She starting again! -* Sorted *-
There is fuel, the carb drips fuel in..
There is no air restriction…
Checked all 4 spark plugs with their leads for spark, it is okay.
Timing is still right.
WTF can it be???
If i try to start it it just spins and ocasionally makes a pop out the carb…
Please help, this is my daily drive and I need to get it started to get it at my mechie!!!

It might be the mixture is well out, but I'd be checking other stuff first.

The timing seems right
Is it timed at TDC on no 1 cylinder?
Is it timed 180 degrees out?
Are the spark plug leads on the correct connections on the dizzy?
Are the points gapped properly?

What do you mean timed 180 degrees out?
Spark plug leads on correct connections
Point gaps are 100%

on my dads 16v mk2 (yeah i know no points no carb etc etc) he had exactly the same problem. It was the distributor. He ordered a brand new one from VW and it spent another 8 weeks in the mechanics, when an auto electrician found that the new dizzy was faulty.
So might be the dizzy, and have you changed it atall?
