Decided to adjust the valves and change the oil even though it's been way less than 3000 miles.

Re: 74 Beetle
Glenn, there's only one person here with the power to ban... I understand he would never ban for penis pictures...Now, you pull that vagina monkey shit here and I can't - uh, he can't - be held responsible!
As for the spandex- I never wore it either on my LeMond or my Harley...
But more to the point.
Your beetle has more miles this year than mine! LOL

Re: 74 Beetle
Back on the road and already embarrassed a guy in a Challenger.
After getting oil pressure and filling the carbs... it started right up. I dropped the tire pressure from being over inflated to prevent flat spots and check the lights. Then it was ready for its first ride of the season. It was like i drove it yesterday, everything worked.
