Twenty years ago I could have easily found a dozen places like you describe. One I knew and have used would have been able to have sorted it as a bit of fun, now i’m afraid around me they seemed to have lost the battle against cost/rent and people not bothering to repair, just seems…[Read more]

not had it tested on a ignition tester, but both primary and secondary read same ohms but both together read approx 1.5 ohms to me that says shorted windings. Good to hear yours is ok but I thing I will have to try to sorce another coil or replace the whole ignition set some way, any ideas welcome.

Anyone familiar with this machine or know where I can locate a coil, help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully have attached photos,…[Read more]

Cheers
