SORTED IT I knocked the choke cable cable off the coil while doing carb adjustments before the electrical problems. Electrical problems occurred because I put the cable on the wrong terminal on the coil. Can't believe that! Just got to get her tuned up now! :D Thanks for your input guys, turns out I...

I have mate, thanks! Either way I get a spark from the coil (through proper coil lead or plug lead) but nothing with plug attached, and no spark from the dizzy regardless! With the ignition on, I get a spark at the points when they open, and they are set to the correct gap. But any combination of ol...

Ok so... From the coil: with lead - spark with lead + plug - no spark From dizzy: with lead - no spark with lead + plug - no spark So it seems I have 2 separate issues! It seems a bit bizarre to me that all the plugs should go at the same time. And then as you say there must be a problem with the ro...

Ok, thanks a lot boxy!



I shall let you know how it works out!

Cheers Boxy, you are absolutely right, it is driving me crazy, the rotor arm and dizzy cap are brand new on today, because cleaning up the old ones didn't fix the problem ! I am really confused. Tomorrow i shall try putting a bolt or something in the end of the HT lead to test the spark without the ...

It is still there Boxy, but thank you!

However I have no spark at any spark plug despite brand new rotor arm, dizzy cap, condenser, points & HT leads, and fairly new, very shiny spark plugs. The van was running yesterday!! Feeling a touc...

Like that plan, cheers Mick, athough "my" welder is in hampshire which might be pushing it

Hey folks, I need a reputable welder asap, can anyone recommend one in or near the stourbridge area? Needs to be close because the old girl is not MOT'd

Thanks!

thanks Wychall!

Cheers Kev! The engine is sweet, and i have just refurbed the carbs so all should be good

Mines a 2.0l ac kev, though if there is somewhere that could do my brothers polo too (1.3 i think) that would be ace!

Good evening, and happy new year folks, just wondering if anyone can recommend a tune-up guy with a rolling road in the West Mids!

Awesome, thanks folks!

I am trying to work out a DIY rock'n'roll bed idea that incorporates a small drawer unit over the engine bay, I have seen pictures of this done before, but but i believe it was done in conjuction with forward folding caravelle seats... has anyone ever made a rock'n'roll bed a bit higher to allow for...
