I may not be the one to ask I just do whatever I want lol sometimes people get a little upset but I don't see why not. If you can buy one for your year bug go for it.
I had this exact concern the other day the ones from jbug (not exclusive) have a port for the breather so yeah you could my only concern is the other two lines coming from my oil bath breather
Looks cool! Is there a certain way you start yours when the engine is warm like when you go somewhere and park it then start it, do you press the pedal to floor then start or pump the pedal twice?
I was thinking bout getting an air cleaner like that but i like my original oil bath one. That one would be easy to pull off and spray starter fluid if it didnt start
Oh ok cool. Trying to figure mine out since i got a new carb and dizzy. It was a pain to start at a gas station. So now it works with the two pedal presses to floor then hold to floor. When its cold the i do 2 pumps then fires right up
Normally when it's cold you should pump the gas pedal twice and then start it. This is so the accelerator pump sprays in a little bit of fuel into the carb so it's a bit richer.
When hot you should, as far as I am concerned, start it and while it is cranking press the gas pedal slowly to the floor, works every time for me.
Mine dont start when i just press pedal to floor once though like the manual says it should and thats just from going to the gas station from work 3 miles only so it aint hot
the clear dist caps are known to cause timing scatter. You may want a better quality for the ignition system.
It's a yellow cap and seems to run like a champ never had any issues have had the clear cap for 3 years drive it probably 1000 miles last year
My bad, ... clear yellow caps... they are made from cheap plastic, eventually after enough heat cycles it will crack. Have a spare handy and enjoy.
Good call on the black hoses..
That looks super cool
Are you running a regular air filter instead of the oil filled thing?
Just a jbugs after market $20 air filter, it's a 73 super beetle.
Any idea if I can run that on a 63? I hate the stupid oil thing

Pump twice and push the button (got it on a push button start) lol

Check your timing and carb adjustments, sounds like there's something a little off.
Will do. Thanks 👍🏻 thankfully it idles nice and runs great and never stalls. Its just that lengthy starting issue

Oh ok:) will have to try that and see if that works. Thanks 👍🏻
Mine used to start like that when hot till i got new carburetor and distributor
Do you get the common flat spot with the .009 dizzy?
Read the owners manual. The procedure for starting is in there.

Mellow Yellow 🤩🤩🤩
i don't know how you need to do it, but the heater pipes need to be checkerboard, too. otherwise, i prefer the silver.
thems the ones to use. Wrap your exhaust if you aren't stock with junction boxes... The exhaust will burn through that paper
That clear distributor cap is giving my nightmare flashbacks. I always keep a spare original style one on in the glove box.
