distributer school boy error

[Molbyj]

Afternoon people, I wonder if you guys could help?

Ive just removed my 009 distributer to replace with one that has vacuum advance, only to find out it needs a slighlt different condensor. So ive put it back together and now I cant start it

Basicaly I haven't got a clue where to start but got a feeling its an easy fix......hopefully

Thanks, Ross

check the wire from dizzy to coil is on correct side :msn4:

Are you sure the HT leads all went back correctly?

The positions of the wires going from the dissy cap to the plugs are 90 degrees different on an 009 compared to a stock dissy. You have to shift all four of them one position round.

I didnt remove the leads, just the cap with it all the leads still attatched.

I'd start with the basics and check you have plugged it all back together right. You mention condeser is that reconnected properly
After that I would check you have a spark.

I spotted the Schoolboy error... you wrote distributer instead of distributor... now hurry along and 50 lines please ... :lol:

Do what Tricky says...he knows his stuff!

aye, that's your problem... you need to move the leads around when going to/from an 009. each 1 position anticlockwise in your situation from memory, but could be wrong.

Doh!

It was a school boy error, ive just found my problem.

When I looked at it again I noticed it didnt look like it was sitting right, took it out and put my in in and noticed it needs to locate in the slots
Located properly, tried it and it fired up

Yes I am a numpty, but im learning (the hard way)

Thanks for your replies
