Just bought a motor. Stock dp 1600 I think, it's was in a resto project a guy had and was running this time last year But since then it's been stitting in a barn. It turns over good and there's no endplay has the papers where it was rebuilt 3 yrs ago crank ground new bearings new jugs and pistons and heads were rebuilt. Doesn't seem like it's getting spark where would be a good place to start I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to engines but this being my first vw venture thought Id call on you alls experience to make my life easier |

Does it have points or pertronix . Cheek the points set at .016 & clean with sand paper and brake clean .And do you have power to the coil . |

Or alittle simplier way, clean the points (With the battery disconnected), put them in, set a business card in them to set your gap. And if you have power to the coil, make sure it is wired properly. - on a coil does not mean ground. Seen too many done like this. And no spark when they are wired this way. My buggy was originally points, and it set for a couple years before I got it. After cleaning the points and setting them with a business card, some fresh gas, it fired up with no problem. Great thing about these vw motors is they are SIMPLE. |
