Anything electrical in there or just mechanical? Carb cleaner would probably break apart most of it.
But I havent touched those dizzy's in years so I dont know if it would be bad for it or not.. |

The little "green" wire is the grounding strap to ground the points plate to the dizzy body. If it is toast you can buy some de-soldering floss and solder in a replacement. The desoldering floss is a flat braid of fine copper - soft flexible and works great.

Brian I've never seen the grounding strap having a sheath on it. I suspect the strap is the original braided copy that has oxidized to the color green. |
