sounds like oil is leaking up thru your distributor, :undecided: dunno about this tho i presume you mean distributor cos the coil is up near the water bottle
-
no i realy mean there is like oil from the coil i dont mean pooring out but oils there the little bottle looking thig next to the water bottle where the lead runs from the distribitour cap to the coil when i took the lead of there was oil
-
thats cos your coil is oil filled matey :smiley:
just get a new coil. there not that exspensive and it is one component ruled out to solve your misfire problem.
