[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 124306, member: 60"] I have just fitted a new Pazon to my 650 Triumph, now because these units have a justifiable fine reputation I just fitted it and what I should have done is do a bench test on the unit itself before fitting. Its simple enough with a few crocodile leads and a battery . After fitting to the bike what I found was the plugs sparked once when I turned the ignition on but not when I touched the trigger leads together. So off it all had to come and then set up back to a simple bench test same result=faulty unit. As for starting a Big Comet I have an road Egli Comet I fitted one of my race engines into, its not easy to start (AMC box) and I am not getting any younger. I am about to revisit improving its starting with a view to perhaps selling next year. The embarrassing thing is I built it up some time ago, I am pretty certain its a big bore engine it certainly feels like it but I cant think of an easy way to check without stripping it, any non messy ideas? angled rods through the plug hole are inconclusive :oops: [/QUOTE]
