Well that's that fixed then. :D

Tighten the pinch bolt.

Try starting in the morning, it may be a bit reluctant.

Set the timing at 5 or 6 degrees BTDC.

Remember that 0 degrees is at about 11 'o clock.
Do this at your friendly VW matey.

Mark the position with tippex or a scratch.

Run the thing for a bit, if its a bit valvy you may have to tweak the timing to 7 1/2 degrees btdc, (its the new petrol)

Go for your weekend. Have fun.

Then go to a homebrew shop:

1 tin Fisons muntona best bitter, or equivalent.
1 tin malt (same size)
