Bruce:
Thanks for the advice. Yes it is the most practical approach. I was concerned regards the low voltage output and the possibility of resistance in a soldered joint in a HT lead, But you have done it and had success so I will do the same. Thank You very much.
I will be checking out the compresion problem tomorrow and will also inspect the flywheel to see if the Key has become dislodged due to the hammering when trying to get the nut of. Also will check out the blade holder and the spacer to see if there is any shine on the surfaces which would indicate looseness. I dont really think there would be any as it is as ex factory but the unit has had a lot of abuse and neglect. Can you imagine that two different blades were being used !!!!!!!!!! resulting in the mounting holes being damaged, which will incur some more welding which fortunately I can do.
One question - Is there any way of checking the ignition module and its output. I'm told it's 1.5Volts ????? I think its a bit more than that. I do have a multimeter. The reason I ask this question is I do not want to reassemble the unit to find the ign module faulty and then have to disassemble it, for as you know the poprivet would need to be drilled out which can only be done with the motor off the base plate. Do you think it would be a good idea to replace the piston rings whilst I have it dismantled ???
