Hi
I have succesfully installed a 123electronic ignition into my 500, which has a 126 650cc engine. Took a while to realise that I was not differentiating between TDC of the two cylinders, but a quick swap of the HT leads on the dizzy and all is well.
I'm just back from a 10 minute drive, after which I retuned the carby - the 123 seemingly allows for a leaner mixture, potentially highlighting poor timing with the old dizzy. However, throughout the drive, the <G> light was always on.
I'm aware of Matt's Dad's very helpful sticky PDFs on all matters electrical, but I thought I would just ask for any input on any obvious failings I may have fallen foul of in replacing a dizzy that would cause the problem, in particular because I'm even less au fait with electrical matters than mecahnical matters!
Thank you all!
Steve
