You gotta set of jump leads? Earth the block to the body - where it is sparking to cus that is where it is finding an earth. Does it run sweet then? Still got my money on earthing problems............
 
I reckon you can forget the coil - you got HT if you got that big a spark. Consequently your LT is ok too. Try the earthing the block with a jump lead n see wot happens. Lectricity will always take the easiest route home - not nececelery where you would think it should go. Start with basics and work up..........

Wasn't aware of that. Will it screw the alternator if it's disconnected and started?

what you mean screw the alternator on a dosil you dnt need it to run not like a petrol wich needs that but remember you cant run it 4 long like that cus u will have 2 disconnect the fan belt n all so the water pump wont be working i think im right there
 
I just meant unplug the alternator - just that u gotta be careful cus u can fry alternators. Could end up deeper in the mire than he already is. Anyway he's not responding again so maybe he got it fixed? Or gave up? Reckon I could have that fixed in 10 minutes............
