As you know, I own a Trabant 601S from 1984 here in the state of Ohio. It is my project/dream car. Since I made the video, I had someone from Germany mention a fuel leak that I have been chasing since her new engine was put in. I have since received a new carburetor, fuel hose as well as other new parts, with much thanks to my great friend in Germany. I plan to install them here soon but for now, here is a short drive. I will make a video about how I acquired this vehicle because that itself is one story that I hope will not only inspire you but also bring smiles to all. I hope to have that video released by the end of next week. The weather here can be crazy but I'll manage.

Indeed they are, especially here in Ohio where no one really knows what the heck they are looking at.

I've never seen a steering wheel from a Trabant like the one in your car. It must be very rare.

No no . A Subaru 360 engine would be a logical swap. Also an air cooled 2 cyl 2 stroke.

Your Trabant has a Hungarian license plate number? You should find one from the former GDR (German Democratic Republic).

I would if it was sold new in East Germany. It was sold new in Budapest.

@@McElroysMotors People associate the Trabant 601 with German reunification. The vehicle was also produced in Germany. So why would you drive around in the USA with a Hungarian license plate?

​@@McElroysMotorsThat's the right thing to do, why would you fake the history by putting a license plate on it which it never had?

Fuel to oil ratio?
@McElroysMotors
@McElroysMotors 4 месяца назад
Supposed to take 50:1 but I have been using 32:1 due to it's brand new engine.
@McElroysMotors
@McElroysMotors 2 месяца назад
It normally takes 50:1, older ones use 33:1. I am running 32:1 right now but plan to switch to the standard ratio once I cover 125 miles with the new engine recently fitted. So far, I covered 40 miles at just 10.6 miles per gallon.
