Took the Spyder out for a cruise around the neighborhood this afternoon to look
at the trees, which are gorgeous right now in Nacogdoches. A block from the
house and it shut down. No fire. Yep, Beck builds these things from all new
parts, including the Chinese 009 and electronic ignition. 8800 km and the
thing
gives up.
Towed it home, put in a rebuilt German 009 with points and condensor and it
cranks right up. This was the only car that I had with anything other than a
German distributor and points. I have driven VWs for hundreds of thousands of
miles and the only distributor failure that I have ever had was one set of
broken points on a 71 super beetle that only had about 10,000 miles on it at
the
time. Will never own another electronic ignition equipped VW.
That's my rant for the day.
