12hp Tourer #110 (the blue one)

[David2021]

Failure at first attempt! No spark. Now the weather is a bit cooler I feel more inclined to try again!

Connected up as per instructions...I had to lengthen the wires from the unit on the distributor to reach the coil,,, A complication is that I have a "security" switch wired to the coil that allows the electric fuel pump to operate. This operates correctly and as it energises the coil it allows the pump to tick happily.!
I will re-check the wiring and also ensure that the Battery connections are clean...there was a post on an Austin Seven site where the installer had exactly this problem (nothing out of the king lead on the coil) & it was solved by cleaning the battery terminals! At the coil originally - as I recall - he was getting under 5.25v and after cleaning...6,25v. End of problem.
