mk1 golf cab

[bazil]

ohhhhh early dials!!! i much prefered that dash tbh

[Riggy]

yeah early dials , and yeah ive nearly got all the foam off , doesn't look as bad as i thought ,

been trying to get it to start tonight but not had much luck , got it to spark now but just wont kick , just backfires

[brainsnova]

is the fuel pump working?

[Riggy]

well my plugs are getting wet so it must be doin something , if its enough i dont know , goin to change plugs tomorrow and see how i get on then

but the fusebox is shockin , so im not sure if thats got much of an effect , on engine .

did a compression test and got 130-170-170-170 , so its down on 1 but is that enough for it not to fire ?

[AlexW]

has it got good fuel in it? Fuel filter might be worth a shot too.

does it not fire at all?

wow what a car i did a mk1 gti when i was younger (much younger ) i have a real soft spot for these golfs looks really clean i will keep a eye on this to see how things are going

just make sure the rota arm is not the reallly old syle one where it has the cut out on it they go week and cut the dizzy out worth a check

Finally glad your getting it done though, should be schweet when finished
