Curious you say don't move the engine when the dizzy is out.
I did just that. How do you know that it sits down in the right place.
I have a 2lt, bus. Very few posts using buried bus motor.
It's been off service for two months.
I'm almost done. Cannot find a local vw mobile mech.
Brisbane has two only repair shops, one never answers there ph.
Anyway need assistance in getting dizzy correct timing seems correct, used static time from J Muir's book.
Any help greatfully appreciated.
Hello my friend
One thing bugging me,
You set your timing at TDC to start the engine I've seen you then move it to 32 degrees before DTC.
What's the point of setting up the first part of the timing.
That my bug won't start after I've moved it to total advanced timing.
Have to move it but to TDC to start again.???
Hehehe back for the 3rd time every time i watch the video while doing timing hehehe
Hi Slade, I am getting a 10 degrees delay before the router arm moves when tuning the pulley wheel, is that normal.
Thanks
Is anyone going to commit on the booty posters? LOL
I don’t know how it’s taken me so long but I’ve just come across your videos. I’ve owned my bug for about 5 years since I was 24. I want to learn how to work on the car for myself, it’s all pretty daunting. Your videos are by far the best at explaining things that I’ve come across. You make me believe it’s all achievable which I really needed. Do you have a video on how to do the timing with the motor running? Thanks so much for the vids!
Hoping you can help me we're trying to do static time we have electronic ignition when I hook it up and touch light to motor the light comes on. Not sure whats happening
SUBSCRIBING!!!
My pulley only has 1 notch its a 71 how do u know if that’s the tDC mark. What I could find online says that’s the btdc mark.
Hello! The engine of my vw 1302 L runs only with 3 cylinders , the spark plug on cylinder one has spark but the spark plug is clean .
I think that if it was working , the spark plug it will be dirty as the others..
Do you think that i have a serious problem,stucked valves etc?
Thank you in advance!
hello im trying to do my static timing but my test light is on continually, its plug into the negative but as soon as i ground it the light is always on.
my 71 super beetle ignition acting up. It turns and start the engine, but it will not shut it down even when I take the keys out. I have to go to the engine and pull out distributor wire. What is wrong? Thank you
Swapped 009 for svda and now won’t run at all…lol
Dis you ever do a video on the 09 I think that what I have . 73 AK 1432 my distributor has a vacuum adv. Notch points to #1 at TDC but rotor points more to back does run but not well just need to know if it's timed right is it supposed to be that way with rotor pointing towards back?
Do you have timing light video
Don't you pinch off the vacuum line when setting with a timing light?
Great teachings ! Thanx so much for making these videos !!
I have a question about turning the motor,I currently have a 1600 on my bench and I know bout the dizzy being in before turning the motor,but the crank moved about 1/2" as I was shuffling the motor around the table,before the dizzy was in,do you think I caused any damage? Or does it have to have more of a turn to cause damage?
hi loved the video i have a 71 cross over t2 bay do i set it up in the same way spark plugs keep sooting up running rich and lumpy cheers baz
What does full advance do? I advanced mine and it runs so much better/ smooth and more power. Is it safe to run full advance in the winter and not in the summer? Is there any dangers? I have a stock distributor on my 72
so how do you know that you are on TDC #1 if the gear is 180* out ?
Awesome video! Many thanks. Cheers from Sweden
Hey man so got a question for ya It My bug Idles 100% perfectly. I can rev as high as I want, all the power is there when its in neutral, sounds great. But as soon as I get into first and try to take off, it sputters and jumps and doesn't want to run smooth. The fuel line is clear (tested by a mouthful of disgusting gas). The spark plug wires are all tight. I'm just really not sure whats wrong. Any suggestions
LOVE THE BUG!!!!
Wow Thanks! I just picked up the same gun and tester. I'm really glad you posted this! Now it makes sense why my 009 is so much different from my vacuum advance distributor. I got frustrated, and popped the 009 back in, just because need my car running perfect this week. Once I'm done with my event, I'll revisit the install. Great video Slade!
thanks for this. you jogged my memory and it runs perfect.
