Have you checked the fuse for the coil?

is that under the steering wheel if yes i have, i dont know where to go next

the coil has a fuse??

did you replace the points?
did you correctly fit the noo ones?
are you getting power to the LT side of the coil?

i replaced the leads one by one, i should have 12v @ the + side , no because the spark plugs have no spark at all

oophs!

yeh i know, what do i need to check in the dizzy then, i just need to get it started so i can get it in the garage as i need some painting done

electronic ign ?? dint like the stuff if it dint worked its not easily fixed. if i was you i'd throw it away and go back to having conventional ign in it . that way when it a cold dark wet windy night you have a chance of getting going again..

am not sure what they took out of yer dizzy to put the lectric stuff in. so if you could post a piccy that would help
or have a look here....

i have tried to adjust the points hasn't made a difference is it worth buying a new dizzy

Now we can make some progress.
