{Will it Drive?}1974 VW Beetle Part 2 

I don't understand why they are giving you a hard time about Jack driving in the videos. I've seen kids younger than Jack driving on several other channels. It's on your property and he is dang near old enough to drive on the road legally. I love what you guys are doing. Keep up the great work!

My very first car was a 1967 VW Beetle. Dark blue. My Daddy taught me how to remove disassemble clean reassemble and reinstall the carburetor and the fuel pump on it. He taught me so much with that car. I’m a female and now I am paralyzed from the chest down and can only dream about what I used to could do. Enjoy the lessons you teach your boys. This is one of the best times you will have in your life.

What an awesome father, wouldn't worry about the simple minds telling you what you should and should not be doing it's truly how kids learn.

This is the first video I have watched, but I will be going back through the past videos to catch up. As for Jack driving, I say the more experience he has before he hits the road, the better he will be when he gets out there. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to catching up with your work.

I remember my brother getting a B&W and him working on it . That was before UTube (58 years ago) was a lot of laughter but more swear words . Brought back some sweet memories.

Incredible, a teenager that can drive a straight drive! Great job Jack!

I like the way you work. You do what makes sense. So many people try to over analyze stuff and end up making a mess. Just do what makes sense. I don't know why so many people find that so hard.😊

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers Kent. Note to self always close the drains before you put stuff in them.

RU-vid guidelines are a joke. Great job enjoy the videos

My first car was an older VW bug , hard top with a rag top, and the gas gauge was the tire iron with gauged markings on it to tell you how much gas you had ! I had a ball with it I even rolled it in the salt flats where I lived in California, only damage done was three fenders dented, let it st for a few minutes and drove it home ! Loved that bug !

Well, 3rd one seals the deal. You said you weren't a VW guy when you bought the wiring harness bug but now, you can't contest it Kent. You got "the bug" for ole bugs and it looks like its spreading to your boys. Love it

I worked at a VW garage for the summer when I was 16 years old. Have a lot of memories of that summer. It was fun working on them. How fast we could rebuild an engine on one of them. We could have it in the shop and out that day. Sometimes, we get two out in one day. One of the memories of that summer was after work. I went to my brother's house there in town to get cleaned up so it wouldn't take that so long to get over to my girlfriend's house for the date we had that night. I got my bath and got my clothes on and realized I didn't have my dress shoes. All I had was my old Grease shoes. So I had to make that trip home to get my shoes. It was a 20-mile round trip, but I made it back to get her about 10 minutes later than I said I would be. That old 57 Chevy got me there. Love you'll stay safe, and God bless. Dan 🇺🇸

Yeah that's a nice Vocho. If you go to Mexico you'll see lots of families still owning one and hoping for it to still roll. They're still really common there, watching one being brought back to life in the US feels really nice.

That little basket is actually for making tea. You would put tea leaves in it😅😅

Glad you got it running. Sounds like he enjoyed driving it.

Oh wow that looks like sleeperdude daughters blue bug 😊 I like it. My dad has a 1969 hydroshift.

I know this is usually a "guys" channel but I have enjoyed watching and learning from you and Jack. I used to sit outside with my dad and hand tools to him he didn't get mad at me as much as he did my brothers. I learned from him but mostly I enjoy Jack !! I love watching him.🎉

Always remember "Forward young man". Keep up what you are doing.

Great video you really should move the fuel hose away from the distributor in case it leaks . In my bug I ran a pice of steel line around the engine then short pice of hose both ends . Seen to many bugs catch fire from leaking gas over exhaust and distributor.

Congratulations on the million. Glad tovsee what y'all did on the bug. Looking forward to more.

Kent, that was probably the easiest start I have ever seen. Sorry about the lost video. But, know Jack had a big time in the bug. Thank you for sharing. 💯👍

VWs are always fun to drive..

If you put a magnet on the end of the chain of your little strainer, you could stick it to the lid of your ultrasonic cleaner and pull it out when you open the top.

If the gaskets are leaking it means the floats either too high or the needle and seat is sticking after doing the carburetor you should check the valve adjustment

Good grief! I grew up on a farm. As soon as we could reach the pedals and stick shift, we were in a truck or piece of farm equipment. We used old telephone books to look over the steering wheel

I had a 1964, 65, 66, and a 1969. Sure did enjoy those bugs, this video makes me want another one.

Congratulations on 1 million Subscribers!!! You deserve it big time ❤

Crazy that RU-vid would strike that. Crazy what some channels get away with and how picky they are on others! I watched it again just give you another view and like!

I had a "74 Beetle just like that, except red in color...loved that car...easy if you need to work on...pull 4 bolts and drop the engine to put on the bench

You should see if it floats haha

Man Kent I’m so jealous of that beetle I’ve been looking for one where im at in Ky but you can’t find and that aren’t all rusted out unfortunately. You’re so lucky that you live in a dryer climate.

Dude that is so stupid jack did great I’m only 13 and I drive no problems if kids have the knowledge they should be able to drive even on there own property on my farm I would drive my truck around just fine RU-vid need to lighten up a bit but y’all are awesome and Jack you are real lucky to have a dad that gave you a car and helped you work on it

I truly enjoy seeing what you share with us that you, Jack and AJ are working on in the garage. HUGE Congrats on the million mark and hope for a couple million more. Also have to say its a shame RU-vid or if somebody complained seeing Jack can drive better than them have to be such Party Poopers. Keep being awesome Jack!

Thanks for another GREAT video!!!

Absolutely nothing wrong with Jack driving. He’s a great kid 👍

These videos are awesome so descriptive! Ill never be able to drive as I’m Blind. Hello from New Zealand

Great Job ....a little advice never put a filter in the engine compartment.....and you need a shepherds hook on your advance I love Bugs

Congratulations on the million subscribers!

Nice job Kent!! Sucks RU-vid won’t allow you to show the fun stuff.

That is so awesome Kent, I bet that was a blast too see Jack cruise the bug, I still can’t believe someone reported that last time. I mean I get it, but it’s like come on now they live in the country he’s driving on there own property, not jamming down the main highway… anyways good stuff thanks again for the videos, love too watch and also learn , blessings from southern Cali

That little basket turns out to be a tea fob

Blahahahaha!!! LOVE how you didn’t mention WHO it was that removed the memory card!! LOL!!!! I JUST LOVE ALL KIDS!!!!❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️

Nice bug….first vehicle I ever owned …mine was a 72 super , but the reg beetles were a better vehicle imho.mine was yellow. The blue is awesome…I’m jealous…

Haters will hate!! If you want your youngin' to learn how to drive at an young age,... then do it!! It only makes them better and safer drivers on the road. I always encourage the younger folk to get their drivers license as soon as they turn the required age. The problem is, the old school ways (which are way better) are forgotten and a bunch of "Karen's" took it's place. They should just realize that the kids are our future. Teach them well!!!! This is an awesome channel and that's a cool trick. When I clean the carb on my machine I'm going to try the Pine-Sol. I'm betting it does wonders on small engines as well. Thanks for the tip!!

My 1969 had an oil bath air cleaner...Coleman fuel cleans carbs nice and shiny. Purple Power works nice too. Perhaps a Farm License for Jack would get YT to change their minds.

Ultra sonic solution: one part Mr. Clean, one part Ammonia, and two parts water.

This channel is truly awesome. So many great lessons. Keep the tape rolling. Loved the idea of cell phone pictures before disassembling the carburetor. ❤😊!

8:50 it looks like a tea leaf strainer for when you buy loose tea leaves rather than teabags.

I got a 1969 el Camino it needs some work but I got it to run last week

Hey.. congratulations on the million mark, you deserve it

Finallyyy something longer than 10 seconds 🖐🏻🤚🏻

Outstanding job,&very intrested the young men invalve in the job ,thanks well explained,Say hello to You allá thanks already suscribe from panamá,Jorge.

I love VW Beetles

I knew you guys would take off. Congratulations on the million.

Jack fixes at ranchero up like he's doing a very good job on I think that would make him a great first car when he turns 16

I really enjoy your content! Thank you for all the hard work making the videos and doing the wrenching. I know it's harder than people think it is. What happened to the Starliner?? I do like all the cars and Gojacks as well but to be a bit honest (I'm brutal sometimes sorry LOL) your videos seem to jump around a lot in the order and a guy looks forward to seeing the next part of a build or car repair. But I guess that's your privilege as it's your channel. I wouldn't want to have you think I don't really appreciate everything your doing!! You guys ROCK!! LOL. Oh and definitely ignore those that are the "Karens" whining about things they have no clue about. Sleeperdudes kids drive all the time and I drove when I was a kid on our acreage and not only that a person that has started driving at a young age is going to become a much better driver by the time they can go on public roads and be far safer because their nerves will be calmer and their understanding will be greater. So don't let the Marxists run your morality. LOL. It's not based on any type of sense or reason.

Gotta love that pinesol

2:09 Damn lol couldn’t tell if that was meant to be like that

First and happy to see speed bumb garage posting always mad whenever i finish the video

im so jealous of jack

Kent rules 👍🏼

I thought you would be ok driving on private land,great vid just found you all from uk

Dude there’s no way. I just commented like two days ago or yesterday asking about if you’re making another video about the bug!

Nice bro ima big fan

Simple Green is known to corrode aluminum. Not allowed for use on aircraft.

My new fav channel

your ultrasonic cleaner is that used to clean the outside of the carburator mainly and you still have to use air for the jets

😂😂😂😂😂 darn drones

really cool car!

That would be a great work car save a lot of gas money.

It’s weird you guys get community guideline violations given the content is pretty family friendly especially considering your kids play such a big focus on them.

I wouldn’t of noticed the valve open, and I probably would’ve let it run all out

It's a shame people pick on Jack driving I lived in a rural area growing up and drove to the local store in Dads car at 13

That all was shot before winter hit obviously. The bug looks great. I am intensely jealous of it. What are you going to do with it now that it is running?

Siiicccckkkk

❤

I hear there is an indoor car show in Woodward, Ok. tomorrow. Are you going?

May I ask how old he is because if he has his learners then he’s fine must be close I am too🎉

Is the ranchero going to be jack's first car is that what he's going to drive when he gets his license

Maybe the fuel tank?

Oil bath cleaner is stock..

BLOOPERS KENT....HAHAHA.

After they rebuild these car do they sell them?

Hey, congrats on the 1M subscriber threshold. Y'all do a great job on your videos. I have a question. I just started a Blog & a RU-vid channel sharing my Holy Bible studies. How do you keep your video archives, or do you just rely on RU-vid for that. I am considering either USB Jump Drives or SSD External Hard Drives. I don't want to clog up my laptop. Anyway, what do you suggest? God bless you and yours!!

One of the first

Super clean is a super degreaser

I was 14 learning to drive in residential streets so I could get my learners permit. People need to stop imposing their insecurities on others. It isn’t that deep.

Do y'all have merch

Sounds mean

I think I've seen this video

If I took that carburetor apart, I would NEVER get it back together again. 😳

Why can't we see Jack driving the bug? I don't understand.

Wheres the kid?

Don't know why you can't show footage of jack driving, Sleeperdude does it with his kids all the time

Is this a re upload?

I worked in a scrap yard as a teenager back in the 70's and watched a man pull the engine out of a VW bug by hand! The engine weights less than 200 lbs.

Community guideline is actually Commie Rules

First

with all the crap RU-vid leaves up, a kid driving a car under his dad's supervision, on their own property, is not allowed. Make this make sense.

A minor under 15 driving a vehicle on private property is considered child endangerment by community guidelines? I ran myself over with my 1986 Suzuki ATV not enclosed footwells like modern ATVs leg went back and the rear tires took me down popped the ATV into neutral pushed it off and hopped back on if open always wear jeans. Also tipped a Go-Kart on its side hit the shut-off switch took off the seatbelt up-righted the Go-Kart after explaining to parents I was fine restarted and hopped back in. Danger would be my oil changes on my previous car no ramps, no jack stands and a floor jack or the vehicle scissor jack. Your Vehicles with no air bags and a properly adjusted seat with the ability to reach petals and see clear through the windshield. At Most I would see dented tin on your shop and a damaged hood, fender bumper or light from a VW bug in a low gear. The Injury chance is realistically under 1% if you taught on flat open ground or a sight up hill. If under 12 driving a 90s or early 00s vehicle with an active driver airbag I could see it the injury risk goes up. I see kids racing cars on a track and on dirt bikes on RU-vid so I don't see the problem with someone under 16 driving on private property with adult supervision let alone with a adult in the vehicle.
