Subject:Timing 1.9,2.1 engines

I've been timing air-cooled motors for years and just recently aquired an
'85 transporter and '90 carat. The '85 runs strong but idle hunts. I've
replaced ground connectors and checked for leaks and I'm in the process of
investigating the idle stabilizer. On the '90, I just completed a top end
rebuild, heads, pistons-rings, cylnders. Spec compression on both
machines. I've got a bentley and I've combed the net for tips on timing
and I'm still having trouble. I'm finding confusing info on whether or not
to disconnect the temp sender(s) and/or other devices. Whats the deal?
thanks
