Yeah, as others have said, an oil flush, change and filter would be a priority, but I heard no reference made to that in the video. I hope it happened. Twisting the distributor back on forth in hopes of finding the correct timing is tempting (I've been there) but ultimately not a good strategy. In CT's defense, it is true that a lot new parts are really bad right out of the box. I was on the phone today with a parts supplier that sold me a courtesy light switch for my old T-Bird that literally worked 10 seconds before breaking. Recommendation for the VW: Flush and change the oil...then change it again after the engine has run about 20 minutes (seriously.)

@@TheCanine2 Correct. Also to add, cars of this era were designed to be rebuilt, meaning that replacement parts are lower quality than factory. Learning how to correctly clean and rebuild these air cooled engines is really the keys to the kingdom. For example those plugs were filthy, but, they did look like new factory units, clean, test, and reinstall. Modern cars now, 80% of the time plugs are burned/worn out so we just replace them. But it's a different era. So these VWs are nearly free if you do it right.

You lack a sensitivity in timing, carb setting-choke and low rpm sounds of a motor that is wrong timing and putting all that fuel in there and flooding it was just terrible. Less fuel and more frequent squirts next time boys. You can tell by the motor sound the timing is not close at first and no gas combined for failure to start. Loved that part telling her that the key would return automatically and to quit keying the started once it fired. Are you any good with Diesel motors? Let me guess?

I can never understand why folk rotate the distributor back and forth whilst cranking the engine over. The ignition timing needs to be set as task one. This is easy enough if you find the timing marks on the crank pulley. Once that is aligned correctly as per the maintenance manual, you set the contactor points gaps with feeler gauge. Again the gap you need is quoted in the maintenance manual. The heel of the cam in the distributor will push the points open as it travels around. It’s at that stage once the points gap is set that you rotate the distributor against the normal rotation of the distributor so that the points just start to open. You can test when that happens with a multi meter. The meter can be connected between ground and the small cable from the points. That cable needs to come off the coil temporarily whilst you make this measurement via the resistance (continuity) setting on the meter. The setting of the timing using this method will be almost perfect for a VW engine. You will then get spark at the right moment and for the correct duration (dwell angle). The contactor points are renowned furring up on VWs when left for quite some time. Also the wearable heel on the points will wear down and slowly close the gap over time. That’s why these engines needed attention every couple of months to make sure they kept within tuneable limits. The engine would have fired first go if the timing had been set up correctly !.....everything else is “poke and hope” or something copied off another chance it KZbin video !...

There's nothing worse than a plug which is too long(carbon blob on the end jamming threads) or a plug which brings the threads out with it. I do have the required thread repair kits but it's a hassle to mess about with .Also,before spending money on a sleeping engine, crank it over without plugs to see if it has oil presssure and enough compression to fire it. missing either of those and it's a waste of time.

@soilmanted4 жыл бұрын
You don't need a timing light. It's "static timed." You just need a 12 volt light bulb with wires soldered to it, one wire to ground and the other to where the 12 volt output voltage from the points can be measured, when the points close. There is a mark on the crankshaft pulley indicating 7 deg before TDC. A little cut is made into the pulley. There might be a second cut for 10 deg but the spec is 7. But its not going to move the car unless you have the vacuum diaphragm getting vacuum - i can see it is NOT hooked up. It willl run properly only at idle.
@INNO2224 жыл бұрын
@@soilmanted I only suggested the timing light to check for spark as he's cranking for any kind of verification that the ignition system is intact.
@soilmanted4 жыл бұрын
@@INNO222 Oh, OK. Although I would have simply removed secondary cable from the coil, at the distributor cap, and held it about 5 mm away from a ground point and looked at the length and color of the sparks, see how far a distance they will jump. Should make a nice loud "snaping" sound too. Or I might simply pull the 2 points apart to see if that will cause a spark to jump. And listen for a single snap. You might want to use a timing light to see if the vacuum advance is working or not, if the diaphragm inside it is intact and working. If its working you'll see the mark on the crankshaft move as the engine rpm increases. I forget which way the engine turns and therefore which way the mark should move. Although you could also just suck on it with a vacuum pump and see if that causes the points inside the distributor to rotate a little bit. By looking at the crankshaft pulley you won't be able to tell if teh spark is advancing the right amount unless you have degrees marked off on the crankshaft pulley and you are able to get the specs for amount of advance at various rpms. Traditionally we just set the timing with the engine off, and assume that if the diaphragm advance mechanism is advancing the correct amount, if we see that it is advancing at all. If the rubber fuel hoses are shot, and the fuel injection diaphragm in the carb is decomposing due to age, very likely the timing advance diaphragm is also decomposing due to age. Did you check around to see if you can get an electronic distributor? Possibly one where the amount of ignition advance can be adjusted for different models of air-cooled VW engines? Or just to tweak the amount of advance precisely, in order to work well with other tweaks to the engine.
@soilmanted4 жыл бұрын
I want to add that I don't remember which direction the crankshaft turns, and I think probably the lamp should go OFF when the crankshaft pulley reaches 7 deg BTDC or 10 degrees or 0 degrees, depending upon the particular distributor and the carburetor it is matched to. But my main point, that WITH a properly operating distributor all you need is a little 12v light bulb, or anything else that will tell you whether you have 12v or not, and that you can time the engine without the engine running. This assumes the vacuum advance and-or centrifugal advance are working correctly. They are not usually adjustable, so either they are advancing the correct amount, or not advancing the correct amount. Now, you COULD check if they are advancing the correct amount with a timing light attached to the secondary - at the distributor wire coming from cyl #1, if I recall correctly. You would need a spec sheet showing the expected increase in advance as the engine RPM increases, a tachometer to measure the rpm (it could be built in to the timing light unit, or separate), and a crankshaft pulley that is marked off in degrees.I can't believe how bad my memory is.

I'll try to be a bit nicer. Before you begin trying to start the engine, check compression, check voltage and ground to the coil/distributor, please don't go power tool crazy on the manifold even if you do have a towel stuffed in there. Make sure you're getting good fuel flow from the pump by using some extra hose back into the fuel canister and visually watching it. Make sure your timing is set just a tad early of TDC. Verifying fuel, air and spark before you get started makes troubleshooting a lot easier.

Interesting watching you go through the troubleshooting for this engine. For future reference, if you ever suspect the condenser again, on any points ignition system. you can simple disconnect the wire from the condenser to see if it fires. Otherwise, the condensers hardly ever shorts out, therefore disabling the system. It's function is to help keep arching down across the points as they open and close. And the whole system works via the voltage from the battery runs through the primary side of the coil to the points. The points being closed allows the build up of a magnetic field in the coil. Then when the points OPEN, it creates the spark in the secondary side of the coil connected to the spark plug. The coil is basically a transformer and increases the voltage to spark the spark plug on the secondary side of the coil. The "dwell time" is that time the points are "closed". Hope that helps a little... Keep the videos coming Thumbs Up!

Well done CT for getting her running. I was begining to think it was the fuel pump. But, I see it was the timing. Seemed like it was sucking in too much air, as when you put your hand on tha carb, it fired up. All you have to do now is get the timing set good and perhaps adjust the carb settings. I bet it will be a lot better with the original carb on it. One thing I did notice with the new distributor, there was no vacuum unit on it. Did you check the length of the dizzy shaft compared to the original ? She sounded great when running. I hope you are still on track with the van. I would hate to take the pick-up away from you ;) lol. All the best mate. I just wished my passport was up to date and I could afford to come over there and help you with the van and Karmann. :)

I am 66 years old and I have never encountered such amateurism. The distributor is adjusted by a slight rotation of a tenth of a millimeter, when the rear of the crankshaft pulley is aligned with the mark on the engine block. the center of the rotor should be on the mark on the edge of the distributor. at this time, the first cylinder is at top dead center. Platinum screw spacing is 0.40mm.
@JackSquat544 жыл бұрын
You remind me of when i was 16 and just learning about engines. It is painful to watch you struggle. Go online and study how to setup timing on a VW. Learn how to tell when no. 1 piston is on compression stroke and the distributor rotor is pointing to no. 1 wire. make sure flywheel mark is top dead center and rotate distributor with ignition on until test lamp you have hooked up to distributor, turns on. tighten up distributor. Start engine with gas pedal floored.

Hey CT, I haven’t watched the rest of the video yet, but before I do, I want to tell you why these “1st start in X years” irritate. Primary because they don’t usually point out ALL the pitfalls and preparation that must be done before even attempting such an endeavor. [[by prep, I mean; dump and replace the oil, disconnect ignition and hand turn the engine at least a few revolutions, check and adjust the valves, timing, and dwell, use a know good carb & battery, or service/rebuild the carb, new plugs & wires, cap & rotor, etc. Don’t rev it up until it warmed up and you changed the oil again.]] Failure to present that required prep will lead some, let’s say, not so sharp pencils, to damage an engine that might have had a fighting chance had ALL the prep been done. That said I’m looking forward to seeing A.) if you at least talk about the perp, and B.) if you get her running. Oh, and I love that you get out there & do it. Thanks for sharing it with us. Ok, cool. Awesome job! I think you are the first KZbinr I’ve seen detail the right way to do a “1st start in X years” video. THANK YOU!
