I need to start my VW Type 1 engine (aircraft) by hand cranking. It is equipped with a 35 & 1 coding wheel and four LS type ignition coils.
There are provisions for priming before cranking. My problem is to get a spark after approximately 90 degrees of revolution. (9 teeth before missing tooth)
The decoding code software is a little dense for me to effectively modify. If one could guide me through that, it would be a great help.
Alternatively during cranking I could use accessory hardware to fire the pairs of cylinders at the appropriate angle (TDC 1&3 4&2)- then disable the circuit when running.
Your help and opinions will be greatly appreciated.
