    well that coil definitely isnt a 1.4sr one, looks more like a 1.2 type coil

    ummm is a strange setup
    how would i know what the carb inlet is of? or is it definatly a sr item. would it be worth while sourcing an sr coil? would it make any difference? or would the wiring on it be deferent?

    again apologies for all the question

    if the coil works it works, changing it will achieve nothing. its is fairly certain that if its a sr carb its an sr inlet

    it misses a bit so was goint to replace it and leads and get a timing light on it to make sure dizzy is right.

    what do you think about the fuel pressure reg would it be better of using the proper fuel pump?

    ill have to eake a look and see then if there is a fuel return. if not is it a matter of running a line from were it is on the carb to the tank? also where abouts on the carb would the return outlet be?

    tanks again for the help
