This is a very difficult to get item to get! Many have said soaking the existing one in kerosene for a few days will do the trick, have not done that yet as I am still trying to track down a new one. Wondering what the success rate has been with soaking it in kerosene, also wondering would WD 40 do the same thing. Would hate to ruin the one I have, which is original to the car!

Ian has a '74 Ljet, complete system and dizzy known at the time to have no issues. The system is from my 1.8 914 that I converted to a /6, about 80k miles on the system. The engine is a 2056cc with a #73 Web camshaft, KB pistons and 2.0 heads, the rest is stock.
I'd have to check but IIRC it was 4 years ago. At that time it ran perfectly, but IIRC the best it would do was 800rpm at hot idle. Only odd thing was it needed 2-3 pumps on the gas to start, with my stock 1.8 it didn't need this. Power I couldn't tell any difference between it and a stock Djet. Ian drove it home, an 18 hour trip, if Ian lived closer I'd likely be the one trouble shooting this. |
