T16 running problems

[andrew honychurch]

Ok. I have not had a chance to
Check on the various items we discussed as yet but I am already some way down the road on this as it's a known fault. Some years ago a friend had a brand new T16 out of a crate. Yes really. Mitch Hickman some if you will know him. His did the same and he got rid of it, I think to the Budge Collection from memory. That was way back in the late 70s

Anyway, I am sure it's the dizzy so I am going to invest in a Mallory three bolt with Petronix Electronic ignition. I know all the risks of an electronic module failing but I am not using this to commute in!

I will report on results. Thanks for the advice

On another note, perhaps worthy of a new thread I have given up on my regulator box. In fact both mine and another take off neither if which work.

On the T16 the regulator looks like a Jeep Delco but has a clamp over it and the contacts are sprung copper plates. I want to replace it with a modern insert and wonder whether anyone can recommend a suitable kit? I know the dynamo is working fine . I have bought these for old motor bikes Perhaps they are available for big boys toys?
