I know! KB has been itching. When we all get back from Germany I’m going to try and get everyone out overnight somewhere.

 

Baker was a blast! We barely slept and soaked most of the time. More bugs this time. I got eaten pretty good, but that water was HOTTT this time. So nice

Clogged idle jet. Got that all blown out and the back fire went away. Thanks for the tip Franz. This thing is running like a top👍🏼

New shift coupler. The other exploded. Now I’m going to bring the oil fill/breather out with me to reweld and paint.

The BBOE….. it is an icon in my bus camping past… One of the really good one’s!!!!  I’m glad its in a good family and being enjoyed…    Just weld that shit in and put it back together.. paint won’t help to run breath any better… 😎 😎  😎

I noticed that somebody is making a solid billet coupler on samba.com and its looks tough!. Just worried about noise. I am going to try the red urethane EMPI coupler and carry a spare lol.

Got some hose made up today for a filter setup. BBOE is now rocking a filter!! Should make it happy! Went from 5.5 to 6.5 quarts of oil! Will likely run cooler. The guy at hose supply talked me into some wacky rubber thing to put on the outside of the hose. Looks good. Anything extra to protect from the exhaust and rocks will be a good thing

Welp…. not a frozen shift rod! Stuck in second. Kb Tried to drive it down to the shop in 2nd so I could work on it there. Popped out of second part way down to the shop and then didn’t like going into second. So he shifted 1-3 the rest of the way. In the parking lot he lost all gears… so… time to pull this tranny! Fun fun!

Might just be a bent hockey stick. Had a similar issue in a ’67 bus I owned 15 years ago.

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.
