Well, I never HAVE  figured out how to get women started dependably, but I would stop staring at her points.
Go to a jewelry store or lingerie.
Perfume is chancy but small being works as well as anything. 
Hope that helps......

Afternoon all,

So, in an effort to get the '3 started after getting it back from the ex, I
have seemed to have hit a roadblock of sorts.

She won't start :-(

What have I done so far:
- new battery :-)
- engine turns over but no evidence of catching
- there is voltage at the +ve side of the coil ( +ve earth still ).
- replace the points and condensor
- no broken wires inside the dizzy, checked for resistance
- using another coil
- pulled the plugs and while a little foil not too bad, cleaned and regapped
- for fuel at the moment using a little quick start, just to see if she would
catch.

What is next? Could it be a bad cap and wires? How do you check?  What else is
there to look for?

Thanks
David Templeton
