Hey guys i haven't received my repair manual yet and i need some help with my engine. Like I said i'm new to the 914 world. The engine turns over, its getting fuel but it will not start. I got the firing order correct , it has a new coil and distributer head. Is there any direction you guys can point me in and any help at all? By the way where is the green wire suppose to go coming off of the distributer. Thank you and any help would be great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Green wire comes from the points (in the distributor) It goes to the negative side of the coil. There is a Black/Violet also on the negative side of the coil. This is the tach wire.
This would explain why you have no spark if left disconnected. |
