Re: No spark and a clunk

If the CDI is working it will make a constant sound once the ignition is turned on. So turn it on and go to the back of the car and it should be whining. If no sound then follow Jonny’s advice True, but could be misinterpreted, hence: 1. Working CDI makes a whining noise when the ignition on. 2. Wh...

Re: No spark and a clunk

That sound isn't coming from the CDI and it isn't the starter either. My bet is the car has the electromechanical voltage regulator which has most likely failed. That might have led to the voltage going too high for the CDI box and it destroying itself. The earlier voltage regulator has contacts whi...

Re: Boxster Insurance renewal increase!

The price increase has nothing to do with the risk or the price of anything. It has to do with the sad fact that our government thinks the only way the UK can make money is through financial services, especially since the scandalous megaspaff on Covid PPE. If you think of anything that you're gettin...

Re: 1965 Hillman Imp soon with flat six from a Honda

Love this project! I believe your 6 pin connector is Sumitomo 6189-1083. Here's the dataheet ( search for 6189-1083 in this pdf - it's on page B-06 top right). The pin will be in there too. https://prd.sws.co.jp/components/series/pdf/en/1310components_je.pdf They are horrible to crimp and if you don...

Re: Happy days, 911S is alive!

There's a tacho test mode on our CDI+ box. Remove the button head screw on the front of the CDI+ box. Turn on the ignition (do not start the engine). insert a small screwdriver and press the internal switch once. The taco should slow sweep from 0 to 7000 RPM and back smoothly. If it doesn't, then it...

Re: Meet Ralph - 1970 ST project

You might not know but if you were considering our CDI+ box, you can turn your existing tacho (or any 911 tacho) into a 10K tacho just by fitting a 10k front face. The box has an inbuilt scaling/calibration factor so it can be set to operate at any number scaling from the live RPM signal. The saving...

Re: Meet Ralph - 1970 ST project

Hi Rich, if you go for one of our 175A alternators you can go smaller on battery capacity. I run an Odyssey AGM (PC925) in my SC and a Deadweight (prototype) in my 993. With the battery isolator, we have on occasion had issues where the isolator cannot sustain the current for the AC. TBH, this has g...

Car will run without it. It's only a noise filter.
