Javier,

Don't feel bad. I'm Polish and they don't answer some of my questions,
either!  Kidding, really.  If they know the answer, they'll help.

The only info I could find is that 1.9L engines are timed at 5 degrees BTDC
(Before Top Dead Center).  Bentley does not specify different timing for
carbureted models, but they don't have any info about the carburetors
either.  I am running my fuel injected at about 5 degrees ATDC with no
problems.  I don't have any other carburetor-specific info.  If you are
looking for  a replacement carburetor, or manifold, I have one.  Matter of
fact, I have the whole engine with hoses.

Chris.

  Subject: What`s wrong/ Foreign member?

  Hi all:

  I would like to know what is wrong with my question not being answered; I
know the list is for Vanagon subjects and mine is (correct timing setup for
my 84 Carburated Westy); by far much into the subject than Sears` and Bozo`s
threads which; so far, exceed 50 messages.

  That is why I want to ask what is wrong with me; do I have to ask in other
terms?; talk only about non-related Vanagon things?; or just be quiet as a
foreign member in the list?

  If I`m asking about the timing is because I need it; have been traveling
to the Highlands and need to have some extra power like had last year before
the tune-up.

  Any advise will be appreciated

  Javier Zavala
