Hi Guys, not able to get to the mower just now, as the boss say's " This bathroom won't tile itself y'know!" but do get to read the posts.
Seems I have an engine that has been modified over the years so it might be difficult to establish just what year it was manufactured Great when you think of the life it must have lead, hope I can do it justice.
Hi tezza, saw your reno. Just brilliant! If I can get anywhere close I'll be a happy man, really good job.
Yeah new spark plug! I suppose the frustrating thing for me is I have had this motor running. I bought it several years ago as a runner and through moving houses etc I left it in my sons shed for about 3yrs, and now of course no spark. I've cleaned up the flywheel and points, replaced the condenser and as far as I can tell (visual inspection and multimeter) the coil wiring is ok. I test the spark by clamping the plug to the head (with lead attached) and turn it over. Nothing! So I suppose its pretty much the coil?
It might sound silly but I'd just love to get it going before I strip it all down and start the reno. Think I might have to forgo all that and just get stuck into the reno. After the bathroom tiling of course! :
Cheers, finbar.
