[QUOTE="naskeet, post: 639316, member: 15903"] Many years ago, I experienced violent juddering owing to a faulty governor-type rotor-arm, which shorted-out the HT ignition pulses to the spark-plugs at engine-speeds substantially below the 4,500 rpm threshold (corresponding to circa 30 mph in 4th gear!), which on our 1973 VW 1600 Type 2, AD-series engine, would normally not occur at circa 50 mph in 3rd gear and never rev fast enough in 4th gear, because circa 68 mph in 4th gear, was the vehicle's maximum speed. Substituting the new governor-type rotor-arm from our touring-spares kit solved the problem. [/QUOTE]
