Timing how?
Guys,
I am relitivly new to VW's (always been a rotor boy BUT) I feel in love with the offroading side of the VW now I just chuck the 1500 back into the
baja and added one of those alloy power pulleys and a 009 dizzy.
My question how is the best way to time them and my dizzy cap has no 1.2.3.4 lead place ment.
Help
thanks

The dizzy doesn't need marks - what you do is take off the dizzy cap and hand crank the engine to TDC on #1. Normally this will be where the rotor
button is pointing towards the V belt, but check both valves on #1 are closed and the rocker "free" to be sure. Then put the #1 lead in the spot
closest to the pointy bit of the rotor - a lot of dizzy's have a line scribed in the casing here too. Now working anti-clockwise you then put in #2,
#3 and #4 into the cap in that order.
Setting the timing statically is the normal way of doing things, and it's pretty simple:
- take the dizzy cap off
- hand crank the engine to 7.5 degrees BTDC on #1 by lining the mark up with the crank case directly above the pulley (I hope your power pulley has
degree markings on it)
- set your point gap, usually about 16 thou
- loosen the dizzy and rotate it clockwise so the points are closed
- with the ignition on SLOWLY rotate back anti-clockwise until you get the spark jump across the points
- tighten the dizzy back up and your done.
If you've got a timing light, timing it dynamically is probably the go - about 31-32 deg at 3000rpm is about right I think.

Cool thanks sides.
Got it running, Humm no gap on the exhaust valves better fix that.
I will do it with a timing light tonight as I have an electronic modual in the 009
so about 31-32 deg at 3000 rpm can do
Thanks

Hi
Just to confuse you, I do the firing order backwards, which is 1 2 3 4 , much easier to remember.

I must say after years of doing the static timing that the advance timing light that I bought has made setting the maximum advance with confidence
such a quick and easy process it makes me smile

hell yes it was easy timing light on set at 31deg at 3000rpm, makes a difference to the running of the engine.
