If everything else was working this should not be hard to get started, but once you get it running be aware that you need to time it according to the special 72 instructions in the Bentley. Nobody else gets it right. You should verify that the FI is alive and well. Does the pump run? Do you hear the 2 clicks when you turn the key ON? Can you hear a series of clicks in the engine compartment when you push the throttle down with the key ON? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
