never mind the website ollie, give Fowlers a ring tomorrow

amperage doesnt matter mor to the point it is HT (High tension) cable and must stand thousands of volts, thats why the insulation is so thick. on many coils this lead isnt supposed to be removeable and is glued into the ignition coil...how about yours?

petrol may dissolve the adhesive? I suppose it may last a short while if needs must

try Fowlers of Bristol then ollie http://www.fowlers.co.uk/parts/from_fowlers_web.html

nahh dont panic kelum, i said 'often 5000' it seems yours is 10000 resistor caps, try cutting 12mm off the HT wire where the cap screws on, (assuming you have enough length to do so)

ayone else going to this, its a good event for charity...give us a shout

try cmsnl Ollie

resistor plug caps are often 5000 Ohms, if you want to check take a reading with your meter set to 20k Ohms, why not compare one plug cap against the other. Theres definitely something going on to have a sooty plug...not good!

Greetings John

yeah sort the carb rubber first Dave, maybe it is just a surface split though and so not causing trouble, to prove just spray the split with WD40 or something with the engine running...see if it has any effect. Try Fowlers of Bristol for parts

Good lad Georgie, may you have many happy trouble free miles on her had much of a ride on the beemer yet...?

Greetings Dave

aha option 4 is it

Greetings PG how about a picture of the new bike?

Great bike George enjoy and keep her clean especially over the winter

nice one Pat good to see you enjoying the resto I am too

Greetings Adam lets hope you soon get to the bottom of your starting woes

even though its sparking buy a few more new plugs and try them

that gap is the slide 'cutaway' all carbs have them but to different degrees some are big and some are small

Greetings Bifoke nice n warm is it...brrrr

Chris the usual thing is to remove the cat, there will be a cat i think if theres a pipe sticking out the top of the header, you will need a good weler to tig the ehaust back together and be sure to mark it up properly before the cut...i'll see if i can find a post on it, Forum member Vez did it on his

money well spent there..nice find and

is the plug getting wet, have you tested the compression? please see my signature line

dunno eddie but if it were me i'd be fitting new friction plates and studying how to adjust it, also check theres no tight kinks in the operating cable

is most likely a feature...the oxford hotgrips do this before they totally flatten the battery so as to leave some juice for starting. I expect the tiny generator in your 125 is struggling to keep up and the battery voltage falling...thus kicking in the feature....all just a guess though
