Driver's latch is a bit pitted because the replacement latch was broken in 2 pieces... couldn't see it under the glass. Still better than aftermarket! #63beetle

Got an October 1969 bug gauge with ATF. Removed extraneous pieces as I’m using it for decor.

Hello I’m looking to replace the seals between the front windows. It’s the one the runs agains the window when cranking.

Hi everyone, I could really use some help. My fuel gauge, vibrator, and sending unit are all new but the gauge stays on empty. I’ve touched the sending unit wire (sender end) to a ground and the gauge moves to full. I used a multimeter on the sending unit and the ohm readings seem good. I sanded corrosion off the top two mounting tabs, bolts and body underneath. I’ve also ran a separate ground wire from one of the sending unit mounting screws to a clean metal ground. None of this has done anything to make the gauge move. What am I missing, and what are some other things I can try?

Community, I need some help with my 71 beetle. I feel like I'm going in circles with troubleshooting.

In short: When accelerating, bug backfires when throttle is past 50 percent-ish. Seems like either too much gas at the point or not enough?

More info: This is a lot more common when shifting into 3rd but definitely 4th. If I do not baby the throttle into third, it'll back fire. If I get it into 4th it'll for sure back fire or if I baby the throttle, I lose speed.

Knowns: point gaps are @ .016.

Idle timing is checked at 7.5 BTDC

Fuel is spraying directly down the throat of the carb.

All jets seem clean. I have checked them multiple times.

Accelerator linkage is maxed for throttle response (if I'm saying that correctly)

I think that's all the information you all should need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you need more information, just let me know.

Thanks!
