    help Distributor Needed

    OK, my mechanic is in the process of changing the cam belt, and has discovered that the Distributor has been damaged and a hack repair has been attempted in the past. This explains why it was running badly at low revs!

    Does anyone out there have an old one I can purchase before I'm forced to order one from Japan.

    Am happy to pay for international postage etc (To NZ)

    Here's hoping!

    Thanks,
    Julian

    Cringe Time!

    Here's a photo of the damage done by some monkey about 18 months ago. (Have been reading the service history of the previous owner who took the Beat in for a no start)

    I need new distributor, rotor arm and cap.

    Looking at about NZ$800.00 from Honda (Imported from Japan)

    It might be worthwhile waiting for one on Yahoo.jp. There is one on now http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b115779881 for 6300 yen (100 NZD). Seller pulled it from a 93K car and makes no claims for it working, but could be worth a throw. Maybe contact Jesse Streeter about it.

    Also a NEW cap and rotor for abt 60 NZD http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n95652876

    A big thank you to Mike (TADO) for the new Distributor. The beat now runs sweet.
