nah, doing my head in.

I'm gonna take the ignitor back to the guy in warrington and see if it still works.

If it does, i'll buy new coils and a trigger coil, not a lot else I can do

Nope not a lot else to do is there,thats what i hate about used electrical parts ,,you just never know when they will give up and have you chaseing your tail and second guessing.

good news is the ignitor still works.

and I got another set of plugs which look a lot better.... still no spark.

next step tomorrow will be to separate the connections and see what transpires

Good luck! What else could it be??

Did direct connections and not a peep, I recon its the trigger coil.

is that otherwise known as the pickup coil?

Well your narrowing it down ,the chances of both coils being bad are pretty slim so what else could it be.Just got to love unknowen used so much for a good running used motor,just hope thats the only problem with it.

it would affect the separate independent connections I made.

All i have left is the pickup coil an even that ohms out correctly

black - grey, black - orange, should read 108 to 132 ohms

infinity to earth

is that from the ignitor or HT coils?

from the ignitor (dual pickup type)

I never trust the pick up coil tests they for some reason never seem to fail the test (only if they completly fail) but fail to work,you have eliminated all the rest so noting else really

checks done at the plug connector in the loom, 89 models and on, 81 to 121 ohms

and mine is 95ohms, still its the only thing I have left to replace

if no spark at plugs

red/white wires from ignition coils are fed by 10 amp fuse in fuse box, fuse snugged in?

have you got the black/grey/orange connectors at the ignitor on the right terminals?

Have you got an electrical schematic?
