I'm back....I was a little aggravated that I failed on this, so I took another attempt. I have been thinking about it logically for a while now and the 2.4bar system pressure just made no sense. It means it is simply not holding the correct pressure...so WHY? If I put the halves back together and the car ran like crap, then I understand probably due to differences in each spring, aka it needs some very fine tuning, but the complete lack of pressure was really irritating me....so I took it apart again --

When I took the distributor halves apart, the O rings around the center barrel were in pieces!! Maybe that is the reason as to the failure then?

So....I decided to do the following as a last attempt:

First get some B12 Chemtool and soak both halves of the distributor for a number of hours:




and the elusive micron filter....looks fine to me, but NOTE the small hole in the barrel? Gotta line this up dead on, not much room for error!!




This weekend I will be finishing up my fuel tank and give this baby a roll -- maybe I'll hit a jackpot!
