HOTSHOT III thanks for the reply. I am pretty sure the coil is knackered. I tested it with the multimeter and got a reading of .0005 ohm on the primary and nothing at all on the secondary so I think the coil and the plug lead/cap are both knackered. There are a few little jobs that need doing but I do not want to spend money on them until I get it running. I am going to price one up at Fowlers as you suggested. The last time I started the bike it ran for about 20 minutes and was idling nicely as it always did then it cut out and would not start. I still had spark then. I took the carb off and cleaned it but did not find anything wrong and then the battery died and it has not been started since so I need a spark to see if the carb is ok. The bike has only done 11,300 miles and is in generally good order so I hope I can get it running again. I was planning to MOT the bike then sell it but I might change my mind and keep it. Just checked Fowlers but they are out of stock.
