I can't seem to get a spark......she was running great and then cut out and wouldn't start.
checked plug against block no spark
with dizzy cap removed no spark between points.
lead from coil to dizzy checked against block no spark
I'm running out of ideas
I bought and fitted the following, still no joy.
New condensor
New coil
New points
New HT leads
New Plugs
new solenoid
background: a few moons ago my mate burnt out the alternator, by trying to jump start with the leads the wrong way round. I swapped out the knackered one with a new lucas 16ACR alternator then noticed that the battery was boiling over, which made me think there was a fault with the regulator on the alternator. My neighbour asked his mate a Landrover mechanic his advice, he said its possible that the alternator if charging too high could have cooked something else like condenser or coil on the circuit. So I have fitted all new items above and still can't get a spark.
I convinced my wife a landrover would be good idea, simple to fix, cheap parts etc. if i don't get it going soon she's going to leave me for some one with a jap 4x4 or get the landy crushed
so there is my sanity, marriage and landrover on the line.....no presure!!
thanks
