Whats one of those? no, seriously, I am new to all this sorry for being a dumbass.

Hello there anyone got any ideas, after fixing the ignition on my petrol 90, it has run for a couple of days and is now losing power seriously and hesitating and it stalled twice when warm on slight hill starts, any help much appreciated!

Well thanks for all the help lads, I had a mechanic out to it while I was a work and he has fixed it, it was the ignition rocker switch missing a position, again cheers for the help.

seems like the contacts for the rotor arm in the cap are pitted, the leads test for continuity, however it is quite a high reading any ideas as to what they should read? I am getting 5k ohms approx. each lead is similar, but the different lengths add a few ohms.

well its a spark about 1-2 mm thick, coming from the main ht lead to the engine body when I try that, i will check the points, also, is it a carbon brush from the main ht to the rotary arm? and should that be just a brass arm, no carbon on it or anything?

should i check the main ht or the individual leads for a spark?

thanks for the help so far, petrol is getting to the carb, there is a spark from the ht lead when i do as slob advised, what and where are the points, (stupid i know but check the name!) condenser and rotor arm and how and what do I check? cheers.
