Is a re wire (by professional) feasible without removing belly pans. If it is any recommendations for someone to do the job. I am in South Wales

I’ve got a spark. I’ve put the plug against the metal and can see a visible good spark. Definitely got fuel to the carb. I’m starting to think the dizzy is kapput. I’ve also checked TDC so the dizzy is set up right.
