Hi,

My daughter, Jessica, bought a purple mini 1000. Customised etc!
However, last night it decided to stop working. I have bought a new
battery, replaced the rotar arm and distributor cap, but I'm still not
getting a spark? Any ideas on trouble shooting would be welcome?
Thanks for your help.

Clive

HT lead, the list goes on,

Check the point gap. should be .015" and if you crank it over you
should see the spark across the points - if not then look further into
the ign. system.

I still reckon its something to do with the colour if it ain't gettin
the spark :)

Hi Rob,

It was the coil that was faulty. I have replaced the battery,coil,rotar
arm and distrib cap. My daugter said it runs better than ever now!
