Ok I'm trying to get my S2 started, it's been a while since I
played with a points setup petrol car!!
The old grey cells are getting a bit tired and forgetful..
2 thing are obviously wrong
1, no spark, although I have power at the coil?
2, not a problem yet as I'm gravity feeding the carb but the
electric fuel pump seems dead?
A splutter with some easy start would be a step in the right
direction.

serves you right for buying a petrol - thats what the bastards
are like.
Screw driver opening and closing points when ig is on - should
spark.
If not praps coil is knacked

Fuel pump might just need a "tap" with something blunt to remind
it to move :rolleye0012:
As for the ignition as Alex says, coil- to disi, check the
leads, then lever the points open should be a spark. if yes
there, reset the gap, cap back on, take each plug out, reset the
gaps while you are there, check for sparks there. If nothing I
would check the condenser.
Also worth trying at night with the lights of as you can see
where the spark is leaking (ie old cables/ crack disi cap)!
Then junk it and get a lecy disi! :executioner:
