Timing.
1. Check that the plug leads are in the right order. Print out a cheat sheet from the Kombi site at
http://www.aussiekombicampers.com/cheat_sheets.shtml
and use it to check that your firing order is 1-4-3-2 as indicated.
2. Recheck you static timeing.
Backfiring through the carbs usually indicates that you're firing a spark plug with the inlet valve open.

When I put our kombi motor together, I had this problem and it was just that I had the distributor 180 degrees out.
I had to take the distributor extension shaft thing out and change it 180 degrees.
Be very careful not to drop the washer in the case though. :thumb

When it happened to me, I found the quickest way to check if the shaft is 180 degrees out is to swap the leads as they are now, diagonally, or two
places around if you like.
If it runs like that, then the shaft is 180 out. You can leave it like that, but it will confuse the heck out of someone in the future.
When I swapped mine, it started and ran straight away. I then had to turn the shaft 180, and put the leads back to make it original.

I think if the cam on the shaft of the dizzy has a different lobe for no.3 to retard. (to alleviate overheating of no.3) Then you would be advised to
go back to original.
I think also being 180 out means that no.1 does not line up with the little "l" mark on the dizzy, but 180 out also.
I suppose mechanically it helps you out, because you know the motor is not a dud.
I redid the valves the next day after the motor cooled down again. I ran it for about 15 minutes when I first got it going.
Still going now 18,000 k's later.

I would check the valves again, If you did them 180 out they will be very loose.
If you have installed your dizzy drive gear 180 out in the case, the easy way to fix it is remove the round spring off the drive on the dizzy, knock
the pin out of the drive thingo and change it 180 around on the shaft, beats trying to get the dizzy drive out of the case with out dropping the
washers.

Why didnt I think of that.
I was packing it while taking the dizzy drive out, because dropping one of those washers would be an engine out job if it fell right down. Yeah?
