Thanks for your reply Grump,
OK i have pulled the flywheel and other stuff off there are no loose screws and the nut on the condenser is tight, I have removed the kill wire from the condenser and will put it back together and see how it goes.
I just wanted to ask one thing first: there are 2 little slits for the wires from the coil and kill switch to enter the space where the point and condenser are: is it possible if the wires (even though they have coating on them)to cause the motor to stop creating a spark ? what do you call it grounding or shorting or something
Thanks
Pete
