Meet Ivan, My 1974 standard, Love Bug edition. I picked this guy up from Georgia a few months ago and have been working hard toward a daily driving state, Im finally hitting that point and am ready to dive into restoration! I’m already so happy I joined the air cooled vw community, y’all are amazing
Newbie here :) Need to test the engine. Currently it doesnt start and I’m trying to figure out what else to check. Should I worry the generator light doesn’t light up when the key is on? (Not even trying to start the motor) (otherwise I’ll check spark plugs, distributor gap, carb, bypass fuel pump...)
I'm trying to take off my intake manifold so I can replace the gasket and boot but the pesky engine tin/shroud covering the cylinder area has the manifold piece surrounded to where I can't pull it off the bolts where the manifold is mounted.... Anyone got any tips without removing the engine? Thanks
