I put out an SOS this morning because my SV would not start and
there was no spark at # 1 and 2 cylinders. Jarrid and Jim Leach guessed
correctly that the points were not opening properly ( Pertronix unit now
on order) and I made an interesting discovery along the way. I wanted to
turn the engine to watch the points open and remembered my brother
telling me there was a button on the back of the starter relay on his
Triumph that will advance the engine. Sure enough, we have the same
thing. The thing I don't understand is why, with the ignition key off,
was there sparking at the points?
