My parts I ordered from Clark’s Corvair came in. I’ve been waiting for rubber bushing and plastic insert that connects the throttle valve linkage to the power glide accelerator cable. The O-ring that goes in between the transmission pan and cable had arrived a week earlier.

I also ordered a replacement speedometer. Upon inspection of the existing cable I found the actual cable inside the sheath was missing. Someone had pulled it out completely and reconnected the end.

Replacing the old cable was an easy task since I had all four wheels off the ground elevated high enough for me to work under comfortably and clearly able to see what I need to do.

The ignition coil looked like it was the original part that came with the Corvair. I’ve had issues after riding around for awhile and getting the motor warm. The coil mounting bracket bolted close to the # 1 cylinder and the transfer of heat from the cylinder to coil bracket may have broken down the coil resistance throughout the years and effecting the spark.

In a nutshell this produced an idle that was erratic and sometimes running at low RPM’s.
