Hi All.

I have a 1965 3TA, ex Dutch Army. It is not firing on right cylinder. Checked tappets, timing, points, condensors, plug and lead. All seem OK. Any help would be appreciated.

I take it that you have a spark on that cylinder the only other thing I can think of is fuel or have you also checked the compression on that cylinder?

By the way is one of these your bike??

Cheers

Hi Steve.

Many thanks for your reply. I have a spark. The fuel seems ok. I have 90psi on each cylinder. My bike is the same as in the photos.

Regards.

Are both sets of points sparking the same, condensors are notorious, would replace those. Spray easy start down suspect barrel and see if bike fires and then runs properly. Change plugs round, still got good spark off both? Check plug leads have not got switched round.

I have fitted new points and condensors. There is two seperate 6v Coils one for each Cylinder. I will be working on it again tonight,
