Hi Bill I'm deliberately posting this back to the list to tell you about another of my car's symptoms. You can mail me anytome on webmaster@xxxx I took the car out for a spin on a sunday afternoon - a SUNNY, warm sunday. On arrival back, I decided to give her a wash. This included a good hose down, and more than a little spray of the engine bay. Sure as god made little apples, she wouldn't start immediately afterwards. I waited 5 minutes (hot engine remember) and she fired first time. To be honest, there's not much "electrics" actually involved here! Something's getting wet, and it's almost certainly the dizzy. How I have no idea - unless the cap's been cracked as John suggested (looked fine in October, but a number of 20-year-old parts on my car have gone wrong in the "shake-down" time since!). It's certainly not an expensive part to replace anyway. Just haven't got around to it yet. My ignition circuit is working fine - mine will cough on 2 cylinders when cranking, but won't fire up. Next time it happenns I am going to try a direct 12v across the coil.
