We are not meant to have too much fun

But someone has a sense of humor over our absolute need to do things right before we can really progress.
See the problem - lead back to the carby is off

The VW gift wouldn't get me home from the CLC the other day - its only about 700metres and over a little hill . Sounded very much like valve burn out as number 3 plug lead removal made no difference to its half dying rattle .
Eventually we did a compression test; it confirmed what i knew - she was pretty worn .
However the great thing was that all four had nearly 100 on - so no valve burn .After resetting the valves ( which were a little too close ) i found the fault
That silly looking advance lead had broken .

36 years of faithful service, and it just broke . Oh how pleased i was i had learnt not to push it as we did on the old Combi camping trip over 30years ago on our trip home from Adelaide - parked out back of the farm (thanks to church folk for some respite) while an engineering firm in Mt Gambier welded those brilliant but sensitive heads .
VW owners beware - they are a simple motor, but check that timing centre straight away if she's not pulling right!
