Hi Steve,
It's your coil. A sure sign is that all the electrics work fine except for
no spark.
I have heard that as the coil gets hot it will fail and after cooling it
will work again. I had a failure on my Ambo last year very similar to yours.
The good news is that replacing the coil is a simple fix. Go to the local
auto store and get a coil for a 69 VW Beetle. That one will work fine.
I also have a part number for a Bosch coil:
92200 81083
K12V
08
(0221119027)
I'm not sure what all the numbers mean but it should help getting you the
right one.
Good luck.....we'll see you at the rally.....Ian
| Hi, Since I'm going to be out of town for the week before the National I |
| I'd fire the trusty Eldo up and take it for a quick spin. Starts fine, I |
| it for about 1 minute with the choke on, then take it out. I make it about 1/4 mile just fine and then the engine just dies. Still have lights, and |
| starter turns the engine over just fine. No spark whatsoever when I get |
