My first air cooler (type 4) so excuse my possible ignorance, but does a normal good running type 4 sound a little clangy and tappy until you rev her up a bit? Have the timing set and good plugs Also adjusted the valves. Just wanted to know if things are normal or maybe I have big problems. Thanks

Belated welcome, and as you found out this is a great group of people here. Your car sounds normal to me as well, and when I first got my 1973 with a rebuilt 1.7 I freaked out over the start up noise and it turns out it was just the hydraulic lifters needing to do their thing.
Getting it to a cars and coffee so more experienced owners can take a listen would be highly recommended, but you’re probably just fine. Enjoy the car and don’t forget that we love pictures around here. |
