Glad you got it sorted in the end.

The good old coil again.

I think that they all must be getting to that age that they are finally dying

Sad but true, it lasted for almost 50 years. It was still sparking at all 4 cylinders but it must of been on its last legs.
Now I just need to sort out the vacuum unit. Considering it is also getting on for 50, I think I will just replace the dizzy.

There is a blokie on the Sunshine Coast who can refurbish the vacuum unit. I've have one done.

Cheers
