Re: Errr I bought something 2 stroke!

Oh dear I perhaps should have mentioned that my old jump leads was a length of steel wired armour cable that was too short for a job.

Re: Errr I bought something 2 stroke!

I cut back the HT lead about an inch from the ignition coil. It looks like rot has got at least this far. Luckily it was still able to be tinned. If it was as bad as it was just a couple of inches' further down the cable it wouldn't be possible to tin it. I cut a section of cable off an old set of j...

Re: Errr I bought something 2 stroke!
