Unfavorable weather

The climate today is not favourable and temperature out side in Osaka is below 15 centigrade also this week ends are negative, because #14 typhoon is comming across to Japan main land and going up along northward, so working may be difficult on comming holidays, cold and chilly,rainy and windy.

Gathering some informations, good Italian restaurant were found out in Ako at the most western area in Hyogo pref, so that would be for lunch and Kakiokonomi in Hinase near Akoh are the better planning with consideration including economical factor. These planning would be performed with another family together.

I'm confused on setting of ignition timing because of complicated informations in Web site. There are three types of distributors according to the generations, single vacum advance, double vaccum advance and fully centrifugal advance without any vaccum advance.

The rate of ignition timing advance differs promptly, single is 10 degree on BTDC, double is 7,5 BTDC and centrifugal only called 009 type is 5 degree ATDC while at idle speed 800-900 rpm, here BTDC means Before Top Dead Center of piston's position and ATDC does After Top Dead Center, but 28-30 degree advance at normal octane gasoline and 30-32 degree advance at hi octane gasoline are performed at full advanced condtion in any case.

Ploblem causes at idle speed if different distributer were invited on different motor and ill ignition timing were set by mistake. Also valve clearance and contact point gap are essentials to affect the timing setting on carburator adjusting. I must get accustomed to this motor VW AD11 and another control mechanical system at any rate, I'll do that!

Description in the evening:

Disassembling the upper body of mechanical fuel pump on VW 1302 Super Beetle proved some breaking of the diaphragm. After a negotiation with the professional person, I determined to change the fuel pump into more reliable Japanese electric pump, MITSUBA FP-323 model costing as much as 13,900 yen. The hole after removing mechanical pump must be sealed by any means, but re-setting of original pump must be prepared.

Without paying any attentions I pulled some small air hose, the origin of the line was lost, so re-checking is necessary.

Side window regulator handle was easy to remove, next step is to remove the inner door pannel for ｌubrication into regulator construction.

The problems appears unlimitedly one by one without depletion as expected.
