Recommended Posts

OK, so ive been trying for 2-3 weeks now to get Karl (my 73 2002) going...and Ive had no luck!!

car: 73 2002, 5 speed, weber 32/36...002 dizzy

what started as me cleaning the points and replacing the plugs has turned in to a no run issue. i have changed the points and con ( i even bought a petronix also) and the plugs.

all it does is turn over ( kinda slow )

im clueless on what to check next, any help would be AMAZING...

thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'd like to help - it's mostly timing for me with work however, and this week is no better so far! I leave Sunday for a biz trip as well.

It may take a bit of time but I surely can carve out something. Also need to visit mr Austinmf too.

It's just a matter of going through it all - check spark, fuel and go on from there!

Shoot me an email when you get a chance. greg.resa at gmail.com I can give you the name and number of a guy who helped me figure out an electrical issue I was having. Kept blowing fuses.

I do not know a single thing about ignitions...dwell, timing, spark, wires, plugs...

I am going from pertronix to megasquirt.... already piecing it together.

I am fighting rust but EVAPORUST from Harbor Freight has cleared my tank, just trying to get the top of the tank done now.

Long story but I hope to have the carbed car on the road in a month and the squirted car by summer!

Still have body work and interior work to finish.... my car is completely gutted.

Looking forward to getting together with everyone!

Thats GREAT news! Congratulations man! My free time is limited these days, been trying to break free to even have lunch with an 02'r but work and life (kids) take up most of my free time. Wish we lived closer it would be an easier decision.

Maybe setup an early weekend morning event to get some help going?

Remember, it all needs to be ready for mid america 02 fest this year!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
