Both i reckon , twoz on my commute home from work , whilst at a set of traffic lights waiting for the green light , when my trusty sd steed died on me , so i pushed it across a dual carriageway in the sheffield rush hour , then began to try and restart it , starter and engine spinning freely with a weak spark and fuel getting through to carbs but still no engine start , so i waited for the rac (15 mins , pretty good , and then the recovery 2 hours pretty s**t ) , my plan over the weekend is to swap coils with the cm to see if there,s any joy , any other ideas anyone , However during my 2+ hours of standing in the evening cold several pedestrians made some admirable comments on my scruffy workhorse of a superdream and i found myself staring in admiration of the said vehicle , is this the reaction of a mad man , nuff said

It is bloody cold out there, I will admit....
CDI could be dying mate. Or coil yes. At least certain parts are compatible with the CM and you can swap out the easiest parts first in order to find the problem.
Worst case it's the genny. But I suspect CDI or coil.

That's the thing. They make nice ornaments anyway so it need not necessarily run in order to get the pleasure....it's a win win.

Could be the generator, mine had a weak spark and died. The genny was the problem with mine so I swapped for another and that cured it.

How did you get on did you solve the problem, just curious was it the coil, cdi or something else?
