That's what I tried to tell him. But he told me it must be ballasted back towards the switch. This would mean everything powered from the ignition switch is then ballasted. Maybe that's why my wipers are so slow and sh*t (or that could be that they are just slow and sh*t) I don't think it is. Even if that was the case, it wouldn't expalain why the engine does spin when the dizzy is in one place but doesn't spin when in another place.
He said he would send out a new module. I then aksed if they could fit it. They said they don't usually fit euqipment but they would make an exception.
At least this way I can show them exactly what is happening. I can fit it in front of them. (if I am fitting it incorrectly) then thats not a problem, I am man enough to say oops and say thanks when they do it right. However, the fact I can put my old dizzy back in and time it by sound (when checked using the gun) and its perfect suggests I know what I am doing.
I have never encountered this type of problem before. Until I read the other post at the start of this thread no one else had said this was an issue. Does this point to a bad batch of some components, maybe the module, maybe the advance mechanism? Weirdly, if the engine did fire, it ran better than it ever has.
I will let you know how it goes on sat.
