Hi Forum Members
Just joined the forum today..this is my first post on the 914world... please forgive if this is not the correct place to ask the question.. i had purchased a 1972 ( Dec 1971 build on the data strike plate ) and have used it for an year without any problem.. It has a 1600 or 1700 cc displacement..not sure which..with dual webber 40 IDA setup with computune & pertronix coil for ignition most of the electric stuff seems stock for carb setup it is .. being smog free most of the other electrical stuff was removed..like buzzer, seat belt warning et all.. the car does not stop..when i turn the ignition switch off . i had to pull the ignition coil to dizzy cap wire & then disconnect ground from battery to stop the running facet fuel pump seems there is electrical feedback in the system.. should i have to replace the ignition switch and the voltage regulator ( bosch stock version with the yellow tape ?).. does the order matter.. Is there any other gremlin.. the real culprit ? |

Welcome. You have an unusual problem - most of these folks have troubling starting theirs...good for you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Buy a set of jackstands, put the car up and let it run until it's out of gas. Then let it sit there for 10 years before you attempt a quick fix that will turn into a full blown restoration. That's how most of us got started ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
