Not starting
« on: September 27, 2013, 12:44:41 am »
Iv had a strange one.
My G40 has been running fine with no issues at all, then i was on the way home from work the other day and it started to cough (only a couple times). I got her home, checked over her and all was fine, so i parked her up in the garage for the night. The next morning she turned over fine, but wouldnt start, i checked and there was no spark. I thought it must be the coil as the rev counter has also been playing up but afer a new one, still the same. I checked the spark again and found if i crank it for long enough, it sparked but by then the pots were flooded so it wound'nt start.
Any ideas im thinkinking distributor.

Sounds like the hall sender in the dizzy has given up.

Heritage quoted me £130 just for the hall sender which had to come from Germany with a month's waiting list, so I stuck a 6n one on. And the stealers told me it was obsolete. GSF wernt much help either
