Dear Covairists,

Perhaps someone can assist us with some answers?

Q1.  We have pulled out the engine to replace the bushing to the 
transmission, and the rear oil seals etc. etc. There are now NO
oil leaks.   However, when putting back the engine my mechanic
tried another pressure plate from a spare engine I own.  This of course
was the later type and now we know, doesn’t fit or work.

As a result we went back to the old pressure plate and also put on a
new clutch which I recently purchased.  The result however is that
the clutch peddle needs to be pushed completely down to release
and that there is a slipping of the clutch when engaging into gear.
My mechanic discussed putting
spacers  (washers) to reduce the space of the clutch disc.

Perhaps I am not explaining this properly – basically I have a slipping
engagement of the clutch between gears.  What can be done?


Q2.  I have installed the SOURCE electronic ignition and have tried to get
an answer without luck to this next question.  The ignition either can be adjusted
to allow the engine to ‘flutter’ at the low end (acceleration start) or ‘flutters’
at the top-end (at the end of acceleration).  This is sort of a gasping for fuel effect.

Anyway, my technician was wondering whether the voltage on the ignition
should change from 12V to 6 V due to the resistor connection? (or should it remain at 12 V?)  
Is this supposed to happen?  What should / could be  checked to eliminate this fluttering effect?

I would appreciate a posting of my questions to any and everyone that can possible assist
and answer.


Regards,
Mark  Luther
