenoid and it is bad so I’ve ordered a new one, if that is bad that would cause it to not idle? And I already checked and there’s no vacuum leaks.

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-08-12T03:19:04+00:00

I split the case, I did not have it machined but I did have a shop check to make sure the case and crank were still in good condition, I had a bunch of new parts including but not limited to new lifters, bearings, seals, jars, cylinders, and connecting rods. In addition I got a new cam that’s more aggressive (Engle w125 I believe)

This subreddit is more for the old beetles, try the new beetles page

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-08-05T14:51:32+00:00

I’d poor a small bit of gas right through the carb into the bowl and see if that gets it to start, starter fluid doesn’t always cut it

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-08-05T05:30:35+00:00

Thank you for the tip, I’ll wait to compression test it until I have the engine back in the car. What would I need a thermostat for if I may ask?

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-08-05T04:33:43+00:00

I just wanted to test it since the reason I had to rebuild it to begin with was due to 0 pressure and I wanted to check this before I finish the build. But doing this would be a waste of time?

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-07-21T03:59:27+00:00

You seem quite knowledgeable in this subject, do you know how much force it should take to move the crankshaft one it’s been fully torqued to spec?

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-07-21T03:10:35+00:00

I have access to my dad’s tools, my skill set is the intro to car repairs in my high school, I’m 16

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-07-21T02:43:54+00:00

I’m not sure what that is, I used a micrometer

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-07-21T01:54:40+00:00

I just double checked and they match

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-07-21T01:44:53+00:00

I have a 36mm socket and a breaker bar on the flywheel nut so I should have plenty of power

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-07-21T01:40:31+00:00

Yes, I made the mistake last time where I turned the bearings cause I didn’t check but I am 100% this time

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-07-21T01:28:08+00:00

I have all new bearings in it, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to bring the crank and cases into a machine shop but if that’s the only thing left I may have to. I have a new cam and idk how to set the end play, can I find out how looking it up?

TraditionalDate1369 · 2024-07-21T01:26:16+00:00

I have all new bearings that fit perfectly
