    Hi it’s me again. I solved the spark problem by fitting a new condenser but now nothing I do can get the engine firing. I have checked the timing several times and it looks spot on to me. I spray a little carb cleaner in to the pot turn her over and not a chance of firing. Any ideas

    Valves / Compression?

    As Wristpin stated is compression good, if you take spark plug out and stick your thumb over hole turn engine over quickly and it should blow off and if you lay plug on head at same time as your thumb is blown off a spark should be seen, if not have you had engine apart and got valve timing wrong.

    Checked the valves with a deeper and there is hardly any move many on the piston. I think I will check compression for peace of mind

    And “movement”. Bloody predictive text!

    I haven’t had the engine apart and it ran before the spark problem. It’s a mystery
