I have managed to solve the issues Gus as been having with the lumpy idle & hesitation.
So after the last post I decide to investigate the ignition system as there was a small mis-fire sometime at idle.
So the plan was to swap out all ignition components one by one.
Finally all that was left was the coil..... So I did not have a spare one so I managed to find a Pertronix Flame thrower coil off e-bay - Returned one from JK and sold via status VW on e-bay.
So It was £30 and had slight damage on the top BUT a saving of at least £20 on new.
Arrived next day and fitted it on Thursday Night.....
WOW what a difference. The idle is smooth and it has also massively reduced the hesitation! GREAT
Best money I have spent and it goes perfectly well with the Pertronix Ignigtor electronics points.
So Gus is like new and goes SO MUCH BETTER!
No I can get the back end out in the Wet!
