Re: LT coils

But for the Varitronic LT coil, is there any fixes that can be done? Unfortunately the coils on these are moulded on to the stator so can't be replaced. I suppose it could be rewound by hand in situ if you could remove the very hard protective coating over the original. What ohms reading are you ge...

Re: Brake switch 3 wires???

Re: MOT ofter SORN ??

It doesn’t make sense that you could just put any historic vehicle back on the road without any form of inspection. No, it does not need an MOT at all. I registered a '63 TV this year and it did not need it, I did have to sorn it later when I received a notice from a data company, because I hadn't ...

Where did you read that, as I've never heard that before?? I believe there are problems with alignment/ misfiring on the AF lightweigh...

Re: electronic ignition... no spark

I know that once every revolution the flywheel magnet fingers create a positive pulse followed by a null then a negative pulse which triggers the thyristor to switch and discharge the voltage stored in the capacitor in the CDI but thats about it The pick up produces several pos and neg pulses durin...
