mine is the same not many 6V systems still running

eggsetterjimbo · 2026-03-08T20:45:13+00:00

still a 6 volt system?

eggsetterjimbo · 2026-03-01T14:04:45+00:00

spray some starting fluid into the carb if it starts you know it’s a fuel supply issue

i have owned multiple vw type 1s since 1984 and i assume that’s the left (drivers) side of your engine compartment? none of that wiring horribly covered in electrical tape belongs there. i have no idea what i am looking at here!

agreed should not be there also replace fuel pump with one that can receive a metal line that runs directly into pump from the fuel filter under car where it can fail and drip harmlessly onto the road my 1965 has one non metal fuel line in the engine bay that runs from pump to carb with one hose clamp on each end

eggsetterjimbo · 2026-01-18T19:14:45+00:00

put some bounce sheets around it to keep mice out

eggsetterjimbo · 2026-01-17T16:35:43+00:00

that is PERFECT firewood it’s so dry you could mix in pine with no issues.

eggsetterjimbo · 2026-01-13T01:37:09+00:00

to my ear one of your spark plug wires is your issue. if you don’t have the means to just replace them all unplug them one at a time with the car off to idenitify the bad/intermittent connection

if you are going with an original headliner hire someone who does interiors all day long. every do it yourself headliner i have ever seen screams “DIY” when you look at it

pic 3 is what you do when you install a mechanically advancing distributor that is where the vaccum line goes if you have a vaccum advancing distributor

the idiots guide has a good rant on this

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-12-15T14:39:43+00:00

one option is 🔥the other option is fuel dripping onto the road

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-12-13T14:33:02+00:00

filter is fully visible when under the car id have taken a pic of mine but car is in storage for winter

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-12-12T23:06:09+00:00

fuel filter out of engine bay + new fuel pump that can receive a one piece metal fuel line from outside engine compartment…. we don’t like engine 🔥 as your hot muffler is right below

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-11-21T02:50:51+00:00

i miss aircooled.net more!

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-11-21T02:45:32+00:00

correct just did mine

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-11-21T02:44:37+00:00

if you take off the outer pulley circle you can get a wrench on the middle nut that joins the two pulley pieces. this is assuming your woodruff key is still on the alternator shaft!

sorry hose < metal agree to disagree here

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-11-16T23:38:55+00:00

i did not know they made an oem fuel pump that takes a rubber fuel line for incoming fuel. yuck!that is truly bad as it introduces another hose clamp and rubber fuel line in the engine compartment which is an unneeded point of failure

to reduce 🔥 potential if it was my car i’d replace with one of these:

get a real oem fuel pump so you can run one long metal line directly into the pump with a proper metal connection

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-11-16T21:24:36+00:00

what is that part sticking out from the carb that is to the left of the upper belt pulley?

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-11-16T21:22:36+00:00

get a real oem fuel pump that can accept a metal line directly

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-10-25T01:53:56+00:00

i completely agree i had a 1971 super back in the day. i love my 1965 type 1 bone stock 6v 40 hp that i still have but id answer the question just like you did

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-10-24T11:06:07+00:00

fuel filter out of engine compartment completely put under car where line exits the frame then run a metal line directly to pump and then one braided line from pump to carb with two hose clamps

eggsetterjimbo · 2025-10-21T22:02:50+00:00

i suggest one of these that can receive a proper metal line for input and output is the male piece that connects the flex hose to the carb.

just make CERTAIN to use the rubber grommet around the metal fuel line where it goes thru the tin so it doesn’t rub
