Sold me Rav4 because of certain future plans, now I am wondering what to do? Should I rent a car for a few days or buy a small cheap (reliable) run about that I can sell quickly. Not for daily driving but to go about the weekend shift and probably one or two trips. Heart says rent, but its going to be quite expensive.· 16 replies

Question
mightymicra
Hiii,
Its been a very long time since I v last been here. I have came across a friend's car, A BMW 316 M10 (Carburetor) model. This car has been running ok and then was put to a garage where he wanted to do a carburetor swap. However things did not ended as planned and the car was sitting there with nothing and finally when he wanted it back the guy at the garage has said its not starting. My friend did not want to keep the car there anymore so we had to tow it back. Anyhow when we went there and asked the guy what might have been gone wrong he pointed some clip was broken in the distributor and this should be the problem. We towed it back to my place and then started to fix the broken clip. Still with no luck the car is not giving any spark. I was managed to get a workshop manual and checked the wiring and seems everything in order. This is a DCI model and there is a pulse generator in the distributor and my suspicion was this could be the problem. (The manual sates that if you remove the distributor assembly you might need to replace the signal plate "Which trigger the AC signal to the CDI").
So I know there are many experts with great knowledge in here and I would be glad if you could help me out with this to bring the beast back to life. (I am not an expert but trying to work my way up). So Thank you in advance to whole who can give me tips and ideas what should be done.
Cheers !!!!
