[QUOTE="georgeyv, post: 542277, member: 22226"] I had a good crack at the engine last week, huge thanks to George (gveeeeeeee) as he basically brought a whole bus worth of spares and they're now temporarily re-homed on my engine til we work out what's doing what. When he arrived the engine turned, just. Some oil and a good clean of the spark plugs and we found no spark, so replaced dizzy, coil and leads and voila - all 3 were pretty badly hammered from sitting for so many years so happy to switch them out. The spark was good but struggled to get anything more than that - even with fuel straight into the carb it didn't make a murmur of starting, just turned and turned. Going to switch out for a spare carb and electric fuel pump and see if we can breathe some life into it. It will need pulling out anyway to sort tank/lines/electrics but I'll be happier if I know I can give it a real good once over and that it will run. [/QUOTE]
