My MSD ignition is dead. It worked great 2 years ago when I swapped the 3.0L engine to carbs and replaced the Bosch ignition. Less than 1 hour of runtime - now 2 years later of sitting in storage it's dead. I did accidently spark the main battery power cable once or twice - perhaps that did it in. I was ready to start the engine in the 914 for the first time this week! I even expedited a new coil to get it before the weekend.
So now I have to send it off and wait 2-3 weeks for it to be fixed. Grrr. What's really annoying is that I wanted to test the engine before I connect everything else - just in case I need to drop the engine and fix/change something. Grrrr. |
