914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Dizzy Wobble Woes

Posted by: sean_v8_914 Feb 17 2005, 02:29 AM

I slapped together an engine from leftover crap on teh garage floor to drop into my Dino kit car. a 1776, single progressive Webber and an 009 dizzy. ran OK, but then it started to miss under load after a few days of driving. at idle it was OK an static (curbside) reving it rev'd OK. it only missed under load. if I would push the clutch in and rev it a bit it would cure itself for a while. This got progressively worse over a 4 day period. Today it got to where the car did not want to stay running. Well, teh dizzy shaft is loser than any I have ever seen so I opened up teh points as wide as I could get them and limped off teh I-15 ramp to a friends house a mile away to park it till morning.

can a wobbled out dizzy be re-built?
by me?
can I buy the bushings?
does anyone here have a source?
should I throw it in teh trash?

I have another 009 in teh dirt pile with a tighter rotor shaft
my 914 is in MX at Los Panchos thanks to Dr monkey spankin Evil so I have to drive teh VW till I get the Teener back
