    Hi the wire from the coil to the points isn’t long enough. Do have to use a specific wire or can I use a strand from normal three core cable?

    I think I am going to change the condenser it was the only part of the ignition I didn’t change during the rebuild.

    The spark plug that I removed is a 14mms thread and I now know the CB3 is an 18mms but I now wonder why the manuals for the engine and tiller state the plug as CB3

    Hi, I’ve just received an order for a replacement for lodge MB3 spark plug. The plug they have sent has n 18mm thread but the original plug thread is much smaller than that. on enquiry th e supplier said this is a replacement for the CB3. The hand book says it should be an MB3 can anyone point me in the right direction, are the suppliers correct?
