Starter is brand new, so is generator. It turns over fine.My 1968 vw baja bug stalls and wont start till jump started?Sounds like, new generator or not, you have a battery or a coil problem (I vote with the battery).
Turn on the headlights and try to crank the car. If the lights just dim a bit, the battery is ok.. if they go out or dim way down, the battery is weak.
If it is weak it either is a bad battery or you have something using power (or a partial short). You can get the battery tested for free at most Auto Parts places (Pep Boys, O'Riely, etc..)
.My 1968 vw baja bug stalls and wont start till jump started?the battery may be shorted...
jump-start it and unplug the battery if it dies the alternator may be bad if it stays on check the voltage at the battery by itself...it should be in the high 12v (12.5 to 12.9) if is 12 or less replace it..
