    Ok although it ran fine on my test drive and was fine yesterday, it wouldn't run properly on LPG again today. Idles fine on LPG and runs fine on petrol but never backfires.
    I'm going to assume that the LPG filter is clogged (or something else in the line) and therefore can't supply enough LPG.

    I've closed the tank valve and I'm going to take it in for an LPG service now that I work nearby to where I had it installed. Won't be til January sometime so til then it is running on petrol for me

    Well well well. I'm going to say that it is definitely a spark issue now.

    Driving home just now on petrol and stopped at a servo for some more. Went to start it and it wouldn't. I eventually got it started and it ran like crap with a misfire. Sometimes it idles fine and other times it will barely idle. Taking off from a standstill you need to slip the clutch to keep it running but once the revs are up it is ok.
    That is the opposite to the LPG though. LPG idles fine but won't drive without a massive misfire feel.

    I'll check the leads out tomorrow night with the water in a spray bottle thing.

    This has all happened since I changed my rotor button for a Bosch one and maybe it is a coincidence but surely it should at least run. As said earlier it looks like it is the same one that came out.

    Not happy Jan.

    A Bosch box will be marked "Bosch packed" meaning its actually a chinese cheapie. Use genuine manufacturer's content only!

    Well I ordered a Lucus rotor button from Karcraft yesterday. Should fix things I think. Although I do wish I had just bought one in the beginning.

    Justin,

    The possibilty that your distributor module could be breaking down is high, after stopping at the servo heat soak can play a part in module/ spark breakdown. Since the current hot weather is a constant also in this scenario I would also consider this aspect

    Thanks JC. I've previously moved that to the inner guard and mounted it to a heatsink. Been that way for a while but still a possibility.

    I actually glued my old rotor button back together. Not sure if I mentioned that already. I refitted it yesterday and it actually runs better than with the new one. Not perfect but enough of a difference to make me think it is the rotgor.

    Yup, having to break them apart to get them off the shaft is pretty well the only way sometimes

    Brings tears to your eyes knowing how much they are worth
