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.

Have you definitely confirmed that you are not getting spark? --DD As far as my electrical troubleshooting knowledge goes (which isn't far) I am not getting spark to the plugs. I took a plug and connected it to the #1 wire and held it close to engine case bolt and saw no spark. My points are gapped properly also. |
