      @@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.

    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
    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

      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

      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

      Hoping to give my white beetle some love in the coming months so I’ll try and get some new videos up.

      @@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.
