Life gets busy. And priorities change…as they should sometimes.
But finally, I have some time to devote to my 1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper.
Recently tried to start the bus, but it would turn over but just wouldn’t fire up. Yesterday, I drained the old gas (it’s been in there of two years with STA-BIL), and added several gallons of non-ethanol. Went to crank and it fired up, the timing was a little off, but I adjusted the distributor a little to get it at least running.
Pulled the distributor vent tube, plugged it and put the timing light on it to get it on the timing mark.
With her running again, it’s time to start on the leftover bodywork.
See below for a quick video on it running and how the engine compartment has turned out with a refresh.
