[QUOTE="VWAIRCOOLED, post: 115854, member: 1172"] It's hard to say without seeing the problem first hand,try disconnecting a ht lead one at a time from the dizzy cap with the engine running to see if the engine speed drops,if it does then that cylinder is ok.If the speed stays the same you have a cylinder problem,possibly exhaust valve burnt.Use two pieces of wood or insulated pliers to detach the HT lead,unless you like electric shocks. Also check the normal stuff like points gap is ok and ht leads are secure on the spark plugs valve clearances and timing (as previously mentioned) Did you leave the ignition on for a long time? It could explain a flat battery and burnt out points? [/QUOTE]
