You could get a dizzy + dizzy cap from a scrappy for real cheap. Also try replacing the plug leads, if they look too ugly  :sick:

where can he find a new driver then  :laugh:

Bastard lol!

Maybe it has had enough and called it a day by losing compression.

:grin: :grin:

shady have u tried spraying wd40 in the dizzy?

Is it safe to do that? Lol! Should I try and clear any moisture first then spray WD40 in it?

Mikester is right.. WD-40 repels the moisture..

WD-40 stands for Water Displacement and was perfected on the 40th attempt

new dizzy and rotor arm will be pennies from your local GSF/ECP

check all conx with HT leads, battery connection etc

I never knew that was what WD40 stood for, you learn something new every day. :)

I'm hoping it'll all be sorted tomorrow, if not, looks like it'll be the AA guy telling me what needs to be done/changed, and we will go from there, I hope this things runs until August, then I can scrap it.  :evil:
