Melting points plastic heel

<< < (2/2)

Bowie:
A bad earth/short?

Are you sure you have then fitted right?

Mudlark:
Kinda guess on this one as I haven't messed with points for years

It sounds like you have some kind of wiring fault as your points when closed are passing current causing the spring to heat up instead of just dumping the charge from the coil



Do you have the coil wired correctly are there any wet shorts in the ignition wiring?

JIM 2B:
hi, you need balast resistor i had the same problem years ago took me ages to work it out fitted a balast and no more problem. ;)
