how should the coil be earthed? Through the mounting bracket?

will do.

looks like I am getting an intermittent spark. I have ordered never ht leads and point/condenser, etc Thx

thanks all. Yes fuel getting to carb. Plugs in correct order. No spark when turning over engine. I did replace the plugs so may put old ones back in. TBH i didn’t check the gaps so could be that. I’ll take a look at the points gap. Also invested in an in-line ignition/spark plug tester. So...

I am restoring a 75 series 3 2.25 petrol and have a problem starting. It was working before I started dismantling the panels for paint. DOH! I am getting 12v to the + side of the coil from the ignition. I have changed the coil, but the problem occurred before changing it. also a new solenoid...

sorry, but then again I see you're an activist so should have expected it.;)

Hello, Not sure if this is allowed and apologies if it's not. But does anyone have one of these they would sell me. I'm based in Ely Cambs. or even borrow I guess. Just don't want to spend £50 just for one use. Many Thanks. Chris

well there's a turn up. No mastic. just very stuck gasket. Off now and glad I did, about 10mm of sludge in the bottom. probably not been off since 1975! Thx all.
