Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm getting a cut out at higher RPMs but it pulls well. I currently run Hot Spark on the original dizzy and the fuel pressure is solid. I have oiled the distributor with some results but before I go buy a new one, I wondered if there is something else I might try. |

Your input does help, it opened my eyes to a shitty design flaw with the hotspark module. I know it's a cheap knock off to the better pertronix module, but why would they design it for max voltage of 13.7v? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
I've been having a intermittent issue with my own 914, I haven't had much time in diagnosing it yet but I think it is ignition related. It's acting very similar to what you and Clark experienced. This is why I think it may be time to jump ship and abort the Chinese hotspark module and switch to the 123 dizzy. There are some very good reviews, and I like the option of tweaking the timing curve through my phone. This could be useful for different octane fuels or modern fuels riddled with ethanol. |
