Another great video! New stickers are super cool!
Thank you! You did a great job on those stickers. Thank you so much.
@@SladesVWBeetle Your very welcome
Always a much needed video from Slade !!! I’m constantly referencing videos while in the garage…thanks for the help !!!
And thank you my friend for always being part of it.
Thanks for your very hard work in putting the website together. I appreciate it and I know everyone else will as well.
The fact that it saves a great deal of individual research time is one of the things I like most as I have very limited maintenance knowledge as I’m trying to restore my 71. Convertable
Thank you for posting. I really appreciate that. It should be done this upcoming weekend. It was a little more work than I thought that it will be so worth it for folks to be able to pick up their phone and go straight to the website and target what they need. Thank you for being here.
Great tip and very timely. Thanks and keep all those videos coming in. 👍👍
Thank you so much, my friend, and I hope that you’re having a really nice weekend and things have been going well for you.
Another great video for my how-to library! In fact, I'm at the stage where I need to do this so it's perfect! Thanks Slade!
Thank you so much my friend. I hope you have been doing very well.
Thank you for another great video your information is greatly appreciated on these cars
Thank you Sarah I hope you’re having a great weekend.
Great video. Using a bicycle tire pump would work also.
Yes, absolutely! Great idea my friend. I didn’t think of that one. Very cheap to pick one of those up also.
Great idea
Thank you very much!
Great information and video on testing fuel line. Food for thought. Another way you could test fuel line is placing a rubber cap on one end to ensure positive seal, and then use a hand vacuum pump/brake bleeder… If you lose vacuum than line has a hole in it somewhere.
Excellent!!! Thank you for adding to this test with your idea that is outstanding! I always like hearing other ideas. Thank you for taking the time.
Thank you! Another great video!
Thank you so much I truly appreciate that.
A trick I use when using locking pliers to pinch rubber lines, I put pieces of fuel line or heat shrink on the tips of the jaws to prevent damaging the fuel line!
Outstanding, my friend! Thank you for the extra tip. I always appreciate stuff like that. And that honestly is a very good idea.
Just a thought but with running two carbs I would say definitely a new line with the new tank so you know old nasty stuff is nowhere in the system. Also on mine I ran a new fuel line right with the rear brake line and has done great
Thank you, my friend for chiming in! Although mine holds pressure I am still considering running a new line. Even though I even cleaned it out. Just yesterday I was going over the chassis and noticed my fuel line seems a little bit on the thin side.
Hello sir! 👋🏻 New subscriber here. Thank you for your hard work in making these videos. They are very educational. We all know you are THE MAN when someone has their personal First Aid box. Will be buying a shirt soon when I get back on my feet. Garage looks awesome! P.S. sorry to hear about your father. Keep up the great work sir! ✌🏻& ❤
@@goyo69 and thank you very much for actually taking out the time to leave such a wonderful comment. I really appreciate that. I always hope these videos help everybody out and keep them going. And thank you for the support only buy one when it’s affordable I know what it’s like right now it’s not very easy. Thank you for being here and thank you for the kind words.
@SladesVWBeetle your welcome sir.
Yea I needed this
I hope it was helpful!
Nice video! Loved the Shawshank Redemption photo! :)) BTW, the package for your pressure gauge says "Made in China" and tested in the USA. So it goes.....
Thank you, my friend! Oddly enough, it made me go back in the garage and look at the package lol the first thing I saw was Cleveland Ohio. 😂 I think we’ve been getting things made in China much longer than we realize.
That was a quick 16 min.. watching your videos sure makes me miss my old bugs.. i had a 68 and a 71... They were a lot of fun.. Well Slade, you have a good one my friend and God Bless...
Do you have a video showing how you did the wood in your garage... It looks awesome...Thx again for bringing us along...
Thank you so much, my friend, I appreciate the kind comment. I always hope these videos help folks out. Sometimes they can even relate to another type of vehicle.
I did do a video quite a while back on the free pallet wood for the garage wall or any wall. I have to work on it starting tomorrow so I may put a short video up on Tuesday on how to do that!!
@@SladesVWBeetle I'll definitely watch that.. So much stuff can be done with pallet wood.. thx again...
@@garyjones2582 you’re very welcome, I’m actually actually going to start filming it today. I have to start getting it done. That will be up Tuesday.
@@SladesVWBeetle See you Tuesday....
Thank you for all you do.
And, thank you also, my friend! I truly appreciate you.
Great idea on the listing of your videos. That will be better I think
Thank you so much! That should be done by the following weekend. And then I’ll make an announcement so people can see how to use it. I think it will make it much quicker and easier.
Thanks nice video
And thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
With a ball inflator needle and clamps, one could do this with a bike tire pump, since the volume and pressure requirements are so low. Not ideal, but you do what ya gotta, right?
Absolutely, my friend! And another good idea. I like hearing all the different ways that this can be tested. It truly helps.
In all the stickers in your garage, i wonder if there is an STP one amongst them.
Oddly enough, I just ordered an STP little metal sign for the wall. And a hurst shifter one. For some reason the STP sticker always made me smile probably reminds me of being young.
nice job. first.
Thank you Jim I hope you’re doing well my friend.
My fuel line dropped down in the tunnel and didn't want to hack mine up either so I ran it under the tunnel to bin fine .
Oh man that really stinks my friend. But then again, these cars are older like I am lol running one underneath is how they ran them on American cars forever so I don’t know why some folks get upset. You’re on the road and that’s what matters.
@SladesVWBeetle That's the same thing I was thinking to.👍
What is the tunnel? And what does it do? I’m not a mechanic, but would like to research VW Beetle.
I have an early 68 that needs a new fuel line. What is the easiest and safe way to run a new fuel line?
@@mitchleonard honestly, of course, people are going to tell you the proper way is to put it inside the tunnel.
The last one I ran, I ran along and under the heater channel and hooked the line onto the belly pan bolts that hold the body down.
American cars, especially when I was in mechanic through the 80s and 90s had all of their fuel lines run along with frame rail. I may run a new one regardless on the 68 I currently have if I do in the next few weeks I might as well film it.
Something off subject of this video and I'm hoping you or someone else in the comments can help. I have a 63 beetle with a 73 or 74 motor. The car is new to me and didn't run when I bought it. I got it running, but it's only running on cylinders 1 and 4. I've swapped spark plugs to see if they were an issue. No luck. Swapped wires. No luck. I replaced the cap and rotor. No luck. I checked the valves and none are stuck. What else could be causing this?
Just lost all my fuel in my 58 bug
The hoses under the tank andd car the hoses cracked and who knows what else down there
Oh geez, take your time and go over every single thing from the front all the way to the back. At least it’s easy to see everything for except the one inside the tunnel. That’s why I did this video. I’m going to be doing a video soon on how to run a new fuel line safely underneath the car.
@@SladesVWBeetle well for now I have a cocoon 🥺 just got over kidney stones and wasn’t ready for this! Just wanted some wind in my hair therapy
@@iddybiddyladybugleeza262 Oh geez I just went through kidney stones a few months ago. I hope you heal quickly my friend that is a complete nightmare. I don’t mind pain but that pain was a little annoying.
@@SladesVWBeetle it’s been a horrible experience! I’ve been in & out of 3 ER’s had a stent put in then had surgery to replace the stent & lazer the 8 mm kidney stone then went in to have that removed with nothing to kill any pain just up in & out! I’d seriously rather have another kid than to go through that again!
@@iddybiddyladybugleeza262 oddly enough, I didn’t want to bring this up. Because I have the most respect for women.
But I had a female doctor in the emergency room. She told me it was the same as child labor, which I still could not have nothing to compare it to. Since I’m a guy.
It went on for three days and I refuse to take any type of painkillers.
Those things scare me.
I can’t believe what you’re going through.
I am so sorry and I deeply mean that. I’ve been through it twice now not far enough apart that’s for sure my friend. I have to start getting back on live chats on Sunday nights at 9 PM. I may start doing that next week. That’s a lot of fun. Everybody gets together on there and it’s a blast.
Thanks uncls great content as always 💯🫡👑
