NYours looks like mine did (still does a little). Use marvel mystery oil in ur motor to free it up. By pass the gas tank with a gas can and a hose..Many ppl crank their engine using the original gas tank and suck all the garbage into ur motor for.more headaches.
A 4 foot piece.of fuel line is $4. Chevys of the forties can sell u a new coil..bypass ur electrical with a three pole switch.
u can pull the head to see whats hanging that valve. Id do that before whacking it with a hammer or prying on it.
I put autolite 303 sparkplugs in mine. And new plug wires. U can do all ur volkswagon restoration tricks on checking for spark
Check ur oil dipstick to see if she still has oil
