Hey,
Cut a long story short my bus is broken again, got towed back to my house with it by the RAC, he had not worked on one in so long he didnt really have a clue. The timing was way way off thus 2 foot flames from the exhaust before it died. Got a friend to have a look at the enigne with me. Checked for spark, fuel everything. Took the spark plugs out cleaned re-gapped. Then set the dizzy to the location its states in the haynes manual, piston was coming up on cylinder one at the right time. Engine will turn over but not even attempt to try and fire, also occasionally when trying it back fires. There is a really good spark at the coil end but weak at plug end. Somebody has told me this could be a coil fault?
Can anybody shed even the smallest bit of light on this situation, if not i may have to put it into a garage and i'm not exactly minted at the minute.
Cheers
Mark
