In review, was it running well before?
Sounds to me like you have a cam gear off by one or two teeth.
These exact symptoms occurred on my Triumph. I had the intake set on the wrong
mark (two teeth) for the year of manufacture.

Symptoms
No start, no backfire when timed near TDC
Starts and runs at a FAST idle when the distributor is rotated so that
it is advanced about 30° (eg. when it starts a timing light immediately
shows it running at 30° BTDC).
Dies at about 20° BTDC if timing is retarded after it is started.
Is there any way this could be fuel related? I don't have another carb
to swap on.
Can a VW flat4 actually JUMP timing? How? No chain to stretch.
I can't afford a rebuild I need ideas. ;-)
