I'm trying to bring a dead 914 back to life. I have done the usual prep work and have hooked up the electrical system. The car turns over strongly but there is no spark! No spark at the plugs, no spark at the coil. I have switched the coil out with one I had laying around but i'm not getting any better results. Could it be the voltage regulator located in the box where the fuel injected controls are? (mine has been converted to dual carbs BTW).
What should I try next? Thanks in advance! |

QUOTE(codemasterlax @ Sep 20 2011, 04:25 PM)  i have the same problem with mine not getting spark but ive gone through 2 sets of points and 2 condensors what could be causing me to burn them up I wonder how Steve73 is doing? Rereading his post, I think there is a difference between bosh points for the VW 009, and the Porsche distributor? They look very similar but something tells me there are not quite compatible. Maybe Codemasterlax could start a new thread with more details. I'd be happy to help chase down that problem since its one of the very few things I feel quite competent to offer advice on with these cars. |
