Dear All,
First of all this isn't on the A10, that's fine (apart from the "clonk" from the front forks on rebound....)..
Took the B33 for it's MOT in my ownership, rode there, back on a recovery trailer! The bike started fine (as usual), ticked over like a (slow) watch as usual & rode to the MOT well. It was the first long trip it had done for 10 years though..
Passed fine & then would not start, period.. The MOT place is great but deals with modern stuff mainly so I had to be recovered.
No spark of any kind.. Have substituted plug, HT lead, pickup etc from another old (also non-functioning) mag off the NH350..
Cleaned slip ring (it was already fine) and at this stage actually got a "belt" though the finger I was using to clean the ring!!! (I know, I thought it was very dead!!)
Still no spark at the plug..
So, I know there's a very good bloke who does mags & dynamos near Salisbury, but... It's not the cost, just the thought of 2 return journeys or risking things in the Royal Mail which does not appeal..
How difficult are these things to get apart? Once apart is there anything I can look at that may help?? Something failed suddenly that didn't affect the bike when it was running (I had to use the decompressorto stop it before the MOT), ie turned over fast enough it produced sparks but not when turned slowly..
All thoughts and experiences appreciated..
Thanks,
Adrian
