Golf Mk1 not starting

Post by Preshi »

Hi Gents

I have a 2005 Citi 1.4 carb. The car refuses to start. I sent the dizzy and 3 pin coil for testing, guy said it works and something could be causing the coil not to spark. When the ignition is turned on there is an initial spark, when swinging the car refuses to give a constant spark. I have deactivated the auto watch alarm but still no luck. Replaced the coil aswell. I found 2 Shurlok boxes but not sure the purpose of these. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
