"Hope you can help please.
Had a really great day out but whilst practising slow speed manoeuvres one of the engines just stopped whilst in neutral. It will stubbornly refuse to start there was no adverse noise or misfiring beforehand but I did notice the charge voltage suddenly stopped charging a little while before. I thought this was in initially a loose V Belt but this was not the case and battery is fully charged.
I am going through the Seloc manual for testing the Renix Ignition and so far all looks good but I cannot remove the coil yet because of rust and so I have sprayed penetrating oil on the screws and will have to wait next weekend to continue further.
But … hoping for some clues. I have a set of spark testers and I am getting a good spark at the coil but it looks like only no.1 cylinder has spark.
My guess is distributor cap and or rotor arm, but would welcome any views."
