Hi all recently just got my mini going and painted.Been a few weeks in the process of putting it back together, but I went to start it today and not go. It's got 12.4 volts at the battery. Same amount of power at the starter soloniod. But don't have any spark. Running an Aldony dizzy. Is the battery to low in charge? It keeps winding over but no fire. Getting fuel into Webber.

Whack a jump pack on it. If it fires, the battery will be buggered. Cheapest place to begin

If I'm carrying on like a pork-chop, I'm having a great time.

If I go very quiet there's a very good chance I broke something.

The battery has been on charge all day. It just winds and winds. Stuck a screw driver in one of the plugs to the head but no spark. Coil is about a month old so is the dizzy

Check that you have power to the coil.
Are the points opening and closing.

I know it's basic but ......

What Coil are you using? Has it fired up and ran at all since you put it together?
