Any guess what happened to my beetle engine?
Rebuilt the engine this spring, here is the link: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/542626-72-vw-beetle-engine-rebuild.html and my daughter has been driving it all summer, its been running great, no problems. She calls me last night and is pulled off the road, she said it revved up real fast and the gas peddle was to the floor and it would not stop. Got to the car and the return spring on the carb broke so it was wide open. I don't know how quick she shut it down but I don't think it was fast enough because when I drove it home it didn't sound that bad just a loud popping like an exhaust leak and a bad miss. All the valve springs are fine (quick check) but now it does not turn over by hand, something is hitting inside? Will pull it today and crack it open. What do you think? broken rod maybe? no oil leaks so nothing went through the case at least! Will post pics tonight! So what do you think I will find inside?
