I spent some time on the Rat Rod and fixed the Broken Valve Spring. 



It all most fell part Easy and in 3 peices



I knew the trick about Getting the keepers loose and out 

Compressed the spring wrong the First time. The fingers  of the compressor were in the way and I noticed that one arm was longer than the other.



Found out Why! When you do it correct. 11&*

Put a gap between the petronics and the roller... Apparently there was suppose to be one Set it to matchbox thickness till I find my feeler gauges. Pulled the bus out onto the road (first time since break down) runs real smooth... Just doesn't want to start. Thinking carb is leaking fuel into cylinders? Does this happen? I have most of my tune up stuff, just gotta get over my confidence issue. Bus runs better than when I went to grannies... Aside from the very poor starting.

Purchased a buzzer that will connect to the oil pressure sensor since my light doesn't work. Wiring nightmare.

You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.

The VWs you can sleep in are more gooder

There are 3 kinds of people in this world, The kind that can count and the kind that can't.
