Sold it for a home deposit, purchased another BN.4 and drove it every day.Then went crazy and purchased a car that had been hammered around Sebring for 12 hours and not having learnt my lessonI purchased another Healey that did three LeMans 24 hour and two Sebring 12 hour races all fitted with Lucas stuff and they have never stopped. What is going on? Maybe it is time to identify the reliable repair / retailer outlets ( and there are many about from the input I see on the list ) and pay the price they have learnt from experience to select the better product.</div><div>On another occasion I was tuning the BN.4 and it only had 4 spark plugs in the head. I was lazy and turned the engine on the starter to check the valve clearance and bless my soul the old Lucas and SU system started the engine with two cylinders pumping air and unburnt fuel</div><div>When I purchased the second BN.4 it had been freshly serviced by the not so well informed ex-owner working at a service station. Two weeks later the car had been performing well but then would not start. It turned out the good old Lucas system had fried the two stroke lawn mower spark plugs the before mentioned service station attendant had fitted!</div><div><br></div><div>I even drove a the 3000 home 90 km with the rotor button held together with a piece of electrial tape. Good old reliable Joseph Lucas.</div><div><br></div><div>Joe</div></body></html>
