I think he has a complete Accuspark distributor with the cap off and the rotor arm fitted but he can’t get the distributor body with the O-ring down far enough to locate it in the drive. If it’s not lined up hitting it won’t help but if he removes the body O-ring he should be able to easily push down and turn it to locate the drive.
Right got the dizzy in used plenty of lube next problem is on first turnover we had a loud backfire! Im guessing the firing order is wrong on the dizzy here’s a photo with the pen pointing to plug 1 on the dizzy !
Right got the firing order sorted and she is starting first time! Once started it’s not ticking over quite the opposite really . What do I do next
Got a strobe?.. adjust the timing with the vac hose off to 28 at 3000 revs ..in most cases.. assuming valves are already set...when it was cold . then head over to carb tuning Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
What I would do now is look at you tube for visual of others sorting the timing . It's easier to watch than have someone write it down on here . Or buy a service book . Where are you maybe someone could call in from on here
So before the dizzy went in I refit my carbs they have been reconditioned ( gower & lee ) . When it starts now it’s running at high revs straight away , is there some adjustments I need to do before I attempt the timing
Try.. https://itinerant-air-cooled.com/viewtopic.php?t=7767 Or http://www.vw-resource.com/34pict3.html Or https://www.ratwell.com/technical/DualCarbs.html Hopfully your carb builders did the initial gap setting of the butterfly valves so you can skip some of them but they'll give you a good idea of the overall system..

... if the high revs carry on after chokes come off probable idle air volume ...big screw top left carb needs closing down a bit... but could be one of many adjustments as they're all inter-linked Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
