Does anyone use electronic ignition,can you point me in direction which is best.or should I stick with original setup.bus is a 1985 1900dg.

All petrol t3s (except the earliest air-colds) have electronic ignition as standard.

Ok. I mean a more modern version powerspark etc .

I have no problems with the standard setup.

Thanks for that,think I'll just buy a new coil and see if that solves problem I would rather keep original set up anyway.

What problems are you having?

When I pull off it hesitates as if it's cut out then it goes and I can feel it holding back as if not enough power,then it goes great for a bit then trouble again.it's well maintained tho serviced regular etc.

What makes you think it's electrical?

Could be fuel related also, you say regularly maintained, a lead or cap can fail at any time however new.

When was the fuel filter last changed, is that blocked, if so pennies to buy.

Process of elimination really, if you have any old known working caps, leads, dizzy cap and rotor arm swap them out one at a time or just buy some new ones but swap one thing at a time.

Clean the carb out for starters and once this is done if no better get back on here.

Don't know if it's electrical just clutching at straws really,plugs,leads,rotor arm air and fuel filters replaced beginning of year ,have ordered new ones to see if it solves problem.Don't really want to touch carb ,have found a company on line who want £145 to recon it ,that's my next option.

Hesitation can be caused by the following I have found.
Transfer jet blocked
Accelerator pump diaphragm worn or split
Not enough metered fuel in the pump
Air leak on the induction side.
Incorrect mixture

If you accelerate slowly does it still hesitate?

It seems to be holding back the power when accerating,but does feel sluggish.it's ticks over great.

Vac unit? If fitted.

Seems I may have found problem,I bought New cap and rotor arm while removing coil lead gently from old cap it crumbled and broke.Will be ordering new set of leads monday hopefully this will solve problem.
