All is not well with my free gemini. Its got a good 1.8L motor in it, only its been sitting in a paddock for a couple of years and I can't get it to start. It's getting fuel (gravity feed to a good carby) but no spark. The coil is producing a weak spark, but it isn't getting past the dizzy. I've taken the points out and cleaned then, replacing the condenser and checked all the leads but it still won't fire. Any ideas on what to try next (if there aren't any easy solutions I'll try swapping the dizzy)?
