English Newbie with sparks problem

[HDDon]

I live in Coventry which is near Stratford upon Avon.
That's where motorcycles have to turn up the wicks on their lights at night, but not too far in case they set fire to their thatched mudguards.

Isn't that Shakespeare country? I'm looking forward to a video of your bike up and running. Good to have you on the forum Zen

Yes you're right it is Shakespeare country, the county of Warwickshire, thanks for the welcome. I too am looking forward to a video of my bike up and running!

Meriden? that would be a Triumph then. They didn't leak oil they were just marking their territory.

Hah--a motorcycle marking it's terrier-tory...! Now I know what the purpose of the ol' Harley drip oiling system was all about...! :newsmile100:

I'm hoping that as this is my 5th post I can include photies, this is the bike that's currently breaking my heart ......:bigsmiley15:

This is me on a good day ...

And this is my Fatboy, pretty standard sort of thing

Back to the issue in hand. It's just occurred to me that although the first condensers I ever tangled with were about the size of a cotton reel and lived inside the distributor of my Triumph Herald, it doesn't mean they still are. Could it possibly be the the small plastic do-hickory circled in this photo? Although having looked at The Accel site they still look like cotton reels just smaller.

I'm off now for a slice of London fog and to enjoy my crumpet.

Zen..those rides are really sweet but from your angle of observation your missing quite a bit of the big picture. You should try to straighten up before you put your wet tongue on 12v DC.

Having recently reached the age of forty-sixteen the yellow bike has taught me that my knees buckle quite easily when I get down to peer over the top of my specs at small items low down (my optician made me try bi-focals but I forget which part of the lens to squint through)

However getting into a suitable position in order to rock my centre of gravity back over my feet entails scrabbling around the garden like a bear cub until I'm jammed against a wall which allows me to haul my svelt 184lbs northwards.
A quick examination of my clothes then reminds I should pick up after the dog before undertaking any routine work on my bike.

I love your sense of humor Zenataomm.
