    Correct parts numbers

    So I made the mistake (and I knew it was when I ordered) of ordering some parts for the Green Meanie on Amazon....a distributor cap, points, and rotor. The distributor was wrong altogether and I don't trust the other two either now. Lol. Normally, I use realoem.com to find part numbers but it...

    Hi! Do you still happen to have these turn signal lenses??? My mother in law cracked one on my 73 3.0CSI and am having trouble finding a replacement that looks original. Thanks for your time

    Blow by or fuel

    That's good to know. I'm going to take the Green Meanie to a mechanic recommended by the local BMW club to let him dial in on things in the ignition and intake systems so it can be driven. I'll ask him about his experience with a D-Jet system. And I'll look for a manual to use in the future.

    Blow by or fuel

    That is a good question. I assumed I got it all out before I changed the plugs. I could be wrong.

    Blow by or fuel

    Ok, guys. Here is the deal. You know I just got my '73 3.0 CSI about a month ago. It has almost 52k miles on it so I decided to do a little tune up to see if it would run better. At this point, it idles smoothly, albeit around 1100-1300 rpm range rather than the 950 where it should be. But when...

    '73 3.0 CSI on Maui....The Green Meanie

    You just made my day. It's been a little difficult finding someone I would trust to work on the Green Meanie. I would love for you to take a look at it the next time you come on island. Thanks a heap for letting me know.

    '73 3.0 CSI on Maui....The Green Meanie

    Hi, Alan. I live in Paia on the north shore of Maui. But you were really, REALLY close! Stable road is about 2 miles down the road as you go towards the airport. I live right off of the Hana hiway next to the ocean. That's another reason I need to get the small amount of rust I do have under...

    '73 3.0 CSI on Maui....The Green Meanie

    Hi, my name is Carl. I just acquired this beauty from a friend of my father-in-law who has owned it for the last 20 years. He only drives it once a year when he comes on the island for business for a month or so. Otherwise it has been kept in his garage. He wanted to give it a good home b/c it's...
