    Have you tried turning it over with the centre lead from the dissy near an earth?

    If that sparks then the coil and hall sender are good and you need to look at the plugs cap and leads, if it doesn't then you need to suspect the hall sender in the dissy and the coil.

    There is a test for the dissy involving an LED, you shove one down the back of the plug on the dissy and crank it. As it spins the output is enough to light up the LED, proving it is OK.

    If you are stuck with substitution then a coil would probably be easiest.

    Imparts on Main North Rd probably have one on the shelf.

    Whereabouts in Adelaide do you live?

    I cant seem to find a listing for IMPARTS. So far best price I have had in Adelaide is $170. I can get on for $58 shipped AUD from the states. For that difference I think it may be worth waiting the week or 2. Has anyone been able to find one cheaper locally in adelaide.
    cheers

    Ended up buying off EBAY USA. $60 AUD delivered. Its my spare car so not really in a hurry. Thanks for the responses. I took my ld one out today, seems as if it was arcing up where the lead snaps on to the pin. The arc was then continuing on the outer part of the ceramic cone and arcing on the outer of the pack as well. Must have created a minute hole in the cone. Dont know why that would happen. The lead snaps on tightly. Is this a common fault with the packs or do they fail for other reasons.
