Stormers 'famous for losing spark' ????
Posted: Thu Mar 07, 2019 3:03 pm
I wondered if anyone can assist? I posted a recent topic about reinstating the points ignition on my 370 FB Stormer. I've taken my bike into a local bike repair shop who have some knowledge of old British bikes and they are helping me with the issue. I spoke with the shop today and they have yet to start on my bike but a customer of theirs was in the shop today and he noticed my bike. Apparently he recognized my Stormer straight away as he used to race them back in the 60's and 70's. Without any knowledge of the ignition issue he said something like 'great bikes, handled well, but were famous for losing the spark for no apparent reason, sometimes mid-race'.
I just wondered if anyone has any thoughts on his comment and more importantly, if he is speaking the truth, if anyone can suggest any fixes, solutions, work arounds to this issue?
As ever, your help is much appreciated.
