    Well apparently there will be no buzz from the multimeter. The plug caps have built in suppressors which have a higher ohm limit than the multimeter therefore no buzz. I didn’t know that!

  • Bill B15 July 2026

    Depends on if you have copper cable (buzz) or resistance (suppressor) cable (no buzz).

  • Les Robinson15 July 2026

    More faffing about!!
    Using a multimeter on buzz mode, if I put one wire into the plug socket on the HT lead and the other wire onto the fixing screw in the dizzy cap, should it buzz? None of them do. If I take off the plug cap and put the wire onto the end of the HT lead then get a buzz.
    Is that correct?

    I don't know if a points distributor would be in exactly the same place as I don't know how the H & H does advance. It should still start though.

    I did mean to swop as a temporary measure for elimination purposes - I presumed you'd want to retain electronic ignition.

    It is easier to work on the dissy out of the car of course. Just mark the body if removing. Can always re-tim...

    The left must have agreed that your friend Angela didn't stand. They must be happy enough with Burnham who may not be as left as you think once he has to deal with the realities of office.

    Not a bad idea. With the electronic ignition the base plate in the distributor has the bit cut off that holds the wire for the points set up. However I have an old distributor that I can take the plate from. Funnily enough I have some new points, would just need a condenser.
    My current distributor is a 25D , the old one is a DM2 - I am assuming the plates are the same, they look it. <...

  • Bill B15 July 2026

    Les, the best way to eliminate the electronic ignition as the problem is to fit a points distributor, as I said higher up the thread.
