Hi Grumpy,
Yes I can see exactly where you are coming from and yes it does seem very much of a merry go round syndrome. I have pretty much ruled out Carby issues as it's just so clean and perfect inside the B.10.2 and especially after doing a clean out with just about nothing foreign to be found put the issue right back to electrical. If a replacement coil was available then I would simply do that but there's nothing out there to be had so eventually I might have to find someone that could do a coil refurbishment. I really just want to keep the Villiers 412 H2 that's originally fitted on the machine. Yes I can hear the rumblings saying, put a Honda on it and happy days, but that's not what this project is all about for me.
I made a promise to the previous owner that I would restore it and supply her pictures of it as the family has photos of her and her dad with the machine when she was a little tacker and I guess I want to honour that promise along with preserving one of Sid's best made machines. Call me crazy but it's as simple as that I guess.
Cheers,
BB.
