Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Its cranking over, firing occasionally, shakes the whole car and is basically relying on the starter to keep it going. Same on LPG as Petrol, spark is there but weak. Replaced the coil, no difference. checked points look fine, checked leads they are all fine as well....

lol any ideas?

your timing sound like its 180 out pull ur dizzy out and check the drive gear if its plastic most likely its missing some teeth

Replace the condenser, mate. Had exactly the same thing happen on my maverick, I replaced the condenser and fixed it. I've since pi$$ed the points off altogether and put pertronics electronic ignition in. Far better than points.

i replaced the dizzy about a month ago and has been running fine up untill now

i ended up creating a wire from the battery to the coil to boost the spark and it got me started so i could drive it to the workshop where i can test the condenser and change the plugs

check your balast resistor also.

lol its my fathers business ... iv been trying to do as much as possible on my car without his help

Your ballast resistor is that white ceramic block looking thing, usually beside your coil. You can bypass it but it will burn your points out quicker.

thanks guys for your suggestions... it ended up being points they weren't opening enough .. all fixed ... wheeling tomorrow
