What did you do to your Beetle this week?

I dig the YOM license plates!

I gave the front end a lube job and put new oil filled shocks all around.

I finally got to putting the right door glass back in. I was remiss to put it together with new seals and felt and such, only to have to rip it all out again when I paint the car. So I just put the old felt in, and will leave the window up for winter. I ordered a piece to repair the bottom door hinge area. It's a bit rotted. I still have to figure out why one brake light doesn't work, left, and when I step on the brake with left turn signal on, it just blinks fast, step off brake and it works normal.

I was able to determine, yesterday, that the coil is putting out spark. Still won't start, though. Lots of cranking but no hint of ignition.

I'm gonna check the valves for correct adjustment, check the point gap and static timing. If it doesn't start, the carburetor is next.

Fuel gets to the carb, but once there I don't know yet if there is a problem inside the carb. So i'll be looking for some sort of clog/obstruction.

I installed a Carter P06504 electric fuel pump and tach sensing fuel pump relay.
I turn the key to the on position and hear a faint buzz of the FP for 3 seconds then it shuts off. Works as designed.

Have a great day.

My motor is a single port. Probably just linked the wrongs ones. Thanks for the offer though.

I think Weber ICTs are a great low-key dual carb setup. Nice, rather simple carbs, not too big, and on an single port engine with it's inherent good port velocity at low speeds, a good match.

I do not know how to fix this. All I can say is it all works fine for me with what I use, Firefox.

Spent 15 mins pulling my motor out. Waiting on parts to arrive tomorrow to finish the new motor. Then that should be in no later than Wednesday.
