I have a vw sandrail that won't start, there is no spark to the distributor, need wiring procedures?

Would like the the correct order of wiring from the battery to the starter to the coil to the distributor, etc. Which wires go where?I have a vw sandrail that won't start, there is no spark to the distributor, need wiring procedures?Big red off battery to the starter lug --small red off big lug to Voltage regulator- Small lug off starter to key switch. other small lug off starter to (+) side of coil.



Ignition wire from key switch to (+) side of coil. Back up lite also. Then there is the electrode jet and choke there too.



The coil ground goes to the distributor.



Test with trouble lite and spark tester (make one from old spark plug and clamp off old battery charger tied together with a hose clamp.)



First turn on the key and see if the coil power lights up- if not fix it.



Next take the center coil wire off the dist and hook to spark tester and spin the engine over with a wrench- Spark? no -do the points/condenser..



Yes- spark- replace cap and rotor.



Now spark test a spark plug. No spark? replace ignition wires (solid core)



Still no start- spray some fuel down the carb-start? well wasn't your ignition at all/



Still no start? do compression test- you may not have anything to work with.I have a vw sandrail that won't start, there is no spark to the distributor, need wiring procedures?http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info鈥?/a>I have a vw sandrail that won't start, there is no spark to the distributor, need wiring procedures?Check the gap on the points.Take a meter to the condenser to make sure it is not dead.
