Cap looks perfect, contacts are clean and new.

Yea the points appear to be opening and closing, when taking the dizzy cap off they are at different positions, from closed to open. Have the multimeter on them and when closed reading 12.4v and when open 0… And I’m getting spark on the ht from the coil… just not at the plug…

The pin is still there. The coil was new last year, is there a positive and negative type, or just the way is wired up? I’m wondering if I’ve blown the condenser wiring it the wrong way round?

Is there a east way to check?

Thanks for the reply, I’ve tried every feasible combination, but can’t seem to get a spark at the plug. It was all running before I stripped it down. It was a new coil, dizzy cap and arm before and new ht leads too… The only thing I’ve done was free of the vacuum advance adjuster…. Could that...

Hi all, spent all day messing with this and still no joy! Just putting back together my series 2 - positive earth: before I took it to pieces, the engineer fired and ran well. Now started to reassembly and it won’t fire or spark. The wiring was a dogs dinner, so have run a 12v jumper to the...

Thank for the advice, will give it a whirl. I had thought of using a bit of 2 stroke mixed petrol to help “lub” it up a little when first starting… any opinions on that?

Hi all, I am in the process of restoring a series 2 that has been sat in barn for 30 years. I haven’t attempted to start the engine yet, any advice on how to recommission it to test the engine is working? Coolant was drained when stored and there is oil in the engine. Any advice welcome!

When you say rear diff flange splines... do you mean the rear axel drive shaft flanges?

That great thanks. Will investigate and let you know the finishing!

90000...

Super. On the uj’s, what kind of movement do you look for?

Super will give it a try!

Well noted thanks ;) how did you check for wear on the half shafts and flanges? I also heard that the uj’s could give similar issues?

Super... any thoughts about my idea of disconnecting the rear prop?

Hi all, so I be been trying to diagnose the “clunk” I get in 1st and 2nd and when lifting of the accelerator pretty much in all gears. when setting off in 1st there’s what feels links a “shudder” but doesn’t happen all the time, if you “take up” the slack then it’s not as bad... which is what...

Also would it cause a jerking on power take up.

Thanks, I know the bushes are good as they were replaced when I rebuilt it. The a frame joint could be away, but it seemed ok when it was put back together. How would you check for a worn a frame ball joint?
