Looks great!

We had a chance to see a few Type2's yesterday at a local VW show. Makes me want one!

Youtube is a great resource. I found some videos that went over tuning my style of carb and now know I need larger squirters for the accel pump. Back firing through the carb (should be front firing) means it is too lean, go figure. Now squirter, change the cam a little in the accel pump, and adjust the idle mixture and I am in business, I think. The power valve is actually working, but I will be getting a 2 stage anyway for better economy. I am not building a drag racer. Paul and European Import Maintenance Center said that he could have it inspected this week when his guy gets back (bad back). I found that it is a $250 fine for driving without inspection stickers so I am limited on driving it around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Eep! I hope you did not find that out the hard way.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Awesome work O Evil One. A bus is almost as cool as a 914, and that's saying a lot.

I found out about the fine by asking Paul, before I attempted to drive my bus regularly. I will wait until I have an appointment with Paul before I drive it any distance.

I just got a vacuum gauge so that I can set the idle, figure out what power valve I need, and all kinds of data. I was talked out of a two stage power valve as they are mostly useful for light weight vehicles and would only rob power. The vac gauge will make tuning so easy, I will have time to work on other things to make it pretty/useful.

Good call. I could have had my bike on Saturday had I been willing to ride it with an expired tag... the PO rode it all the way from Annapolis (100 miles) with an expired tag... knowing my luck, I'd get pulled over in the 6 mile trip to my house.

I FOUND THE SHRIEK! It was a leak on the rear drivers down tube. I need to sand it down flatter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This changes everything with adjustments (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Really? REALLY?

Thats crazy. I am playing the sound in my head, and I guess it could be a whistle. Must be a hell of a leak though.

The gasket was acting like the paper part of a kazoo, only at higher pitch. Man, I do look like Shrek (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Well, I sanded the flange down the best I could. The hole in the down tube is bigger than the hole in the head making the seating a bit of a bitch. I reinstalled it, I hope it works. I added some hi temp silly-cone to aid in sealing. While working on the tube I found a nice hole in the welds at the flange/tube interface (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I filled it with liquid steel. I also changed the accel pump cam back to stock in order to start at base line with the tuning. I am betting that I set everything richer to compensate for the lean condition caused by the leaks. Fun fun.

No no. Don't fix it. Learn to drive the car so that it can play the Benny Hill theme song!

I know what it is called. But most everyone knows it as "the Benny Hill song" so I was playing to the masses.

It would be amusing to hear it emanate from the engine compartment while driving down the road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I tried to play it on my sphincter flute, but I couldn't hit the high notes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

It is LEGAL! Paul and Jimmy at EIMC inspected the bus while I finished rebuilding a race gear box. The bus drove awesomely on the way there. I can pull up hill all day long and it wont flinch. Head temps stay between 280-305*, oil steady at 225*, and pressure between 20-30psi (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I love having the gauges to make me feel confident. The carb still needs tweeking, and the exhaust has some leaks that need to be tightened, but it drives awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This is great news!

Do they even do vehicle inspections in Washington County? They may not, each county is different, and seem to be more lax the farther left you go.
