So - A tad rusty, not having had a petrol engined vehicle for about 20 years....
Flat battery today, so I guess the home-made loom the last owner made has a leak to earth.... Tried starting it with jump from a good battery without success. Hopefully I've just flooded it first time round - but anyone like to give me a step by step checklist in case its more fundamental ? How hot should the coil get fr'instance ? The coil on mine was almost too hot to touch after a bit of cranking.
Thanks,
G.
