Re: Lumpy tickover...

Must say fitted the latest version of coil conversion from Willie McKenzie runs well on my Twelve.

Re: Lumpy tickover...

The original Bosch rotor arms had a single piece of brass from the centre to the outside. The nice AA man removed the one on my daughters Beetle when she broke down near Bristol and fitted one like Ruairidh's photo, that lasted as far as Stoke. When another AA man came to her rescue he couldn't fix it and she was relayed home and it was my job the fix it. In the space between the two bits of brass is a suppressor which is well known to fail, there was a warning about it in the PWA7 club mag a couple of months before this incident in 2003, so I knew to dig the suppressor out and solder a piece of brass in. Then I had to find the original fault-a leaking air manifold joint.
