Hit & Miss Engine - Help Needed

<< < (2/2)

BillTodd:
The wires on the tail end of the contact breaker seem very close to the metal guide . Might be worth checking.

Do you get a spark with the electrics off of the engine?

BTW the base looks fabulous 😁

Thanks Bill appreciated, how do I test to get a spark off the engine?

BillTodd:
To test spark  , just put a short wire into the plug cap and space it a couple of millimetres from the ground (black) wire.

or stick your finger there - if it hurts like ##!# it's probably working ;⁠-⁠)

That’s the first thing I did working on the BSA’s and Triumphs was to put a screwdriver into the boot and tell them to kick it over if it’s a constant shock add a new condenser! Lol
Are you sure the ground is good and the contacts are isolated?

Jim Dobson:
:) thanks Tom & Bill
