jordan_meakin Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I seem to go through ignition parts like no tomorrow. Generally buy Lucas but they're just not good for longevity. Often end up with cracks or the metal parts becoming loose, had a rotor arm break, leads perish. Anyone else experience this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Have you tried an electronic ignition one had one on mine years ago when it was a petrol never had any probs, there is also the Ducelier ones but not sure what they are like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 All you can do is buy genuine and hope. Or go Megajolt using EDIS4 or similar and ditch the dizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 My understanding is that even the genuine stuff is naff nowadays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I have heard good words about this company http://www.simonbbc.com/distributors?zenid=d65dcba59c13f196d2521ebae57aba72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The Distributor Doctor sells quality parts - internet search will reveal all. Otherwise some people sell Intermotor bits - Intermotor have been around for ever making electrical components to fit Lucas - their lead set has a long king lead for a bulkhead mounted coil - Lucas seem to think it was mounted on the rocker cover and supply a short one!

Les Henson Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'd second electronic ignition. I fitted it to a petrol/ gas LTWT once and the difference was amazing. Ducellier dizzys had a bad reputation for wearing out quickly (rotor shaft bush wear). Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
