been messing with these vw's for nearly 20 years...last one *I* set by ear sounded great, ran great, and was way off....they run great and pretty damn peppy at 50+degrees total advance...but not for long....setting by "ear" is an emergency move to get you home to your strobe light...
ok ur twisting wut i say, i've not even messed with the timeing, noone set it b4 i got it started... SO F*CK OFF JOEY
you really are a dumbass aren't you? read your reply...... you said it....now you want to back pedal? you said "my uncle can set timing by ear"....then ">> > he's set 50 or more like that, he's FIXED wut orther mechanic have
now you f*ck off if you can't accurately communicate in a written forum....i'd guess at this point, your reading comprehension is as honed as your vw knowledge.... eat s*it, "iight"
I agree with Joey here.. by ear is a "limp home mode" :)
then Jan, you may need to "f*ck off" too.....
I agree also.... you can set it by ear.... it might appear to run good.... but when you get a strobe on it.... the timing is all screwed up...

Scotty,
I'm glad your uncle is an "expert" because you're burning bridges here. I hope you treat him better than you treat others that are trying to help out.
Good Luck! and Grow Up!
John
