So after a little over three years I finally got some free time and money to get my 914 running again. Got her started up after changing oil, filter, and cleaning the gas tank. While I was trying to start it again after it quit running while I was tuning the carbs I found the ignition rotor to be fried and melted a bit.

If you're using a high-performance coil, you need to dig the resister out of the epoxy. From there you will need to solder in a piece of stranded copper wire to take its place. I believe John at aircooled.net sell these premade.

I believe John at aircooled.net sell these premade. Thanks. I'll contact John and see what he has. I'm using an MSD Blaster coil |
