A while back I fitted a new ready built-up points plate from DSS, the one with the back plate cables points and condensers already fitted. Thought it was a good idea as the original cables were very frayed.
On a run out yesterday it decided to start misfiring so badly I was lucky to make it home. Checked it this morning and it wont start on 2&3. So looking at the corresponding points the anvils are out of parallel by miles, only making contact on the outer edges and are therefore very burnt. Top quality gear Mr Silvers is turning out there, lasted a whole 1000 miles. On checking, the other set are exactly the same.
After a good clean and reset I got it running okay just to prove it was the points. Serves me right for buying c***y pattern parts again, lost count now of how many times the Bitsa nemesis has bitten me. So anyone thinking of paying Silvers for one of these pattern items, DONT. This is the genuine one to buy:
