[QUOTE="70-CA-Panel, post: 632514, member: 18591"] Hi Max, Welcome to Earlybay 🍻 Nice looking Westy! Does the starter turn the engine over? If not it could be the ignition or starter solonoid. If it does then check all spark leads are connected especially from coil to distributor, any electrical connections come loose (fuel cut off solo lid on carb). I’d also check your coil spark, timing spark at TDC and see if the carburettor is getting fuel. It’s worthwhile getting a copy of John Muirs Idiots guide book for VWs if nothing else it’s a good introduction and it’s good reading. Good luck and let us know how you get on. Cheers Andy [/QUOTE]
