After a day of tinkering:-
Magneto stripped cleaned re-built
Timing of engine – think so
Good Spark – Yes
Good Compression – Yup
New fuel line – Uh huh
Fuel in tank – done
wind cord on starter – check
Pull hard – Indeed.
Running engine – Well a couple of bangs and silence.

well its a start !! 🙂

Charlie,

I used a drill to crank it over, There was no spark, then when I make contact with the HT Lead for a few seconds then hold it just under 1mm away I get a good spark but if I stop and then start again the spark is not so strong. If that makes sense ?

I did try and PM you with my E-Mail for the Manuals that you offered to send. But I still have the message saying I need to be a paid member. I did pay yesterday and when It allows me to I will send my E-Mail.

Hi Charlie,
Thank you very much for the information and advice you have provided. Thats great that you were able to provide a delivery date, Name and Address. Makes you wonder how some of these machine travel so far !

Thought I would give you an update

I have been having a tinker today. The HT-Lead was cracked near the magneto body so I have replaced the Lead, Cap and connector that meets the coil. Also cleaned the points and checked and set the gap. No spark through the spark plug but without the cap I get a spark on the body but only once it has been in contact with the body.

Kind Regards
Mel
