Re: 1984 vw vanagon camper won't start

If you've got

1.  Fuel
2.  Air
3.  Spark

AND

4.  Timing correctly set

then it should fire.

Take out the air filter and see if it will start, you may have restricted
flow due to dirty filter.  Also, the presence of spark does not necessarily
mean all is well... can you hear a "snap snap snap" when holding the plug
against the block turning over the engine?  If it's not air or spark, do you
have fuel injectors?  Dirty/plugged on one or two cylinders can cause a
no-start condition but still gives PLENTY of gas through the others.
