well took it up my mates yard, seems it wasnt firing on number 2, spark plug and lead were shagged, got all now leads, new spark plug for number 2. put it in, seems ok, still sounds shit from the zourst (i think)
but now after turning it off and then back on to go home, its same old shit
the dizzy cap was loose and the contacts inside were dirty, and number 2 looks like its "burntout" maybe this is the problem??
if so, do i just need a new dizzy cap?
