Hello,
I was in those floods on the news last week! Landy got me home safe and dry but a few days later wouldn't start...
Cranking fine but no spark.
Tried the spark plug on the block from dizzy, nothing.
Tried swapping the coil (both Lucas) as I have a spare, no change.
Tried connecting a spark plug direct to the coil, removing and reconnecting +ve: weak spark.
Tried connecting another HT lead direct to the coil, still a weak spark.
Checked all fuses - fine.
I'm just wondering if there's something common to wading, damaging an earth connection somewhere or something that might be causing the problem?
Seems the spark from the coil is weaker than i would expect. I checked the resistance on both coil's primary windings and its normal.
Any bright sparks (ho ho) have any other ideas?
Thanks as ever,
J
