(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Sharing a success story for group knowledge. 1974 1.8L. Getting car out from winter slumber, charged battery, changed oil, etc. Sluggish to turn over and battery/system voltage inconsistent. Load tested battery with fine result (2-year old Optima Red).
Consulted Haynes and George Hussey’s 914 Guide. Checked starter connections (all ok). Replaced voltage regulator with known good used one (saving my NOS in box for whatever reason) and removed, cleaned, reinstalled body/trans ground strap. Runs like a champ and all volts on the console meter where they’re supposed to be. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Next up - the thermostat wire is down to one strand. Next week...... |
