Interesting about Rudy's message being classified as SPAM. Anyhow, my second rebuild of the carburetor I put in the extra parts I had neglected to put in before, and also replaced/rebuilt the choke diaphragm assembly.
Car seems to run fine now, after it warms up, the idle speed may be a bit high. Starting it, seems to be a little iffy, but if I give it a lot of gas, and don't disengage the starter motor too quick, it isn't a problem. Yesterday, replaced both my headlights. Since it is a 66, there are extra lights within the bucket assembly. I've heard conflicting stories that these are turn signals, or parking lights. I couldn't find the parking light switch. I've tried it as turn signals, and the only thing lighting up in the front are some fender mounted-jobbies that I thought were stock but are definitely not. Car has some electrical issues, thankfully, they don't prevent me from driving it around town, but here they are: fuel gauge-used to work, but doesn't anymore. speedo-used to work, but doesn't anymore. wiper motor-may have worked one time, but doesn't anymore. There is a weird junction box in the trunk "Volta Drop, Northridge California" the only thing I found out about Volta Drop is they are no longer in business and opened for business in 1966. All of the fuses appear to be in good shape. Yesterday, while fiddling with the headlights at home, some sort of electrical smoke started but I couldn't isolate where it came from and it stopped. Other than that, it is fun to drive around this beetle, even if it needs a lot of TLC. Also, my job in town is going well, however; it may not last because I am temping here.
