My Notchback Weekend
I did the brakes on my notch this weekend and the gas tank.
Tank was done by a friend. I replaced all the fuel lines.
The metal line through the tunnel is plugged up so I spent
several hours fishing new fuel line from front to rear.
Carbs are fresh rebuilt. I have gas in the filter I put after the fuel pump.
Car will only run if I pour gas from a cup into the carbs then start it.
Car will only run 15 or 20 seconds then dies.
I cannot figure this out still.
It ran this way when the gas tank was plugged up.
Gave up trying to get her to run. Looks good in the garage though.
I put on new master cylinder replaced all hoses and lines.
Old stuff was so bad I had to cut it all off and start over.
Couldn't break and connections loose. Bleeders broken off before I got
the fine 1965 Type 3. I replaced the front wheel bearings and seals while
it was all apart. After everything was back together I bled the master and
then started on the wheels. Major leak on front left.
I took it all apart again and realized I didn't get the connector pipe between
the two wheel cylinders tight enough. Fixed that. Brake parts cleaner got all
the fluid off of everything. Re-packed the wheel bearings again. All back
together
I started bleeding. I got pretty good pedal and was happy... Then when
pushing
the pedal I get the Ppffsssst sound. The fluid is now coming from the back
side
of the Brand new German Master Cylinder. My old one was a 19mm This
new one is 20mm Everything else looked the same. Now I need to rebuild my
new master. Where do I get a kit for this?
Why won't my car run? What do I check next.
Spent 22 hours over the last two days under my Notch.
I hope your weekend went better than mine...
