Hi folks.
Yeah, grumpy I went back over my dismantling bench with a fine toothed
eye and didn't find it- probably lost due to uncharacteristic carelessness! My bench is a well lit rubber mat for such projects, so usually nothing escapes
.
There are two small wires and a high tension wire running from the coil. High tension is not an issue. One of the other small wires was earthed to one of the bolts holding coil in place, this remains undamaged.
It is the wire that leads up under the flywheel that was damaged. This I have repaired and is now connected to an aftermarket solid-state ignition unit. I have spark at the plug, which is clean.
I will dismantle the carburettor again, and see if the washer remains in situ.
Even if it was rich you think I'd have even a smoky-stuttering attempt at running. Not so.
It is hot here today so it might be a job for the morrow.
