[Vwdiesel] re-ring done, but no start

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  Is your pump 180 off?  That's easy to do.  If you bent any valves it won't 
crank over right (sound).  It'll sound more steady rather than the regular 
cranking/pulsing sound you're used to.  Double check your marks, TDC, 
cam slot parallel with #1 lobes uppish, groove on inner rim of pump 
pulley up, and cold start knob IN when you set the pump timing.
  Make sure when the cold start knob is in that the cable is slack enough 
to allow the lever on the pump to go all the way seated.  Have someone 
crank while watching the clear fuel supply line for bubbles.  That was a 
majority of Milton's problem recently, I think.  It can take a minute or 
two's worth of cranking to clear the air and get it going sometimes.
