I always had faith in "misty blue" and after a bit of a clean up along with cleaning the points with an emery bourd the ole girl nearly fired ! a bit of a cough and splutter but definatly possitive....i have put the battery on charge...and cant wait to give it another go in a couple of days time....

Agreed, you don't NEED electronic ignition (or points in the case of what I am advocating) to get the engine running & usable, it just makes the old points/condenser system (with the issue of today's VERY sub standard components) redundant & makes a big difference (in both cases where I have used it) in the engine starting - for the better!

It is of course easy to swop it back at any time should the need arises.
