Also coupled with a harley coil it runs like a dream and starts on the first turn.


As a healthy, well set-up 2cv will do on original style coil and points.

Ah, but will I buy a 1-2-3-alike & funky coil for the van?

Ellie's Sparky is still on points, and had a brand new "normal" coil a couple of years ago. I've got a 1-2-3 I won in a raffle several years ago sat on a shelf, but I've just never got round to fitting it...

You don't know what you are missing, so much smoother running

Sparky's hardly a harsh bucket of bolts. The idle could be a bit smoother, but that's because it's more than a tidge slow at the mo.

I do love flywheels that weigh about the same as a sack of anvils.

Anvils? I don't have any of these modern light flywheels.
