Mark, This is where I stand. In my number one cylinder,, the magnitor is firing (sending a spark in the exhaust phase. When the air is coming out. Million dollar question is 1. Where is top dead center? Is there a marking for it? 2. How do I adjust the mag to fire in the compression at 28 degree

I should also mention that there is only one firing order for a normal VW type 1 engine, and that's 1-4-3-2. For some reason, the GPASC manual has 1-4-3-2 for distributor ignition, and 1-2-3-4 for magneto.  I have no idea what Steve was thinking when he put this in his manual, unless the magnet

In other word. It it times to Number ONE cylinder on compression stroke. Sound like it’s 180 deg out. Really difficult to fix via email. Surely you know a local mechanic Phil. Sent from my iPhoneOn 29 May 2023, at 07:41, Kevin Stolhammer via KRnet wrote:I'm only telling you how I got it wrong.  I

I wrote "Top Dead Cylinder". Duhmake that "Top Dead Center" for the cylinder being evaluated.  A short circuit in what's left of my brain, I assume. As for carburetors, I wish you luck with the POSa.  "Controlled leak" is being charitable.   My advise would be to buy something else.  Those

I'm only telling you how I got it wrong. I got confused by using several resource manuals, and wound up setting valve clearances using 1234, while my 09 ignition fires 1432. Still had compression on individual cylinders, and had spark at each plug, just not at the correct time. It would pop and

Still have not got my HAPI engine with a POSA throttle body and Slick 4216 magneto started. These are the facts as I have them right now. 1. Compression of the cylinders indicates that the engine is good. a. FL 125 b. RL 110 c. FR 125 d. RR 115 2. Spark is
