Can any one give me a good idea who or where i can get my 1969 bug checked out to see if it needs another tune up or just a tweeking here or there to get it running right. I have got all the lights working correctly, the turn signal switch replaced ( and working ) and the other little things i have got advice here from all the great people. Heck i even just got an original 1969 am radio that i am going to install when it stops raining. I need a speaker to replace the one in the dash though. But if any one has an idea who can help me on the tune up or such i would be happy as i do not have the timing light etc needed to do the job. The last time i did one ( with help ) was in the late 1980's..........Rob

I just tried to call both #'s and they have been disconnected. Sent them a e-mail, we'll see...........

Thanks for the help guys. When the bug ( aka Roadkill ) was running great i had run down to find the new shop there on hawthorne street and could not find a thing so i do not know about them till some body can get a call through to them but i will keep checking on them. I will definately call Rick at the dealership to see if he can help. I think it is something easy to adjust but out side my ablity to figure it out at this time. When i bought the bug i had it fully tuned up with new plugs, wires, points etc and it ran great for me to drive but due to a problem with the new breaks ( found a retaining clip had come loose ) i had not drove it more than about 400 miles in the last year. Recently it starts great and sits and runs for about 2 minutes and then slowly dies out. I do not know if i just need to fill up the tank and try and drive it or what. So there is what the problem is. If any thing pops into your minds what the problem may be that would be great as it just sits there in the drive way stairing at my house....

Thanks for the info, i will get it filled up ( if it will make it to the gas station ) and drive it a bunch and hope it will clear it up. By the way, any one have an old but working original speaker that will fit my beetle so i can hear the original radio i just put in my car today............Rob

Thanks Brian, i will not be able to come get it till saturday or suday. I will give ya an email in a couple days to see what is a good time for you. If i can i will drive " Roadkill " ( my bugs existing name ). Thanks again...Rob
