Thanks Greg, But I live in a different world, Make do and mend, Some say bodge !, I have a few "D" distributors under the bench, Always liked them, Got caught out once and had to buy a Rita, It's on my ex L/ning rep,
Never liked it.
I worry about it all the time, Leave a lead off and it will pop the magic box !.
The "D" Dist' can do a lot of miles, Just on the battery.
Talking to Ron yesterday, He thinks his Mag' is playing up, So I said he could have one of my Dist',
We have always shared bits.
I don't have a single type cam for the Dist', can you still buy them ??, I have one but it looks home made, The Dwell may be not good,
So that is why I am thinking of wasted spark.
Then I remembered seeing Len's Bike, With no Dist' cap !, Many years ago and talking to him, My Head is going from Ron's Comet to the twin lead coil I have just fitted to my Special, I am not good with electrics, Just bluff my way around !, I am also thinking about doing the same thing for my 560, If it ever gets built !.
Ron has a 12v Alternator, So to me the Dist' is the quickest and cheapest and best way out, He may have to buy a Fibre gear, But it is up to him.
Cheers Bill.
