I am working on a parts list for some spring projects.  I would like
to re-lube my wiper mechanism and get it back in good shape.  One
problem I have, is the spring tension on the passenger side wiper arm
is very poor.  I can tell that they are mis-matched, and one of them

Ladies/Gents:
I am hoping someone can help with the link to a video I watched a few
years ago.  If I remember correctly, it was a German (Dutch??)
Ripley's Believe it or not-type of show where they drove a bug onto a

It idles fine on the choke , but warmed up it stalls pretty quickly.
which screw should I turn (fat or little one) and which way, in or out?
TIA.

Pretty suddenly last week I began to hear a fairly loud moan or low
pitched whine from the midsection of my Bus. No other symptoms, just
the moan. My experience with late 80s American fuel pumps leads me to
believe my fuel pump is to blame.  

Satisfied with their performance? I need to place a fairly large order and
don't want to get hosed.
Beginning restoration on some 60s type 2s.
Thanks,

1. Is there a max difference between the Cyl ID & Piston OD?
2. What should the rings diameters be for 40 HP pistons? how about 85.5 mm

i've got a newly rebuilt engine (old case and pistons, but i think most of
the rest of it is new [new rings, push rods, valves, etc.]) and i've changed
the oil two times since the rebuild which was about 600 miles and 4 months
ago. noticed with this oil change that there was a ...

I really new to all this, but I was wondering what is the best way to
get the beetle up enough to replace the cv boots and axles?  Do I need
to pull the engine to get at the transaxle?

the air cools the oil. ACVW's have a radiator .. for the oil.
but, you knew that.

I pulled the engine on my '76 last night, so I could swap the transaxle.
Yeah, I know I could have pulled 'em together, but working alone, i
figured it'd be easier to handle separate.
The trans came out this morning, quick and easy, and the replacement

The '72 standard was put away in 2002.  Sat outside all Wiinter (Minnesota).
I put the battery in and it started and ran. WTF?

A couple of you have asked if it was true that I refused to work on
