Re: Use of E10 petrol

Thanks Geoberni - I had not been sufficiently imaginative with my own search terms! I have trawled through most of the posts but with no firm conclusions or proven certainty on the implications. Feedback idc on actual defects is going to be most helpful. In the meantime I will aim to keep fresh petr...

Re: No spark

Thanks. When with ignition on I have 12 volts at input to coil I get 12 volts at output while it is disconnected to dizzy and zero at output when connected to dizzy. However when reconnecting (when power on) the output to the dizzy terminal I get a spark whilst connecting but then can find no voltag...

Not much recent road use apart from about 30 + minutes stationary running to check all well after water pump and thermostat replacements. Then on a later short 10 minute run to nearby petrol station to to...
