    coils are earthed to frame and separate wires to 12v and ignitor. Next I'll try a manual fire of coils
  2. youneed to buy for the engine,not the model so check for differences via parts book and you will find they share the same part #

  4. sounds like its starving of fuel either carbs need cleaning or the petcock is partially blocked

    nothing, nada, no spark! rewired it separately from the loom, have power pulses from pickup, 12v off separate battery (common earth to frame for coils), dyna coils, fuck all

    have fun and watch the loonies on the road
  17. is you keep the bike on its side stand (if oil in the engine) you'll be able to take off the clutch side cover without losing the black stuff first check the starter gear isn't loose (mine was) and then take off the clutch basket and check the toothed drive on the back,its held in check with a pin and gets worn which makes a horrible noise. An Austin mini (as opposed to a BMW one) door pin will fit when drilled out and shortened. this is a common "fault" and is about right for a 30k engine keep up the writing, makes great reading
  18. we have trams all over Manchester

    I think VOSA has to authenticate it to prove that it is indeed restricted ot anyone can claim that and not actually do the work properly. you would need a paper trail to sort out any insurance/police interest in the future

    its a winding engine, takes miners down at 30 mph and coal at 60 mph when under full steam. if you look on the floor when I pan round the corner there are spare piston rings on the floor
