ok i just want to confirm this question ok, coz im just begining to think what the hell is going on!
ok so when u retard the timing the engine RPM whould increase right?
and when u advance the timing the engine RPM should decrease right?
im trying my best to set up my girls VW beetle but there are so many different dizzy to crank pully combinations its an absolute shambles! we brought it and it was running ok, so not knowing a thing about beetles i took it to vw shop just to check it over make sure things were ok. so anyway th guy fiddled with the timing and so i drove it away and yeah it had heeps of torque bu nothing in the top end, beetles hate RPM at the best of times , anyway i sware the thing was detonating, those old cars make a lot of little noises anyway but i sware i was.
so did some research on the wood old WWW. and found some info, so i went about setting the mixture and the timing with a timine light, yep sweet.. drove it.. ping!
hmm ok, retard the timing richen the mixture a little,....... PING! FREAK!.. reatard, richen, the mole seems like im chasing my tail, ive done away with the timing light because who knows what pully it has, u should see how many pulls with different markings on them they are, some even look the same but mean differnt! bloody germans
so i'll keep retarding and enrichening the mixture ti'll i hit a dead end i guess, just wanted to make sure i was going the right way.. i dont usually have doubts but this is just rediculous.
blaaahhh.. thanks fellas
