I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
@TheInterSpire If you are implying it is impossible, it's not: from 64-68 the 3-forward Borg-Warner 35 automatic transmission was available as an option for Amazons, and one could have been retrofitted even if the car originally had a manual transmission.
Ive got a 66 4 door amazon.... no spark.Been working on getting spark for the last 3 months, its hell. Good luck on your project though. :D

Sounds like a bad fuel filter or its not getting fuel. Or no choke. But very nice engine. Thx.

Nice!
I've got a 67 wagon. I used to have a 68 but I sold it a few years ago.
I hope to see more vids as well.
If you look at my videos, I've got a couple of my car.
You're gonna love it.

Thats a good way to burn out your starter buddy. This video became a pumping fest though, Dave knows a lot about that :P Thanks for sharing
Peace :)

Are those Stromberg carburetors? Wow, amazing cranking on that old battery.
My dad's boat has the same engine in it.

only one carb my bad. Boat has 2.

It's a stromberg carb yes. The normal ones have one carb, but the sport model had 2.

I see. Better make sure the carb is filled with oil then :P
We had problems when the oil was low in the carbs.
Sport model must be what's in the boat then. Thanks for the info.
