Richie's Mk1 Restoration

[RichardT10829]

Little update, the adaptor plate arrived today so I managed to get the dizzy fitted, looks great !

I am running 12v on the engine, and the pertronix ignition kit......I am not getting any spark... I am at a dead end at the minute, so if I perhaps list what I have done to trouble shoot, can any of you folk perhaps give me suggestions of things I might have missed ? (Can't see the wood for the trees and all that)

I have checked the negatives (earth) and all are good, the system cycles the starter, powers the gauges, and powers the fuel pump no problems

I have put a 12v light bulb across the coil which lights up, I have then cycled the starter and the bulb does not dim out (so I have no voltage drop issues)

I have had a spark plug in the ht lead for the coil..... Still no spark...

All of the kit is brand new

Any idea's ?

On a positive note I got good oil pressure just cycling the starter motor over so at least the pump is doing its job !
