Picture less update as I wasn't in to much of a hurry to stop and take them ha

Went and Picked up a Dizzy on sunday from Aaron, turned out to be electonic so was rather stoked.

After recovering from the night before I wired it up in the afternoon, still couldn't get it to go even though i followed the circuit diagram for it and the spark plugs where sparking :thumbsdown:

Had a wee play on the net trying to find info but all said the same as the the diagram i already had.

Finally realised the dizzy's had different mount plates on the bottom so dizzy wasnt spun around enough to spark at right time.

chucked the plate of my old dizzy on and she fired up straight away with the dizzy in the new position.!

Purrs now no rough idle or spluttering at low RPM :thumbsup:

also came across this while i was looking for diagrams

anybody done this or anything similar?

Ya gotta love the feeling that comes with a brand new wof sticker!
Although since this beast was only recomplied recently, you'd expect it to pass fairly easily.
I see you driving this around quite a bit. (Although it's pretty hard to miss!)
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............

Yea, best feeling ha but yea I wasn't expecting anything major to need to be repaired
I have been driving it a lot since I got the engine back together!. Just enjoying it and giving it a good run to make sure i fixed everything right. everything seems to be in order.

Should probably give the daily driver a run soon though ha
