How do you rebuild the CARBURETOR on a suzuki intruder vs700?
Rebuild kit should come with instructions
Motorcycle carb rebuild kits do not come with instructions.
You should have the service manual for your bike, which covers carburetor removal, dis assembly, reassembly, and re installation. Rebuilding is essentially taking it apart, being very careful to keep everything in order, cleaning everything good, and re assembling. If
you want to install a rebuild kit, just put the part from the kit where it came out of your carb once it's cleaned.

How do you bypass ac pressure switch on vw beetle?
First find the low pressure switch, disconnect the electrical connection, use a test lead and touch it to the two terminals. You can use a paper clip, but be sure to not let it touch any metal or you can cause electric problems or blow a fuse. When the curcuit is commplet the a/c unit should start to pump, allowing you to recharge the system. Beetles are low presure systems from 15 to30 pound max. ignore the color codes on most DIY chsring systems.
How do you replace the window scrapers on a 1973 Super Beetle?
The scrappers are attached to the chrome trim as a single unit. You'll need to remove the door panel, detach the window itself so it can sit low in the door and out of the way, remove the vent window and at least pull loose a portion of the felt trim at the top. Under the section of felt trim at the top, next to the vent assembly, is a screw for the vent window unit. Another bolt under the door panel is removed and you can take the whole vent assembly out. If you're going to replace the vent window rubber you'll have to drill out the rivet at the top hinge, no way around it.
That's the short / nice readers digest version. That chrome piece with the attached scrappers is very easy to damage and you have to employ a bit o' artistry getting it in correctly. Search on the net for the procedure. It's a huge pita and if you're going to do the scrappers then might as well go ahead and replace the felt / rubber too. Be sure to get new fasteners for all the trim / felt as the old ones will most likely be too rusted to use. Sorry but you're in for some work.
Where can you find your engine code on your vw beetle?

What oil for 1776 engine VW beetle?
My favorite VW oil is 30-weight Shell Rotella T, which is made for old-fashioned hot-running diesels. Our cars are also old-fashioned and hot-running, so it works well.
If you can't get that, just about any quality 10W30 works great.

Broken water pump, or stuffed cooling system, or some valve not opening for heater. If its done around 100k i would go for cambelt and water pump change. It s a common fault on year 2000+ VW. Waterpump blades made of plastic and after around 80k usually it falling aparts.
Can you findout if your 1974 beetle is super beetle from the vin number?
Yes. Look at the first three digits:
114: Standard Beetle
134: Super Beetle
There are five other ways to tell.
a. Windshield.
Flat windshield: Standard Beetle
Curved windshield: Super Beetle
b. Dashboard.
Dashboard made of steel, flat and straight up-and-down below the windshield: Standard Beetle
Padded dashboard that looks a little like one from a modern car: Super Beetle
c. Front shocks.
Just the shock: Standard Beetle
Shock inside huge coil spring: Super Beetle
d. Front apron - the piece of sheet metal below the front lip of the trunk lid
No vent slots: Standard Beetle
Vent slots: Super Beetle
(Having said that, when Supers were still being made, some of the aftermarket body-parts companies made slot-free Super Beetle aprons. Since the slots don't do anything anyway, why not?)

Spare tire lying flat in a tire well: Super Beetle
