[QUOTE="Rich, post: 265364, member: 15694"] Me too.. weird thing though, the plug leads on the distributor were all out of position. Checked, and at TDC the rotor arm was 180 degrees off when no1 cylinder valves were closed (this [url=http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/htm/eng_strt.htm]guide[/url] was useful) so figured something in the distributor was off. Taking it off revealed that the bit at the bottom that fits into the groove (name?) was on backwards, so it was throwing the whole distributor out by 180 degrees. Swapped for another distributor and it was all ok. Oh yeah, then we had awful hassles with getting a spark, and it turned out to be a knackered coil lead, started straight away once that was replaced. Now we're at the stage of tuning the Weber 44s...
