Check to make sure the distributor is inserted ALL the way into the case. If it is not, then there's some chance that the drive gear is not all the way in. Then remove the pump and pull out the push rod. Make sure to do this whlle holding the bakelite support/spacer piece in place. If you try to take the spacer and rod out at the same time, there is a significant chance of the rod slipping sideways and falling into the case. This would usually require complete disassembly of the engine to retrieve it. Once the push rod is out, pull out the spacer. Is it intact, or has it broken? Is the pushrod a smooth slip fit in the spacer? Are the pushrod ends in good condition? -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
