l had faith in you,

She's a Runner...You got her going Jason. Keep'em coming buddy!

I love these “will it start, first start in a long long time videos”! Thanks bro!

What a fantastic car, always fun to see them start after so many years.

of coarse it runs Jason you had the best teacher. Great job. BIG THUMBS UP

" I think I can I think I can " it's saying I knew you could do it ! Nice !

Loved the Billy Joel and Van Halen refrences. Thanks for the great videos. Keep em comin'!!!

It always puts a smile on your face when then rin the first time. Take care my friend.

I don't really watch professional sports but I sure did root on for this thing the whole video. I even stood up!

6V starters matter. I love the insert" no starters were harmed during filming. That was great. One day im going to have to chat in private. Im amazed on how many VWs your still finding. Here in FL. we lost thousands of beetle from cash for clunkers. It's been real thin findings ever since. Thank you as always for saving these and sharing the content with others.

You may not know anything about motors BUT your sense of humor definitely makes up for it. (wish I lived next door...you need an old timer like me to show you how to manhandle those old engines)

Congrats on getting the 64 running. The longer it ran the better it sounded.

Oh no! He's threatened to pull my carb. I'd better start.

"Well the starter's been cooling off for about 7 and a half seconds, so let's give it a go"

You were worried about the starter and I was thinking about the battery!! It had more juice than I expected. Good job!

Great job 5150, persistence is everything. Another car that will be difficult to cull from the herd.

That's determination! I would have had it half dissembled by the time you had it running and still had no clue. Well done.

All it needed was a little love and affection. great job.

Fedex Overnight! VW First Start KIT and a can of whoop ass! =) Nice job buddy!

Hey man, Kevin here from Australia. Mustie 1 would have just pulled the carb and put it in the ultrasonic cleaner. While he was waiting for the carb he would have adjusted the brakes then washed the car . All this in time for lunch. After lunch carb back on start car and test drove.What a guy 🤪 Anyhoo thanks for sharing man stay safe and stay well. ✌ Peace.

I'm glad the FedEx guy got it running for you.

"No starters were harmed." The 1964 was a 6 volt and the 6 volt starters had heavier windings.

Good job Jay!

I've got one of those big cap Bosch Distributors for sale, new points, everything. They are actually correct for a 61-64 Bug/Bus.

awesome first start jason

Yeah Panama got fire in the belly Sweet!!!; )

Love that car and the engine endnd up sounding great. As Borat would say, “Great Success”!!!

7:26 "Love Walks In" 😁

They all run! Nice shot

I can't wait to see the next episode's.

Grinding over a completely non-cooperative engine brings back bad memories ... I felt myself getting tenser and tenser as you kept going to no avail, until it DID! Yay!! Damn; the relief...

Great video thank's

Straight back at you bro have a great weekend bro another live one

THIS IS A COLLECTIBLE !!!

Nice. I was waiting for the flaming mice to come shooting out the tailpipe

They all run ! This one was just a little stubborn 😁👍👍👍

I really injoy your videos.

if you bring the engine to TDC on the compression stroke with the points closed, advance until the points just open. That will be very close to timing specs.

I like the early beetles the most

I love the van Halen song titles while you talk

Hi Jason, be sure to give that throttle lever a tug, either from the carb lever itself or the gas pedal if connected. Even with fuel in the bowl and spark gas may not be getting down into the intake ports if the throttle plate stays closed. Thanks for the video and keep 'em coming! take care - Ted

Hey! You might remember me from commenting on other videos. I am excited to announce that I just purchased my first Beetle!! An '83 with a pre 70's look. Dark blue metallic, completely restored. Absolutely in love!! Damn man, they drive amazing.. wow!

Just threaten to call in the great Mustie1 and they start! Good job 👏!

EVH Commanded Panama to start, all the way from his 5150 studio in the sky.

I sit and watch, wait, see your frustration, nothing, there was a small cough, The after 7:25 It starts !! Like a sunrise, like a ..... no not that! After all the years. Well done!!

Was gonna say Mustie would be proud, but he beat me to it

Solid ending! Nothing but net.

I’m a week late watching your video. A job well done by the way Happy Birthday 🎁

Great find

Love it! That is a driver!

As if he didn’t look cool enough getting Panama running, he just HAD to shoot the ball backwards😂😉

Dear 5150mxVW 👍👌👏 Well, Sir, I guess that starter motor was not far away from going to Johnathan W.s special starter motor cemetery/grave yard. 😁 2) I definitely like that bug. It must be the colour I guess. Great to hear it runnin' again. Congrats! 3) I hope that your great little petrolhead son Josh will do the pressure washing again. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the cleaning process, oil and front hood change etc.p.p.. 4) Please, big "J", please tell me that you tried that fantastic backshot/trickshot at the end of the video a lot of times. Because if it is a one in a hole my mind will blow up. 😁 Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.

Love that year

Great way start my morning love your videos have blessed day

Man, I always enjoyed watching your videos. ✌🏽🤙🏽

That was funny.... " I knew I should have just done the first wash video today." that made me laugh! Great video!

Mouse urine and Marvel Mystery Oil ... the breakfast of champions!

It's Alive it's Alive. Way to go man have a good weekend. Stay safe out there buddy...

Great to see it start after many years😀👍 Warning the car to pull the carb and it start, old cars have soul😀😀

Good job!! I knew you would get it running.

It helps if you actuate the throttle a little bit too. Sometimes a little shot from the accelerator pump helps get it running faster. Also at least static time it first; it gives you a benchmark that you can fine tune later. That last hoop shot was legendary. You da man! Still waiting for that concourse resto from last time...🤣😂

Sounds like a little misfire. Check​ the intake throttle/body acceleration to fix a possible vacuum leak. Great video.

Signs off with a casual no-look, behind-the-back shot. Yeaaaah!

Haven't seen a will it run in a while very happy to see this video

7:26 WOAHHHHHH CHILE SHES ALIVEEEEEEE!!!!!!! 💪

Nice! She runs really well! And she's pretty too!

Great video, keep them bugs going!

Nice shot.

And we have a Billy Joel fan in the house 😁

It's alive!!!

Should have had "Panama" by VanHalen playing in the background ...

Man, was this frustrating to watch. I was shouting at the monitor "Brush off the plugs, clean the points and rotor, check the distributor cap for any nasties, put a little timing in it, and crank it!" The payoff was worth it though, that thing is gonna be sweet! Way to go!

Missed you restoring vw bugs they need life again

Or you could have gone all Basil Fawlty.." if you don't start, I'm going to give you a damn good thrashing!"😃

That's a dam good battery.

Thats how ya stick it out!!

I really loved to format of this video. Mustie1 taking you thru the 2 hour step-by-step is wonderful, but I like the short format you did. You were killing me. I would have resorted to starting fluid to get it wormed up. ...and yes you can get lubricated starter fluid, only kind I use.

Dam to see her run they dont make cars like that nomore. Keep up the good work as always love your channel

nice billy joel there lol 7:09 - 7:15 HAHAHAAA / been there

Great videos. You mustie. Vgg Can’t get nuff. Aberdeen. Scotland

That carb needs to have a talk with Tanya Harding.

What no Mustie in this vid ? 🤣🤣🤣 still nice job getting Panama started. Well done 👏. Stay safe and healthy 🇬🇧

Hi Jason..... That was a great vidio. Love when you get the VW. Running after sitting for 30 yrs. And you get them running great! Do you ever sell any of the car's? Your vidio's are great enjoy them!!TY

Finally.....whew!

I keep a spray bottle for carb fuel works great straight gas

my god that engine sounded nice

Other than the lack of muffler it sounds really good.

Well done!

No throttle cable? Love that car! Great find.

That one was tough to start for sure. Once they do start they will start again

You need one of those Lone Wolf 6000 starter thingies.

PANAMA= A she for me!

I knew you got this. Just send it.👍

I WAS going to be clever, & comment "We didn't start the fire", but then Panama fired, so that just leaves me w/saying "Congratulations", which isn't nearly as clever. When you asked the engine, "Just what's the matter with you, huh?" I had a brief flashback to my '75 Bel Air - she made me change her spark plugs in -20 degree weather before she would start one year.. I'll never forget that. Did I say congratulations?

Very nice, awesome VW, find you through Musty 1

Nice dude

Hi Brother another great vid, was going to ask when are you going to get the bikes underway again ? the video with Mustie in looked like you got a good bit further with them, any footage?? Please, don't tell me you got young Josh to finish them off of camera he he, hope you guy's are well, Wayne UK...........

Nice! Now wash it and take it out for a rip!

hahahahaa i was like hes gonna shoot that basket / MAKES IT ! smooth criminal ! ! thanks for correcting me by the way i thought that was Mustie1 ! ! ! you brother's ROCK

Shes alive yay 👏 How many takes to get that basket??
