I have 1976 golf ls (australian made) 1600 carby.
the battery was drained by letting the electrics on.
so i had the car jumped with other battery and it was fine.
and now i have other problem with starting..
the car is cranking but won't start..
so i went to mechanic and he checked the spark leads and he says theres sparks from
coil but no sparks from dizzy.. check the point.
and he said dizzy failure. need to replace the whole dizzy

I wouldn't say I'm an expert but defo check spark plugs,leads,dizzy cap,rotor arm and the ignition points in the distributor the ignition system basically before a dizzy as the cost for you would be far greater
