Afternoon all,

So, in an effort to get the '3 started after getting it back from the ex, I
have seemed to have hit a roadblock of sorts.

She won't start :-(

What have I done so far:
- new battery :-)
- engine turns over but no evidence of catching
- there is voltage at the +ve side of the coil ( +ve earth still ).
- replace the points and condensor
- no broken wires inside the dizzy, checked for resistance
- using another coil
- pulled the plugs and while a little foil not too bad, cleaned and regapped
- for fuel at the moment using a little quick start, just to see if she would
catch.

What is next? Could it be a bad cap and wires? How do you check?  What else is
there to look for?

Thanks
David Templeton
