Just got back from a week in Melbourne and Barney will not fire. Spins well, but not even a hint of a kick. Plenty of charge. Any tips on where to look first?

Probably just sulking because you went away without him...wash and polish him then try again

Still sulking. Anything obvious apart from coil lead and condensation in the dizzy cap?

Zero spark. Ideas? I put an electronic module in the dizzy a while back and a few weeks ago it had a long miss, like fuel delivery failure.

Have you got a points dizzy lying around you can try? Easiest way to find out if the electronic module has gone t!ts up.

Got a multimeter? Just do a few voltage checks, make sure the coil is getting 12V etc.

cheers,

Jacob

Weber. No choke. More importantly, no spark.
