Bart Wineland ----- sit back and Relax have a glass of Wine.
If you think Loren or the rest of us are going to let you slip out the back door
without that engine --just a hummin ? NOT a chance.
The spirit ? ---you do not think it counts ? ---the right mindset is more important
than ten years of diesel school. (more on that some other time )
Lets recap --- this is not your only wheel ? --RIGHT ?
Good ----The engine is a 1.6 L NA VW give us the specks again.(and letter)
First and foremost ---did you do the feeler test on piston # 1. ?
Second did you line up ALL the marks ? ----- ALL THE MARKS.
There are 6 teeth between pump keyway and timing mark on sprocket
to the left . Make sure keyway is intact.
Do NOT use dial indicator for this test. ---ONLY timing marks.
Make sure you have the special wrenches (home made DIY stuff) for adjusting
fueling screw and idle screw.
Why NOT use dial ? I shall explain later. ------Get her running good and let us know.
After she runs good we will give her the no smoke job.And peptalk.
I like JOKES --and things like horse whispering ? can you whisper to a Rabbit ?
----try me ---- First I put this big sledgehammer there ---then I leaned real close and whispered
------ my friend Paul was watching ---after she came to life with a roar then a hummmmm.
He said what did you say to her ? ----I said if you do not start right NOW ---you are
headed for the fuddle duddle arc furnace.
Magic and praying and rituals do not work ? ---are you SURE ?-
I have the sweetest running smoothest non smoking Rabbit -----as proof.
20 years old and getting 78 miles to a gallon Imp. And a lot of the credit goes to this
place. -----would I ever give up ? ---NOT a chance. You shall see-- the more
hardship to get there the sweeter the Winegrapes.----Besides you will have some
good beerparlour story.
The sun is hitting my screen right now so I must go ---hard to read things.
Hagar.
