Way late here but idle jet is easy to clog. I run a large idle jet and make sure choke adjustment is turned down on my 34. Idle cut off has to be powered, seemed OK.
Nice old strip mine, Where is that??? Awesome overlook at 1st stop !!! I live in SW tip of Indiana, we have some old strip mines here. In the past the game warden would not go on old mine property. Now all have fences, gates, and purple trees. Most are happy hunting grounds for the rich. We have one close that is run by the state called interlake with all the death high-walls knocked down.
Im from south eastern PA, there was a lot of mining here. The mining has really tapered off so there are miles and miles of strip mines that we ride in. Like most things, they are always cracking down and closing spots off making it harder to find good riding spots. They are also starting to re-claim a lot of these tailings and something is going on with the EPA. Either way, it makes some great riding terrain. I didnt know there was coal seams in Indiana but it makes sense with it being in ohio, kentucky as well. Thanks for watching!
@@spankranchgarage The strip pits here are really old, they left the land ripped up and just seeded from the air, maybe in the 50s or 60s. We have current strip and undergrounds mines here. Here is what ours look like from my near stock woodsbuggy. Thanks for the interesting info and your time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TNJSqY7vMxk.html
Seems to me it would have been much easier to just pick up a different set of VW wheels. Those things are evry where. But, good job on the custom wheels
It's been like 5 years and I still haven't been able to ride my dune buggy...smh. hahaha...Your dune looks similar to mine. It even has a dent on the same size on a similar gas tank
Wow! You're so good at doing stuff! Where did you learn all these skills? I mean I take stuff apart and put stuff together but you know exactly what you're doing! I want a buggy like yours. Those wheels are badass!
I'm curious what you ended up having to do on the trail to get it running again AND, in general, what you believe the problem was? You said you swapped out a gasket, was this to prevent stuff from ending up in the bowl and was that debris the issue?
I found various problems with this. The distributer cap was slightly dislodged. The coil had a questionable connection. The carb was always getting debris in it despite having 2 fuel filters up stream. I had to make a bowl gasket from scratch because the old one was torn up and I couldnt get a replacement in time.
Gotta play with your audio bud. Buggy is loud as balls so turn it down cause the little one is sleeping. Then I can't hear you so I gotta turn it up. Haha
