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.
