Hi all, after some months of care free landying ,the old girl has developed a fault which I can't work out ,if any one could help I would be grateful ,have looked through old threads without much joy. Happily running yesterday landy cut out with charge light coming on ,not thinking much ,keyed her up ,she started then done exactly the same ,tried again but had no oil light or charge light but engine would turn over!, then the lights came on and she started again ,drove about 200 yards. Charge light came on and died .tried few more times with same results ,only running for few seconds , left her for a while ,started and drove home!!!, have fitted an electric dizzy with a Lucas coil,and as I said been gear for ages , any help/advice would be much appreciated ,bumble

depends whether this is an issue with poor spark or fueling or loose connector ,poor ignition switch etc ,is dizzy and coil a recent fitting
blue beasty
Leaks an prone to bits dropping off
Does sound like a dodgy ignition switch, that's where I'd be looking first anyway

a year so even though they still could be faulty ,fitting wasnt the cause of present issue ,you can put a new live wire from battery + to + on coil then try ,dont leave this wire connected for long unless engines running

that fault lies with ignition switch or wiring from it to coil, if it makes no difference fault lies with coil ,dizzy, cap ,leads, rotor arm etc or fuel
