I spent a very interesting afternoon learning how to put a new dizzy, condenser and points into my Series One with the help of an automotive genius friend of mine due to the failure of my luminition system.
Refitting the bits ,and doing the timing took us about 30 minutes, but getting her to run took us about 2 more hours. Once we had fitted it all she fired up and ran the first press of the tit, after that we couldn't get her to run at all.
After going through the whole ignition electrickery under the bonnet for the umpteenth time, we found that the wires to the fuel pump had failed and it was a lack of fuel preventing her going.
A couple of minutes later after rewiring the pump to a new switch she now ran, and still does run , like a dream.
I seam to spend all my time chasing problems around the loom.
Still love her though.
