Re: Points replaced, vehicle died, now cant get spark at all

http://thebloke.co.nz/images/coil.jpg Oh, the brain hurts. Could someone please tell me the correct wiring here? I know the black comes from the distributor to the negative. But what about the positive/ballast? The coil I just removed seems to have bypassed it. I have two cables, white and purple, ...

Re: Points replaced, vehicle died, now cant get spark at all

Haven't checked to condenser - is there a way to test that?

Handbrake Adjustment

Good morning folks - quick question - need to tighten up the handbrake, it works, but not as well as it needs to.

Re: MS80 Carberettor Adjustment Tool

Hrm... ok folks - how do I go about definitely identifying what Zenith I have in there? The hexagonal tool doesn't seem to be going into anything - but want to confirm what tool I am meant to be using before I push anything.

Re: MS80 Carberettor Adjustment Tool

Thanks for that - thought I believe that the Stage 1 has the CDSE carb in it - later model?
