Hi all,
I'm having a senior moment here I think. I have just begun working on a victa twin (500). It is in generally rough condition and if it was any other machine I would part it out and scrap the alloy base BUT i think I'll keep this one alive for a bit longer.
I have cleaned out the carby so as soon as I get spark it will be ready to go (Hopefully).
Thus far I have cleaned up the coil and flywheel magnets, changed the plugs and isolated the kill switch but I cannot get spark. I am trying to avoid taking the flywheel off at the moment as I cannot find my puller. Can someone please post a photo of the coil (So that I can see if I have my wires in the right positions etc) as when I picked it up the previous owner had unplugged everything and had it all in a bucket (Obviously he couldn't get it going).
I don't want to try removing the flywheel without a puller because I don't like my chances of finding a replacement WHEN I inevitably smash it into a million pieces.
Forgot to mention: When I first put it together I did get a very weak spark from the front plug but it died soon after.
Going on how much rust there was on the magnets and the general condition of the machine I would suggest the points probably need a good clean up BUT like I said, no puller right now and I can be rather heavy handed and impatient.
Thanks,
Pete
