i also just grabbed another dizzy.... put that in, and it started, i timed it blind to the point where it would start within about 3 revolutions.
i also managed to get it running to the point where i could drive it around the block.....
it was driving ok, at all ranges of the throttle.... but was intermittently missing or bogging down a little bit.....
however. now it wont start at all. i havent taken the dizzy out, so its still aligned. and ive only been playing around with the range of timing that the dizzy allows.
just before that, i grabbed a timing light off a mate and noticed that it was running at about 25 btdc.... i got that down to about 20btdc but was close to dying. before i got around to adjusting the idle screw, everything has died.
..... back to square one.
could it be possible that there is something happening that is destroying the dizzys?
and um. yeah, cheers for the comment about the interior..... give it a rest. the page is 2 years old.
