Yea , If I recall right it was 3 posn . Had the worlds most sophisticated wiring loom , a esy grands worth , for nix as a favour . Earths for everything , relays for everything , all the correct colour codes and fittings ,
Worthy of the Sheik of Araby .
We Shall Say No More .
But if you see one of those roatary switches like that with the side grooves , avoid it , give it a wide berth ,, RUN . Or dismantle & inspect it if you must use it .
COILS ! #^%* etc . Junk Yard coils - 90 % lucas ( car ) over 10 years old were pathetic under test , if they worked . HALF the Sports Coils ( second hand ) were unserviceable .
even IF one lookede brand new , it meant nothing . But good ones did tend to be unbattered . The odd one ( had or did ) burst . Stall parking & leave the ign ON with the contact breakers circuit unbroken
for 20 or 30 minutes .
If its only 15 itllve melted or deteriorated the wire shellack , so its useless - some time when your not wanting that .
Some twist the bakelite contact end , weeping or emptying . The oil inside is to COOL it. That should tell you something . It Generates HEAT . thats why theyre up in the wind , and water . :wink:
ANY F.B. Deleteve coil SHOULD throw a 1/2 in BLUE & WHITE spark , 15 millimeters is a LOT better . 3/8 ( 10 mm ) is how small is your willie ! pathetic , as is red/ yellow spark .
Your Granny would even have trouble with here Morrie Thou there .
A Auto Electric repair garrage should have a big electric thing the plug ( removed 0 coils into , and twist knobs and buttons and OBSERVE its capeabilities and faults . There not all robbers .
Its a tuppany test if you bring the removed coils in yourself .
Remembering most have crimp / swage lines along the case from where someones tightened the clamp screw to stop them going somewhere with vibration . on a Commando ! ? . :shock: :?
Poor earths from Paint Under the Earth Wire end fittings has been know to cause the odd spot of bother .
as does unfirm spade terminals & carbon ( supressed ) plug leads .
Most turkeys immediately fitted copper core plug leads to there S/H Triumps as soon as they got them , to cure the missfire and s*^# um erratic IDLE .
