    Fuel tank replacement

    Yep, wrong tank ‍♂️ I called and they will take the tank back but charge 10% handling fee. It was circa £90 - expensive mistake! Thanks everyone for the help and advice!

    Fuel tank replacement

    Got it from paddock spares. On the existing tank, looking inside the opening for the fuel gauge you can see 5 fixing points that correspond to the screws. I’m assuming if I drill a hole I’ll need to fix this with rivets? Or do you think the hole should have been drilled?

    Thanks for everyone’s help and comments. Think I may have resolved the issue Changed the earth terminals. Got a crank start handle and managed to fire the motor up for a few seconds, just before I had time to pull the choke it cut out. Wired a positive connection directly to starter motor...

    @Disco1BFG noting yet! I’ll have another go once I get new leads. I’m assuming you will want a volt reading input of 12.5 into the ignition coils to creat a spark? And thanks for the eBay link

    I looked at the ignition coil. Green wire from distributor / condenser to ignition coil on the negative input of the ignition coil. Black wire going to positive (removed for photo purpose). Is this the correct direction?
