First drive next ? Nope ! The transmission will not go into gear ! The education continues :))) .
The clutch plate is stuck on with rust. Brutal moves or if you can change gear without a clutch, just drive around for a while. Heat often releases it. Good luck.
Yeah, success, congrats!!! Maaan, this engine runs and sounds really healthy/great (as it should be because of low mileage). As you might know already: Maybe the clutch breaks loose if you put it in gear and push the car back and forth a little while (without having the engine running of course). The brutal way sometimes also helps: Push-start the car in second gear and drive a bit around. Even more brutal: Start the engine while in first gear.
Now, how's the engine of the red Karmann Ghia sounding after adjusting the valves??? Why did you hide that from us? :-) ;-)
Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
thank you , she came free and I yard drove it👍
Dear@@5150mxVW
Great! Congrats! With a good runnin' engine and functional gearbox = driveable, it should be sold in no time.
Sincerely yours.
Postscriptum: I wonder how she came free? Will you please be so kind and tell us viewers this?
thanks CC , I started it in gear and she came free ....shifts great
Nice job man! That is a sweet Ghia! Those heads look clean! =)
thank you CT , still waiting on the 67 Ghia intro !
@@5150mxVW Soon. I have parts on order. It should be a driver. I can't wait!
is it a driver yet😆
Fun video and nice Ghia !
thank you MJ
Years later. I still love watching this video. Thanks again.
thank you :)
Jason, this brings back memories of watching my father back in the 60's working on his '66 Beetle. Changing the oil and cleaning the carb because it would get dirty since there was no gas filter. And when he would be swearing because of replacing the rusty muffler that was hard to take off. The good old days!
:))) , always love your stories Dave
Sweet!!! You got her going!!!
:))) , thank you
Nice job brother! Sounds great
Thank you E-man ! " Let's Go "
@@5150mxVW I'm on it. Just so many other everyday things are failing around me. Can't get to the stuff I want to do.
Engine Earth strap to battery always a favourite fault. Clue can be which dash lights dim and which don’t. Anything that relies on a good engine earth such as the oil pressure switch will dim or even go out when other lights stay lit up as you crank it over. Obviously the oil light will go out eventually if you build enough oil pressure. To prove the point you can earth the engine to the battery earth using a jumper cable. On a modern car though with a computer you don’t see the same thing, because all lights go back to the ECU !.
👍, thank you Ian
Good job!
Thank you BB !
Good stuff brother!! Love the 68!
thank you JW , much appreciated
The following was a 5150mxVW running Ghia Adventure you never know what's going to happen!!, but something going to run!!!, Thank's!!!; )
haha , thank you Richard !
Made for a great video bro. All the best...It lives.
thank you Ken , all the best to you as well
She sounds good.
Thank you , I thought it sounded pretty good too
Nice karman guía y like this car good job change the fuel filter good video . 😎👍
thank you Marcos👍
She sounds great brother.
thank you George
Great video jason you got there in the end👍😊
thank you Toolman , me too :)
U should no by now , they take while to come back to life , looks great now new owner will be even more happy :)
haha , some longer than others , thank you William
It's not just a case of "Will it run?" ... it's more like "When will it run?" You and Mustie1 are good examples for the rest of us .... take your time and get it right!
Thank you Frank , much appreciated , M1 is the Man
Nice work!!! Way to follow it through it 👍👍👍
thank you Steve👍
Great to see another one still lives. I can’t wait to get my next VW. I love these ole gals.
👍, I hope you get one soon
Thank you brother. My dreams of owning another VW have been put on the back burner for a bit. My wife and I are expecting our first child right around the time I would’ve had the money to get a bug. I don’t mind putting VW ownership on hold for a bit.
@@oldmancrow6676 Congratulations ! Being a Dad is the best thing ever ! Best wishes to you and your family :)
Thank you sir.
Well done! Great video.
thank you David , much appreciated
What a great project!
I agree , thank you Davo
I used to have a 72 Ghia convertible. It was driveable when I had it but needed a lot of work.
Strangers used to come up to me in the street to talk about it or ask to buy it at the traffic lights :)
Sadly I wasn't in a position to keep it at the time. I wish I still had it now with all my new TH-cam skills :)
Fantastic Job! Man, she fired right off like a daily driver! Awesome!
thank you Danny , that was crazy how it fired almost instantly , that has never happened lol!
It's always great when you get a motor running that hasn't for a long time, that first start is always heartwarming. Good to see Mustie1 stop by, and I agree with him..do it now! lol, had my best friend question that when I worked on his classic pulled off the road while driving in a cornfield earlier this yr., when I wasn't going to let it go another mile like it was,, the parts were in the back seat, we had enough tools..Do it now! lol (p.s. it ran like a top after that, he drove it 3 states away on a trip 4 days later, made it there and back w/no problems at all)
Nice👍
She's A runner! Sounds great!
thank you Bud
yup the slip on connector number 30 at the fuse panel. finally started connecting. IT does that after it gets hot. be sure to clean it
on it tonight , thank you Mike
Cool you got it running. Miss seeing your little helper, he going to be mad you got it running without him.👍
thank you , well that is why it took so long :)
Great job, love your work and videos . Give us more please thanks again!!
Thank you Elroy , I'm headed out to see what the tranny issue now
Awesome!
thank you Dubwerks
Amazing bit of wrenching done by you Jason. Great job. BIG THUMBS UP
thank you Brian , very much appreciated , see u soon👍
VW's Italian stallion of small German proportions ... Volkswagen PLEASE bring back a Karmann Ghia RETRO version !!!
noooo , leave it a classic ....I search charger stuff and all the new stuff pops ...
Sometimes you have to give them a pep talk. I do this when I'm trying to calm down. I'm so frustrated with my car right now that I can't look at it. Best wishes. I understand. That is really a great looking Ghia. She needs a lot of love
haha , she's getting there , thank you Ivor ...I drove it in the yard today :)
"They all run!!" A big 👍they all indeed do. Those engines are a wonderful engineering design.
thank 63 ', they sure are
Amazing how quick it started when you gave it a good reason to start!
:)))) , well said
That's a nice Ghia, Sir. Took a bit of kicking your ass before she settled in, lol.
thank you John , she is not done kicking my ass yet either :)
Hey 5150mxVW! I'm living vicariously through this Ghia project, it's perfect! It seems to be showing its sense of humor with those intermittent electrical issues. I won't give it away in this comment, but your reaction at the end is priceless!
haha , yeah , I was pretty pumped :))) , thank you HG , I heard you've been very busy when I asked the FL Crew about u .
@@5150mxVW Yup, finished school and now I'm in the shop welding patch panels on Dweezil. Things are good, thanks for checking on me!
WOOHOO!
👍, thank you Greg
You rock we sould call you Mr. Electronnnnnnnn VW wiring seem to always beat me like a drum, i had a 73 once my wife named it baxter, i had a completely different B name for it always had crazy electrical issues ..Victories time for a happy dance Mustie1 should be proud of you for sure..look out Mustie1 there is a new will it start guy in town.
isn't electrical fun ? I call Mustie1 the John Wick of electrical
👍, The ghia is halfway ready for the Brookline vw show.
see you there
@@5150mxVW
I'll see you there, if the weather is nice. Bring a trailer, you might find the rust free body for the 56 pan.😀
😂
i didn't see you
Man i love that ghia. It looks like a fun project.
Thank you Lennert , it been ....fun ? haha :)
Best sound ever....
👍
With that much Marvel Mystery oil in that engine, you're going to be throwing a James Bond smoke trail for a few hours! Good job getting it started up.
haha , thank you , she's a smoker
@@5150mxVW shes gonna get lung cancer ha ha LB
They. All. Run! I remember Mustie getting an engine with a broken cam running!
haha :) , M1 is the man👍
Cam was not broken. If it was broken then both of the rear cylinders would have no valves. Earlier vw's have radius lifters that jam.
Cams? Mustie don't need no stinking cams!
Do it right the first time! Nice troubleshooting skills there, you got her going and that’s what matters.
thank you Jaws , now the Bus has no dash lights LOL...:)
5150mxVW DOH 🤦♂️
Dash lights are overrated, right? As long as you have headlights and tail lights.... 😂
Sounds good!
Thank you David
Great vid Jason had a lot of fun watching it enjoyed immensely !
Thank you Ted , much appreciated
Man sometimes you just get a top ten video! Cool! ✌🏻
Thank you SWV !
5150mxVW any time man. You knocked that one out of the park.
That fast start up was something. Well done going over the basics.
Musti1 had a time with his 70 convertible.
I would clean the ground cable where the battery cable and the frame meet.
Those replacement battery terminals work great until you have to clean them again. They get no love from me.
I was shocked it fired almost immediately , thank you Mark . M1 was scaring me trying to unstick that clutch lol . I agree , those style cable sare not good
Awesome dude!! 🤘🤘
thank you Kawi
Love the channel! Great work!
Thank you ! Very much appreciated !
Jason, Big Congratulations getting some of the gremlins out of her!
thank you very much , she is still continuing to educate me as the red light is on now and it won't go into gear :)
sounds great, but not sure if that was my good side,
👍, not sure what side is better than the other but I know it runs like a top now ....the red one that is :)
@@5150mxVW .0006 I didnt know they made one that thin.
Stubborn 68! Ignition switch? Mechanics in town here in Pierre SD don’t know that my 67 doesn’t have a normal oil filter. And don’t know you have to take off the screen and clean it like you did. Thought they did until he asked why I took off the oil filter. So from then on I took it to a VW dealership mechanic who is retired and does work out of his garage. I only drive it about 100 miles a year plus the 120 mile round trip to my mechanic, so most of the sludge was from it sitting in the garage. Love your channel and videos. Almost time to put 007 up for the winter! First freeze and it’s inside for the winter.
You better put some miles on that nugget before the snow flies Roger :)
I like driving the Mercedes quite a bit better. 007 is mostly a Saturday and Sunday driver. It’s always been that way. Everyone who sees me drive always has a big smile on their faces. There is only one other older bug around here. Haven’t seen it for years, and it was a black 67 with a sunroof. I wanted to buy it from the first day I saw it but he wouldn’t sell. His wife got really sick and passed away. He must have moved to be close to his kids. It is nowhere to be found. But you’re right, I should put some miles on it before winter! Love your channel and videos! Will be watching!
🙂👍 They all run with a little patience and perseverance.
:) , well said , thank you Will
They always run, never fail to...
I picked a '61 bug up once that hadn't run for years, even it started, it had half an exhaust valve embedded in a piston, it ran but not very well, but out did start.
👍
My wife always says to me in these circumstances my enthusiasm exceeds my ability ! )
haha , sometimes ya gotta go for it
Woot woot! Sheeza runnuh! 😁
haha , thank you KS👍
They all run!!! With a little work🧙♂️
thank you Steve !👍
A little smoky out of that passenger's side bank. Wonder if it'll clean up, Bet she was way over full with the mystery oil running out of the valve cover like it was.
Hi Shane , indeed pretty smokey , we shall see with a little more run time .
Awesome to hear it run, That Yellow T1 looks well wicked :)
thank you , i was pretty pumped BMX'r , that 67 was really SWEET
I was so happy for you when it turned over, I was yelling, "YES!" right along with you! Good work, Jason.
thank you AP ! I got to yard drive it today
It seems to me that your power problems were mainly down to the ignition switch, at least mostly, based on how your dash lights were inconsistent as you turned it off and back on. May still act up, though.. not sure if you can get contact cleaner into it or clean the contacts directly.. i've never worked on one of these.
Considering how long it had been siting for, it's perfect & sounds good too!!
I thought the same thing Rayane , thank you
does sound good
Sweet victory!!! 🤘🏻
thank you Jimmy !
That's some fine engineering to not fired up in all those years and just wee bit of TLC and on the road again!! German's build good stuff My grand dad used to tell me!! He was in WW2 behind the lines and when german would surrender to the Americans he would check out their machine's! tanks, trucks, artillery guns N stuff he said American tanks where built like old coal burning stoves!! And the German tanks where fine built machines !! If they only had more of them he would always say, America would had a lot more trouble!!
cool story , thank you for sharing Scotty
@@5150mxVW Thank you for sharing ur time!! I've been putting off fixing on my baby for to long!! I got to get to it!!!
Lookin good Jason. Dont let this Ghia beat you. As always, great video.
thank you Ron , she had me on the ropes !
Love it!! Thank you!
thank you Greg !
You’ve really captured the element of mystery here...and I finally learned the torque spec on the oil plate...who knew only 5 ft-lbs!
real easy to over tighten them , stoked all the studs are still intact :)
I love Ghias, I have yet to own one but hopefully soon.
👍, I hope you get one
Really like your approach, laid back and chilled.
Thank you NW , much appreciated
This was a funny one
:) , thank you Ralph , the car has new issues so stay tuned :)
Great video .Miss your little helper !
thank you Jeff , probably the will it drive vid
Awesome great job. Your getting better and faster each time lol
thank you Joshua , this car now has the tranny issue and the ole red light on , the gift that keeps educating
sweet sound on that engine
👍
I love hearing the old ones come back to life. Nice work!
thank you ! have a great weekend
The sweet Yellow Bug sounded like a motor cycle
exhaust does have a different note to it
Sweet deal ⚡️⚡️⚡️
thank you Kev
Love @Mustie1 he is the Wilson of TH-cam you never quite see his face 😂😂😂
👍
not quite like chrisfix. But I do the same ha ha.
It is so nice see you bringing back these engines coming live again !
that was a nice find , I didn't believe the miles were org when I talked to the seller but seeing the heads I was a believer .
Nice job getting the Ghia started. It sounds good. There was a lot of Marvel Mystery oil in the motor. Don't rush things, and take your time, and you will get it started.
thank you 65'
Sswwweeet😀
Nice to see another one brought back to life.
:) , thank you Harvey
castrol or Kendall only on vw IMO. that is all I use. doesnt break down. Some Stp sometimes has extra zinc. usually 1/2 container.
thank you Mike
Coil wire doesnt have anything to do with it lol
start at the battery and follow the hot backwards to the starter. As well the relays.
Them Gremlins get you every time
they spread to my bus :)
Yeah, success, congrats!!! Maaan, this engine runs and sounds really healthy/great (as it should be because of low mileage).

Thank you CC , the clutch is now free👍. The red Ghia sounds great now of course , I didn't do any taping that day but I thought it was a funny shot to film . I was doing those valves prior at 1 am and it was in the garage since , until we pulled it put . Thank you , best regards to you as well
Dear@@5150mxVW
Thanks for answering! Will you please tell us viewers how it break free? Respectively what "method" was used? We always want to learn something. Thanks in advance.
cranked it over in gear😂
Cool, it was fun to tinker on the aircools again!
thank you for you jump Dave !
Jason lot of faith in you buddy... It's all way's a runner. You got the magic! Good Vidio.
thank you Jim

Amazing and beautiful
thank you Mince
nice work !
thank you Kid
The filter on the sump catches the fillings right. Lots of vws where fitted with a magnet on the sump
when you pull the screen every 3k miles they don't look like that :)
Nice job, and what a beautiful car!
Sounds good
thank you , i thought so too
5150. The drill bits I told you to buy are TRUIMPH JUST LIKE THE MOTORBIKE. YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT MOTORBIKES!!'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL THE degree OF THE ANGLE of the drill bit!,,, you want is 135 not 118. The hundred 135 drill better in steel then the 118.... The 135 degree holds a better edge that it for show time talk with you take care JUNKMANDO
thank you SB
Sounds great .got thire in the end..
thank you Steve , indeed :)
That was brilliant
Thank you Andrew , much appreciated
SWEET RIDE!!
thank you Phillip
Very welcome, Enjoy!
I wanted to reach through the screen and help you troubleshoot those electrical gremlins.
why not just drive the 67 over ?
Now There’s a happy Camper !
heck yes !!! :) . thank you Steve
Great video thank's 👍
thank you Robert , much appreciated
