Arseflaps... Melted the whole wire from battery to alternator, breathed in about 2lb of molten plastic in the process of trying to undo the lead. Got spark, got fuel, bastard thing will not start, just popping and the occasional couple of decent fires. Tunnel rams make em draw like an asthmatic octogenarian smoker.

Think it's cos the battery has been stood six months, i seem to remember it doing something similar when it was first built, not winding over quick enough...
As far as i know, there's a lovely man from Codland bringing a timing light tomorrow, i aint worried yet.
