J5KE F 0 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Coil packs have a tendency to show little sparks in the dark if it's pants, but not likely if new..!people will chuckle at this coming from me but have u checked the plugs and leads..? Link to post Share on other sites

rodney 17 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yes the blowing zorst will contribute...Cold weather highlights weakness in the electrical system as it has to work harder to produce the same level of elastiktrikkery...So yes you need to check the usual suspects of dizzy/coilpack, Plug leads and plugs... Basically everything has bigger gaps as they shrink in the cold... I'm sure you can understand... .. so anything which relys on a gap or has a gap will generally be bigger so listening to what you're saying basically once everything is warm then they are all as they should be... so yup try these basics and then we can go from there...

dru 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 checked all today coil pack seems fine but plugs look like theyve seen better days, so leads and plugs are the next change on the list , but i rev the engine as far as i could whilst it was cold and stood still and it did stall and then struggld to start again? took a few goes but got it running but missing for a bit, its also used a bit of oli and water in the last few days????
