Powerspark / Aldon ignition
Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2018 5:05 pm
Hi All,
Investigating why the Plus 2 conked out on the A338 on the way to Romsey Boxing day, I have tested the coil, looks OK, swapped it out with a spare (tested the same as the one in the car), still no sparks.
So The only other thing is the Powerspark ignition module.
Question is, I have had two Aldon modules fail and now the Powerspark one, so has anyone else experienced failures of these things?
I am contemplating going back to condenser and points, but with the slight wear in the distributor I was getting wavering ignition firing, with the electronic one I was spot on.
Do I go again with the Powerspark? Can't remember when I fitted it, was a few years ago, but with the mileage I do per year <1000 then I can't say it has done many miles since fitting.
Opinions and advice always welcome....
