Hi TBH I am not very mechanically minded - so when I asked mechanic to change to electronic ignition I didn’t specify which brand to use . I have subsequently been told that accuspark are not the best product ? Maybe I need to change ?
Rather than shooting from the hip you need to identify the problem. Not easy if it happens on longer runs. Was the whole distributor replaced or a module fitted to replace the points? If the latter, refitting points and seeing what happens would be a cheap way forward.
Yes it was the latter - and I did buy points kit and condenser as back up. I suppose it’s a case of eliminating all probable causes until we find the culprit as there Is nothing obvious from looking at the surface . Thanks for your help
Hiya I thought I would take the camper for a gentle ride to the beach at the weekend as I cannot see mechanic until next week . Anyway knew something wasn’t quite right as heavy smell of oil . Anyway got home and smoke was coming from underneath - I have attached a video. Would this be connected with the engine cutting out last week ,have to say there wasn’t any smoke last week or the smell of oil. Or Maybe just a Coincidence. I am assuming the smoke is connected with a hole in the exhaust ??? Thanks Dave
That looks to be getting rather hot Dave, I’m guessing there’s other issues here at work. Ozziedog,,,,,,,what’d the meknik have to say?
