Start by clipping an inductive timing light to a spark plug wire. This will tell you whether you have spark. Or you can plug a SP wire onto a spare spark plug and watch to see if there is a spark. If you do, verify that it is occuring at the right time. If the spark is there, suspect the gas. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
