How do you replace an accelerator cable on a 1970 VW bus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Remove the splash pan (under front of bus). Remove the remains of the old cable, take a look at how it's connected to the carb. Rub graphite lube (or whatever you like) and push the new cable through the tube the old cable came out of. You push the new cable from the front of the bus to the back and it will emerge in the vicinity of the carb. Go inside the bus and wedge the pedal in the full back (up) position. Thread the "s" shaped hook through the hole in the bottom of the pedal mechanism below the bus. In the engine compartment, pull the cable end through the lead plug that fits into the carbs throttle..put just a little preload against the spring and squeeze the lead around the cable (not too tight just yet). Get back in the cab and gently feel if you have enough travel. If it feels okay, go back and tightly squeeze the lead end connector. Like most jobs, this is easier if someone helps you by holding up the pedal and observing the travel of the the carb, but sometimes it's just you and the bus!

Does a vintage VW bus float?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Theoretically, yes...as the entire undercarriage is a "sealed" structure. That said, it won't float long, as it is pretty heavy and the seals around the bottom of the front doors are sure to fail and allow water in quickly.

Oh...please don't do this. Just give me your bus if you want rid of it.

You remove the little bolt under the seat in the middle and then you slide the seat forward and lift at the same time. It should come off unless it is rusted in place, the you spray rust remover all over. Ron

Why is The generator light on in a VW bus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are three reasons: the belt broke (most likely), the alternator went out or the voltage regulator went out. If you have a pre-1972 Bus, the belt drives the engine cooling fan so get off the road and shut down immediately if the light goes on.

Why won't your 76 vw start It's been sitting outside a while whilst you wait for a part to pass the MOT you have charged the battery but on re-fitting it the bus still doesn't start?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

well for starters if you set the battery directly on the ground that will immediatly kill/drain the battery of all its juice. if you charged it and put it back in and still nothing your battery could be dead. if you turn the key and you hear kind of like a winding sound like something is spinning then hold the key down for a good 10 seconds, turn it all the way back to the off position and try it again if nothing happens then it could be your spark plugs. you can pull those and clean'em up a bit. re-gap them with a feeler gauge if need be spray a little dw-40 on them put them back in, make sure all the wires are put back on properly and try it again.

a good book to have is john muirs "how to keep your VW alive" in my opinion its the holy bible of VW books.

you can go to an old bookstore and probly pick one up for about $10
