Hey guys, continuing my electrics saga with the '68 beetle - thought we'd have a crack at getting it running - starter motor turns over, dizzy rotor arm spins but there was no spark. Couldn't figure out what was going on but we discovered that the coil has a positive charge on both terminals -...

Earlier today I finally fitted my new weber 32/36 carb to my 1303 s beetle. I turned the ignition on and tried to start it up and nothing happened, then the condensor wires and points wires were smoking and all stripped. Any solutions? I think i may have wired everything back up incorrectly but...

Doing my first compression test this weekend, and some advice suggests disconnecting the wire from the coil to the distributor, but only one (Rob and Dave) suggest grounding it. Grounding it seems to make sense to me - I don't really want sparks flying about (surely the open cyliners will be...

Hi everyone, this is my first post! Have been using these forums for a long time but have never put up a post myself. I have a 1972 T2 bay window. The problem i am having is that she keeps cutting out on me. The engine is only 2 years old (one of the imported brand new ones 1641) I have been...

`72 beetle 1300 running a 1600cc engine. Driving home last night and the car just dies on me - engine, radio, indicators all not working now and I don't get any lights in the speedo (illumination, oil, generator). Starter turns but ignition won't fire. I looked in the engine bay and the wire...
