Gentlemen, many thanks for your inputs.
Dizzy Doc is currently closed for a period but a ‘reddish’ rotor has solved the issue and I’m up and running again.
Same lesson every time - do the checks and start with the cheap parts

Re: Just won't start
Thanks, I'm out of time now but I'm sure I've got a new rotor arm somewhere.
I remember choosing to continue with the current one as there was lots of issues with rotor arms with rivets in them.
I'll report back.

Re: Just won't start
King lead removed at dizzy gives strong spark when held against the block.

Simmitc, I believe that’s all your checks. Any thoughts on where to look next?
Thanks

Ignition on 12volts between end of small wire from coil to dizzy - just to be sure there is continuity

Re: Just won't start
Ignition on, no reading across coil terminals. This may be right.

Re: Just won't start
I’ve run your checks (as best I understand them) as follows:
1. Disconnected small wire from coil to dizzy as attached photo with ignition on, shows 12 volts

Re: Just won't start
After a quick check, this looked like the problem - centre electrode in dizzy cap missing.
Quick dash to SW London best auto parts store for £10 replacement.
Sadly still won’t fire.

Re: Just won't start
Gentlemen,
Sincere apologies this went very much on the back burner.
My daughter's return from Uni has brought renewed focus.
I've got an hour before kick off.
I'll let you know.

Re: Just won't start
Thanks for prompt responses. I'd forgotten how helpful everyone is here. I've been busy fitting a monoshock to a Honda CB500 Four and trading correspondence on a US site - lots of hostility and insults seems to be the norm. With regard to the Morris - dizzy cap off and no spark/arking across the poi...

Just won't start
After a few years of fun and absolutely no issues, stopped and just won't start. Everything that runs off the electrical circuit is working - lights, horn, starter, heater fan, pump etc.. Turns over no problem but no spark in the dizzy. I've never had a problem with mechanicals but sparks is another...

Re: Re-wire indicator stalk?
Rather disappointed that the new flasher unit didn't work
A quick reworking of the interior of the original one (again) and I'm back in business

Re: Re-wire indicator stalk?
With a bit of a stretch I've managed to solder an extended wire to the end of the internal wire in the indicator stalk. The circuit is complete but still no repeater flashing. As my local (all those parts you can't buy any longer) shop was closed I opened up the flasher unit. Through much trial and ...
