@@mattikelby5571 hey Matti, I took a bit of a break from TH-cam, hoping to get some vids up soon, the farm vids stopped as there’s just not much fresh content to film, essentially what I do most days I already have videos of. If something interesting happens I’ll film it if I can though.
Great video I have the same problem as yours, but when i put a new oil it wont start, i need to drain all of it and it will start. Without the oil its kinda risky, do you have suggestions about it ? thanks
Whoa hey there stranger, long time no talk. Farm keeping me busy as usual, poor VWs sitting neglected, that new one was picked up 6 years ago and is also waiting for its moment, VWs have been on the back burner for a few years. Hope all is well with you
@@BoostedVW all is well sir Just staying busy with last kiddo at home and working My vw is still as it was Waiting on love So glad ur still around and hope crazy rain stays away Me and the wife are in the works of a down under visit so if we hit the West Coast I’ll buy ya a cool drink Best to ya
@@Itawolfib good to hear, that flood back in 2022 was very bad, 2.2meters/7 foot higher than anything on record, we were away from it and safe but it did a lot of damage. Hoping to give my white beetle some love in the coming months so I’ll try and get some new videos up.
@@BoostedVW drained & flushed. blew stuff out, wire brush here and there, inox spray, new spark plug, electrical contact cleaner in the plug hood, a new pull cord housing, fresh petrol ....and it started on the second draw. Stoked!
@@Rustsamurai1 nice work. Both the mower and wood chipper I got going with nothing more than fresh oil so it was quite depressing seeing how many mowers and other machinery were thrown on flood rubbish piles during the clean up.
@@BoostedVW Indeed. There was one bloke going around in an old ute; I helped lift a few into the tray. He was intending to fix and sell. It's a bit sad they were discarded in the first place. I rescued, fixed and returned a few from my street, post flood. Until then I'd done no small motor work, ever. I've three air compressors I've yet to have a crack at.
I have exactly the same Mower, left mine in the rain, great repair video mate
Good video mate ..
Gone quiet on the videos, love the nut farming ones

Wow… did it really start on the first pull or was that through the magic of editing? Nice job!
It actually did, surprised the heck out of me too, wasn’t expecting that.
Great video

It will destroy itself quick with no oil, you just need to get the oil level correct, they don’t take very much about 500ml
Hey mate!! How’s the nut farm doing and what’s new with the beetle!!
Haven’t talked in awhile!!

@@Itawolfib thanks, just need to find the time to work on it now.
I'm about to get a Honda running, after 1.5 years since the flood in Lismore.
Nice one.
I’ve also done a petrol wood chipper that sat full of flood water for 6 months I need to upload.
