Start with the basics. Check the dwell and timing, including the advance mechanisms (you didn't mention what year, etc you have so we can't be more specific) check the valve adjustment, check the charging system regulating voltage. These things don't just take care of themselves; you have to learn enough about them to figure them out for yourselves, or find someone in your area who is willing to help you. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
