Right I need help! I've replaced the battery, spark plugs, HT leads, coil, complete dizzy assembly (Dizzy, cap, rotor arm, condenser) and it still won't fire!
have you got fuel are the spark plugs wet with fuel after trying to start have you put every thing back in the right order Have you set the timing after replacing the dizzy What engine what dizzy
That's the little carbon brush from the centre of the cap - it is on the end of the spring - you can push it back on to the end if you are careful and it should stay on place .
There is fuel and the plugs were wet. 009 dizzy on a 1776 type 1 engine. I have the Haynes Manual to set the timing, no joy.
Mate did you see the earlier posts.....?. take off your dizzy cap and check that the spring loaded contact is still present in the centre. It looks like you have no connection between the cap and the rotor arm.
This ^^ Just fit a spare cap if you have one or try slipping it back in if your desparate - it won`t fire without this !!
a 009 is about 90deg different to a standard dissy you need to get the engine at tdc on no1 then turn the dissy so that the rotor arm is pointing at no1 lead that should get you started then you need to time it with a strobe
I've checked and re-checked everything is where it should be and still nothing. I have spark from the coil to the dizzy (that's the only spark I've checked as the wife went past. But still.
Have you checked with a new/spare dizzy cap?? You'll get a spark from the coil, but not from the plugs until you get that little centre pin this thread starts with sorted.
