I remember this light coming on in my VW diesel, and telling my wife it was low on Curly Fries.....

So, the lasso is heating up?

The elastic needs winding?

My sister, when she was young, was convinced our brother's Beetle had a windup key. That would have been the 1960s when all the dash labels were in German.

VW's attracted lots of aftermarket stuff; only some were serious. One novelty I recall was a big ol' stick on wind-up key. The performance parts [ie EMPI

] were far more effective. Amazing what a little Yankee re-engineering could wring from motors less than 2000cc's.
Seeing later posts, mainly recalling dual carb 1875's, holey moley. Tractable and those really ran.

less than 2000 cc?? I wont build one that small....waste of time and $$

You would never make it in class 11 off-road racing. 1600cc, 24mm carb...

I'd hire the guy carrying the wheelbarrow in two heartbeats. He may be dumb as a box of rocks (or he may just have a flat tire, IDK) but it's pretty obvious he'll work his ass off to get the job done. It'd be easier to teach him brain surgery than it would to teach a lazy man to work that hard.
