dbwr 'Bolter D Joined: Nov 2016 Posts: 58 Co	A bit of a newbie on this particular engine (235) but I just changed the starter - while reconnecting the green and purple ( I know they have better names, but ..) the green wire fell to the ground. Wait, what ? That was just on the coil ... Turns out vibration and dry air made that wire super brittle. Checked the other side of coil - to - distributor : it too running on 1 strand of multi-strand twisted wire. ( how was it even running ?) All good now. Don't overlook simple stuff. 1960 C20 Platform
