Oh dear eBay buyer lives a fair distance away 250 miles he was the highest bidder at £69. Didn't hear from him for a few days and said can he pick it up in a months time as lost his license. Told him I be away then and suggested I relist it.
No further reply. Seems eBay just like farce book for selling. Or is it because I don't wear my tinfoil hat I attract them.

If he really wanted it, there are companies that will pick up, and deliver. Another time waster.

Well thought I would look at the electrics and see what the problem was. The mechanic over the garage where I was doing it took one look at the wiring and laughed and reckoned it was worse than Peugeot car electrics which he hates.   |

It does not look a whole lot worse than my DongFang. I cleaned it up a bit but there is only so much you can do with spaghetti. Those connectors are not weatherproof. The typical connectors are cheap gold flashed crap metal that won't hold a crimp or a connection, -junk. They can be improved with aftermarket connectors but even then the wire is brittle dirty impure copper crap like the old VW's had.

Other than a match in the petrol tank FrankenMech. I have been thinking about enlargement of the 2 decent pics of the colour wiring diagrams one with the basic cdi circuit and the one with the immobiliser circuit on finding my other brain cells and trying to strip it down to a basic circuit. Will put it to the back end of summer and find sometime to go over the wiring diagram's shortly. I need to find decent text books on electric's for automotive use as my skills are a bit rusty. I use to wire old British bikes when I was a lot younger 40 yrs ago without manuals from scratch. |

They are not really that difficult, pretty basic actually. Basic electrical 'complete circuit' skills are all that is needed. A test light or analog voltmeter are good tools. Your 'ancient' wiring skills should do just fine. The big difference is the magnetic pickup for the CDI trigger -vs- points.

Those have been the same for 50+ years.

BTW, I have tried throwing matches into an open pan of gasoline, -they go out. The vapor above the liquid is 100% gas fumes with no oxygen so the match goes out. It takes fuel + air + heat/flame to ignite. Now spill that pan or tank of petrol on the ground...
