Driving a 50 MPH no problems the ignition light comes stays on engine stops . Starter works but no engine power'

any ideas or other post i can look at

Starter works - no engine power? Do you mean - the starter turns the engine but it won't start? Is anything else electrical working - lights/horn ?? I suspect a wire has come off (or burned out) at the ignition switch - if lights etc still work, then it will be a white wire that's broken. If all electricals have failed - then look for a brown wire disconnected.

Low tension wire come off the coil/distributer?

The red light wouldn't come on......at least not until the engine revs dropped low.

The engine revs would drop quickly if the coil was disconnected.

Yes - and the red light would glow until the dynamo stopped - hence my comment re wire off Ign switch etc, But need to know if anything else works!

Thanks all it was the coil very old conection its now new

Hopefully it wasn't the coil itself....... just the connection ???

This was definately the coil, it blew the innards out.

Must have had a bump - allowing the oil to run out!

This is not uncommon with these new Lucas coils...
