Sold a 031 back in December, unfortunately he had an engine fire and sent the 031 to be fixed. Talk about crispy.

After chipping away the melted plastic from the condenser and points I took it apart. Surprisingly the internals still worked, the shaft spun and the advance operated. I let the parts soak in the parts washer for a few hours. I then cleaned and all the soot and burnt oil came off. There was no premanent damage to any of the metal parts. I replaced the usual parts during a rebuild and put it back together.
When done it's as good as new. It's a testament to the quality of Bosch distributors.
Anyone want some BBQ?
