Well, maybe not everyone but I did wake My Square and Notch last weekend when it warmed up so nicely! I like to start them up once during the long winter and warm them up thoroughly.. and even though were in a "perma-salt" situation for the winter that keeps the cars off the road entirely it was nice to hear the din of an air cooled engine again! I was impressed that an 8 year old battery still had enough cranking in it to fill the oil cooler and get the pressure up before I let it start. Fuel pressure came right back up this time, usually it takes some cranking but every few years I guess the little valve seats just right.... Sigh! Now for the second half of the winter :-( Keith Top Notch Restorations topnotch@nycap.rr.com 71 Squareback 65 Notchback "El Baja Rojo" 65 Squareback "Eggcrate" 87 golf "Winterat" 93 RX7 "Redstur" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
