Richard, many thanks for your thoughts, I'd already wondered about that, myself, so have run a seperate lead from positive side of battery to coil, isolating switch.
No difference........................ :?
A recap of stuff tried today,..............petrol down plug holes,.....it fired on 3-4 and spluttered out. Making me think, OK, its used the fuel at plugs, as when I removed them they were not that wet,..................replaced then and wound her over, not firing at all,..........checked plugs, fuel there...............checked spark, in distributor, at points, a spark there on the low tension side,..........sparks at plugs against engine.
Really got me foxed,......................if it had been someone else who said they'd driven it in, by now I'd have been doubting them.................
To recap, I drove it off transporter into cover, a distance of approx 150 yards, then started it next day, moved 10 foot backwards, and ran out of juice. This was around 5 weeks ago.....................
Frustration is not the word,...........here.
Again, thanks for all replies.
Andy
