Hello

I recently re timed my 1600cc beetle 1978
Since that point the car runs great however.....I now need to hold my foot down on the accelerator (gas pedal) to get it started, which it does n
Any ideas why this is ?

Probably timing too advanced.

Re check your timing.
Remember, it's BTDC not ATDC

Re did the ignition timing. All sorted now.
