Back to points
Posted: Sat Sep 11, 2021 1:10 pmSo this morning MOT booked. Fired her up started first time 
, out if the garage, jumped out to put couple things back in garage, she was idling ok...then cut out. Couldn't restart not even firing 
so started usual checks, fuel yes, plug out..no spark. So swapped coil, no change, well I had a electronic module in the dizzy so swap that out for the spare points always carry. Carb off, module out, new points didn't fit the pivot post on base plate 
had to drill out points. Good job I was still outside the house. Anyway all back together and started on 2nd turn. Runs well so think I will stay on points. Only thing I've noticed now is getting more popping back through carbs. If you carry spare points check out the pivot hole need to get a 4.9mm drill through or won't fit.
