Ignition light

Post by ttl347 »

After 20 odd years the engine is running again. It has been completely rebuilt and I have installed a new dynamo from mini spares, new control box, and new coil. It has been set up with negative earth.

I cannot get the ignition light to go out when the engine is running.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

All now sorted thanks. Flashed the dynamo and encourage the points in the control box and all now well.
