Simple diagram of 2 litre air-cooled engine

Post by **ossian72** » 26 Jan 2017, 23:41

I cannot seem to find a basic diagram of a CU engine (or not one simplistic enough for me). Can anyone point me to one - ideally clearly labeled so I can figure out what it what. Total beginner...
Many thanks

VW parts diagrams are good

Do you have a Haynes manual ? The green version is for Aircooled.

Also if you go onto YouTube, you will find useful air cooled engine rebuild videos from our club member Sarran1955 (type his name in). Lots of useful stuff there.

Its basically a bigger Beetle engine with the fan housing removed and squashed down to make it more compact. Whilst it may have two carbs, its actually one carb, split into two.

Hello,

Just to join in the fun...

I think what we're trying to say here...is:

its a volksy Aircooled....elegant yes..

rocket science...no...

Cordialement,

After one of the Syncro mob posted about the Snow Trac he'd just acquired, I have gained a new-found appreciation of the merits of the VW Aircooled flat four.

Check it out. Freaking awesome IMO..

(PS. There's even a Porsche version.. I kid you not.)

Thanks guys

And good to know it's not rocket science, cos I'm no rocket scientist!
I was obviously pulling a sickie the week they taught all this !!! so am really starting from a knowledge base of ZERO. So thanks for your patience.
Cheers

We all do, no apology required

Also there are no stupid questions, just us lot with a few stupid answers!
Don't be afraid to ask, it's what the forum is here for, and always a pleasure to be of help.
