Ignition amplifier?

From memory it should either be on the wing next to the coil or on the side of the dizzy with either two or three wires going to it -much much much cheaper than a new dizzy.

Check the reluctor clearance inside the dizzy as well.....


Plus ALL wires -these can get easily broken just through wear and tear...

I'm thinking ignition ampliefier too, but make sure the battery is topped right up, mine won't start either if the battery is a bit too flat.
