Just a couple more details and another one will leave the building. I'm hoping Jesse brings it to the VW Treffen. Maybe if I guarantee it won't break down on the way home?
For all the restoration pics click here. http://www.classicvws.com/jesse.htm

Drip tray for the carb.

Looks pretty nice.
What is the black apparatus under the carburetor, near the top of the intake manifold?
Do you need a fuel pump? |

If the throttle plate bushings are worn it could drip there.
It could drip at the inlet fitting if damaged.

Do those no-accelerator pump carburetors normally drip? |

My 26s don't drip. But that plate is kind of cool.
Is it just the pic, or does the regulator have a spring bale wire over it?
Nice work Lenny.

Something's wrong with the generator or backing plate. The regulator is off axis for some reason.
