I recently bought a new electronic dizzy and coil from simonbbc. I started to fit it and all was looking good. On removal of the old one I dropped it and it got hooked on one of the pipes below. Anyway went ahead and fitted the shiney new one and coil and turned her over......she fired up immediately and then died, What had I done wrong I thought[?] I tried 180 degrees about, HT leads in another order 180 degrees about, I even managed to get an electric shock which made me jump and banged my head on the bulkhead:I I resorted to putting the old dizzy back with the old coil. Still no joy, now nothing was working
I decided to call it a night at about 10.30pm and went to bed to think what I had done wrong.
The next day I was back on it, loaded the new dizzy back in with the coil and still nothing! I happened to glance at my fuel filter and noticed it was empty, how could this be I thought, maybe the fuel pump has gone, but that would be quite a coincidence! however on turning the car over again there was obviously no fuel pumping up. So maybe the dizzy was OK after all, I thought I needed to investigate the fuel pump further, I reached down and to my horror there it was, the fuel pipe completely detached from the fuel pump!!!!!! It got dislodged when I dropped the old dizzy:I Connected up and........varrrrroooooom After a little timing she is now running better than ever
