School boy error

[Alfie14]

On checking the ignition to try solve bunny hopping in 1st gear l removed contact points without making a note of which order the yellow wire from the condenser and the black wire from the coil go, either side of the spring or nylon spacer? After you stop laughing can anyone help.

Both go on top of spring, & under the nylon spacer.

Hi Lebro

Wiring to the points are OK. The car was starting before l remove the points but it  won't fire up now, l getting a spark at the points, any suggestions on what to check next.

Any chance of a photo of how you have it fitted Andy?

Hi Rob

Hope this helps.

That looks right I think -  the two wires to the condenser and the coil should be in contact with the spring but insulated from the pillar.  There shouldn't really be a spark from the points though - the condenser is supposed to stop that.  

Probably it is just the camera angle but your points spring looks very bowed towards the dizzy case. It ought to look like this:

Thanks Rob, I start with a new condenser and points.
