You did your home work ..... As I'd written about it in the past
It's so I can choose what horn I want to us
Normal or klaxon

Hi there.
I don't normally post any thing on here but just wanted to say I have been watching gerrys progress for the last 2 years.
You have been a great inspiration to me and many others.
I can't wait to see him running. what a great journey you have made.
Many thanks you have kept me going when I thought about giving up on mine.
Hope to see him one day.
Ricky

Nice one Mark, how sweet does that look!
after all this time you're so nearly there, ready for the next part of the journey
driving out of your driveway......
you must be like a bottle of pop......or a shaken up bottle of Bud

Fuel in Gerry
Battery charged
Connect wires to engine
Connect battery
Try to start engine ........
Smoke coming from dizzy
Pop the cap off and I'd cooked the points
FB ed the photo and asked why
Answer !...... I had the wires on the coil the wrong way around and cooked the points
I find the Ssvc FB very handy as I can get an answer very quickly
Well I did say I'm learning at this engine stuff hehhehehe
So now wile I've screwed it all up I'm going to fit electric ignition ...... So I'll order that and wile I wait for it to turn up I'll connect the heater exchangers and do a few other thing....
So a school boy error slows the finishing stage ....... But that's life
