- I take a look at the engine in this lovely 1970s Volkswagen Type 2 Camper to see if I can get it to run right. It won't idle properly, is sluggish to pick up, is down on power and is generally very unhappy. Let's see if I can change that?

Cool video Ross, going through the possible issues is great - covering all sorts so it's a great one for anyone with engine running issues! Look forward to parts 2,3,4 &... 5 😂 lol just messing, look forward to the next. And honestly, good luck with the move. Man, if you get your own workshop at your house your life would be transformed - it'd be so good with what your into. Fingers crossed for you mate 🤞✌
Those issues can be pretty hard to lock down. Looking forward to seeing you work your way through to a solution.
Great to see you getting back to tinkering. Moving nearer to Kildare by any chance😉
I am actually as a matter of fact! 😁
@@Endfloat good stuff I’m still only a blow in myself, only been here 24yrs now
It's a battle but a fun one.. Good luck with the house hunting. You'll have to check out the local motor factors too to see if they live up to DT motors.
Thanks. Yeah DT are great. I'm looking forward to having a proper work space as well.
Patients of a saint!
Get a remote starter switch and attach to starter. Run a wire from + gen/alt post to pos side of coil. Turn on lights. Removes need to go up to front of bus. Saves a metric $hit ton of time.
Hi Ross, Have you ruled out stale fuel? Is the bus has sat for some time the petrol can degrade and give the rough running symptoms you have.
I would also replace the condenser while you have the points out, just to rule that out as well.
Good luck with the house move! 🤞
It wasn't that long since it was last used. Plus, looking at what was in the float bowl, I've no reason to believe the fuel is bad. I'll be replacing the condenser for sure. Thanks!
Hi Ross is there a second part to thi video as i am having the same sort of problem great channel by the way.
There is yes. th-cam.com/video/ZWPpgifGbok/w-d-xo.html Thanks!
Coil? Seemed to get worse the longer you had it on. Then was a touch better after carb clean so maybe coil cooled a bit? Those plugs are odd too never seen that in an air-cooled vw but I've never seen a mex engine.
Yeah I've been thinking that myself. I might try a spare and see if it cures the issue. Thanks!
My MG wouldn't idle and I found the points gap was way too small, It would be worth checking fella, cheers..
I'm going to be replacing the points as part of the process of sorting out the ignition system in general, so when I do that, I'll be gapping them correctly. Thanks!
@@Endfloat Cool, Yeah it ran ok but died when I took my foot off the gas, she idles perfect now after gapping them correctly, cheers and good luck with the move..
Caravel replace trimming belt
