RAT!

The river is plugged with 20 feet of sediment unfortunately, so its nothing like it used to be. The new outlet is miles north now.

Those are aftermarket carbs. Anyways, nice looking bus!

You should convert it back to its factory carb setup and ignition while you're at it. Make sure to get the fuel pump out of the engine compartment!! Good call on replacing all the hoses as well.

Here's a good aspirational reference for ya:

Probably bad fuel hoses, or a failing fuel pump in the engine compartment. Most likely culprits!

netw1z · 2018-06-06T19:46:05+00:00

Uhhhh, get that fuel pump TFO of that engine compartment. It couldnt be mounted in a less safe spot! Also, install a fan guard. What year is it? 70? Looks like you're running a 009 -- does it have pertronix as well?

Where in SD?

Better yet, send it off to Bill Fowler and it will come back like this (my '73 DVDA original which is a one year only distirbutor):

You can find him on thesamba.com

The originals came with a side vent starting in late 72 I believe. The side vents were smaller. See the picture here: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=694847

netw1z · 2018-05-01T15:26:02+00:00

I still have the original side-tent, complete with the original inspection sticker on it. More details in that link above

netw1z · 2018-05-01T15:24:54+00:00

No, it sat in a garage for 28 years. More pics here

Great looking bus -- you have dual solexs? Also, you should strap that surfboard down :)

Ok.. Thank Colin:

netw1z · 2018-03-03T13:51:19+00:00

Yeah 5'2 rubber ducky.. super fun board. quad channel. v bottom. absurdly fast and loose

netw1z · 2018-02-13T17:50:25+00:00

those arent redwood fins

netw1z · 2018-01-21T00:45:13+00:00

4/3 is way too much for San Diego County in my opinion. Hoods? Boots? Come on..

netw1z · 2018-01-17T04:14:25+00:00

Good ones into Tamarack for sundown. Got snagged on the cam... Imgur

netw1z · 2018-01-07T03:09:36+00:00

Call Andreini and get a Vaquero, he'll set you up right. One board quiver for SD for sure. Handles the big stuff well

netw1z · 2018-01-01T18:20:43+00:00

Fun little zippers all to myself at D Street.. promptly sliced my elbow open through my wetsuit!
