[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions?

[mark shepherd]

Perhaps I've got the wrong end of the stick here, the problem is he cant get 
the Q to start. Having taken lines apart, only set the 'start'  back if upon 
removal, diesel drops out. As it appears to me  from the information 
provided, the lines are dry, so it will never start if lines remain so, or 
their supply orifaces. Timing plug only been out once, and only to check 
fuel getting there. If solenoid is not doing it's job then Bill'll be in his 
coffin before it starts from cranking  :o)
