Well they just dropped off a 79 Beetle Convertible in my driveway. This was my wife's car when she was in high school about 20 years ago. It hasn't been started in 7 years, and had been garaged out west (I'm in the northeast.) I put a new battery in this morning and it fired up on the 2nd try, ran for about 20 seconds and sputtered out. Does this repeatedly. I should have thought first and siphoned out the old gas and put new fuel in... oh well. I'm a newbie to this, but am sorta handy with tools, in other words... I'm doomed...
Any advice before the summer comes and goes with me in the garage?
