    Default C20xe no ecu

    Is it possible to run without an ecu. I have c20xe with twin webers running dizzy. I currently have no spark an want to rule out running an ecu

    Yes but you'll need a cav 1.6 dizzy, coil and amplifier

    I thought so cheers. I have all the above but not getting a spark. Can only guess I've got a bad connection or faulty parts. The coil and amp are both new right enough

    I've not done it myself but if I remember correctly it should work,

    start with replacing rotor and cap or testing coil with spark plug to check if the coils working

    Can you not put a ht lead on it with a spark plug in, Earth the spark plug body. I'd hold with some insulated pliers too just to be safe

    If you think the hardware is knackered, H&H do a dizzy setup that has the correct advance for a C20XE.
