Malc,
Just a suitable donation to the MSA Trust (charity) will be fine.

We used to arrange bbs transport to deliver parts but less active I guess these days.
I remember Guy orchestrating the movement of a hydrolastic suspension pump Dalek that ended up in Australia ! I gave it bed and breakfast for a few months on its journey !

I’ll mail you.

Greybeard,

I was looking for fuel lines recently and found this little fountain of information.

The SAE J30 R9 spec includes a requirement for "sour gasoline"

No Richard, I haven't sourced a pedal - that is my very next job - how much do you want ?

Thanks

Lidl were recently selling an OBD code reader for £20 - with lots of good reviews, but an OBD code reader might only read the legislated stuff, I have VCDS and tbh it pays for itself the first time you change the oil as you can reset the interval.

Refitted the original just to try the switch to make sure that wasn’t part of the problem, it seems to be ok - I think.
Next step is to fit the new ignition module and try that. Might only be Friday before I can do that though.

On a previous failure had no spark from the main ht lead from the coil. Have fitted new dissy cap and rotor arm - no difference.

You say you've refitted the original ignition module? Do you mean that or is it a typo i.e. why not fit NEW module?

A problem with AI I've found recently is that the answer can depend on what you ask, my initial question didn't provide the information I already knew so I rephrased the question to prompt it and got the information I knew about. IIRC prior to AI I got the full information from somewhere. The case I was asking about was speed control of PSC motors, which can be done by voltage control by thyristor...

Just the thing to have in the workshop in a case behind glass, "break in case of emergency". Reassuringly expensive but to be expected from SKF as they don't produce cr*p.

I thought you'd established that when the engine stopped, you had a spark from the coil lead but not at the plug lead, suggesting either rotor arm or dissy cap.

Nice looking piece of kit.
