BTW, where did you get the coils from and how much?

Have you figured out the root cause?

Happy days ..such a shame because I purchased an extra box of matches, as I getting to the point of no return!!......lol

Oh JohnR, where are you...!

These have definitely helped not got to the route cause yet haven't had the time , would defo like to attempt to get a choke cable together for it?

[Smallkat]

At that price, I am going to get some, just to rule one more thing out. I presume all mounting holes line up and the wires are correct?

I've found my old starter cable. It's a little more complicated than I remember, with two right-angle metal bends and an adjuster in the middle, plus a small spring. Venhill are probably going to want £50-60 to make a copy. Or there is one on ebay:

Postage is a bit steep, but he's got loads, so might be willing to do a deal.

If you still want to borrow my cable, PM me your address and I will send it to you.

Thanks for that ...let me message this dude first to see if we can work a deal on postage ,as he is outrageous with his fees for postage....
The mounts on the coils line up fine however I found on the righthand coil I had to use slightly longer bolts and build up the washers but no big deal really.....the leads were spot on ... they made a big difference to the bike .....very reasonable priced......

Well Gents , I'm actually at the point of çonsidering breaking this dam bike !!!...it was running then doesn't want to run.....starter and relay seem to get extremely hot now whilst turning it over....tbh I've had enough ....Time to move on ....anybody interested give me a shout ...I'm owes me £1650 . ...its a nice clean original example ......

[Uncle Bob]

Did you try a new ignitor? I tested SmallKats one and it was dead, so he bought one of those Chinese ones on AliExpress and that seems to have fixed his issues.
My bike was getting harder to start, taking longer on turning over before starting. SmallKat said his was going like that before it stopped, so I bought a new one as well and now it fires straight up.
Hopefully over the winter I will look at trying to repair the old ones (capacitors and possibly the transistors)

Me, me, me, MMEEEEE!!!!

If I can get Mrs Smallkat to agree.

Where are you?

[William.sn032]

I'm in Fife , I know a courier that delivers throughout the UK very reasonably?
Thanks for the advice on the ignitor uncle Bob , not sure where to go with it now tbh.....

For me, I think getting another Cdi ( which can be cheap enough ) is the best option , only because you've done everything else and come this far , it'd be a shame to give up after so much effort .

Of course closing the garage door and pretending it dosen't exsist is very appealing also.

Smallkat mate the definition of lunacy ...carrying out the same tests and expecting different results
