could be either or but my bet would be with finnerz, shit gets in those switches get it off, clean the terminals with a bit of wet/dry then a squirt of wd40 or for you kev, (lazy bastards way) just squirt wd40 in switch as you rock it on and off a few times

Had a mk2 and a mk 3 myself as well as metro's fiesta's. All the points were easy. The A series even more so with a keyed dissy drive. You could do it on the bench. My dt's on the other hand. Setting and adjusting through a gap you can only fit 2 fingers into and stripping off the sidecase, gear lever and then pulling the flywheel off. (Easy now with hub centre pullers) to change them, not to mention the condenser. The bigger villan if you ask me. I used to move them so they were fitted in pairs outside of the generator so if (ha ha) when it failed it was easy to change.

Yeah sorry my bad..! I did mean on here, he's more than welcome to turn up and we will all do our best to get him sorted. He's welcome in Stroud to if he wants to make the journey but I figure if it goes that far then there ain't much wrong with his bike anyway.

Fkn scammers" , i was good at the cunumdrum on Countdown , am saying Saltire ,[ fk them name shame the bastards,] , did you get it fixed, i thought pilot jet, as it was bogging of the throttle, i think slice meant bring him on here , Forum,,,,

Fair enough,guys,I have to confess I'm not familiar with this particular bike,I was equating removing the points from most older style cars, which was quite easy - I once had a knackerd old Ford Escort van which had 'em and they came out no bother, -could sand them down to get rid of the pitting and put them back in,all in quite a short time. This not the start of a thread on knackered old vans......

That's a very kind offer,thanks Slice,but we're a long way from Gloucester. What I have done is draft a letter for the kid to present to the manager of Arse Lit motorcycles, copying to Trading Standards and seeing how they react. For the manager to provide, in writing, a detailed breakdown ,job by job,check by check outlining exactly what 'diagnostic checks' were done,and how long each one took. But it's up the kid whether or not he wants to take it further. Let's hope he does .I hate to see this sort of thing. cheers
