Julian Bradley Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 ....I guess - it wouldn't catch this morning, so I had to take the boring car. It has bog standard lucas ignition with inadequate spark etc. Car lives under breathable cover outside. Push start was required - definitely undignifying! Lucky I live near a hill. Anyone recommend best way/products for keeping everything dry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 A house with a garage! 😬 Failing that, lots of WD40. My crossflow has lived outdoors for half its life and have never had a problem...

Julian Bradley Posted November 24, 2002 Author Share Posted November 24, 2002 Ah! A garage. Hadn't thought of that. Of course, just took 7 to Halfrauds in Boringwood, and biblical thunderstorn happens. And they didn't even have Damp tart. I think I'll leave that typo in... WD40 it will be!

Drumster Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Julian, From my experiences the standard Lucas ignition system is pretty poor. I changed to the Lucas Competition ignition system and have never had a problem starting the car even when it has been left standing for a long time (admittedly in a garage) Chris Alston 1800 Supersprint - Loud and Proud 😬 ...well it only sounds fast officer 😳 Brooklands aeroscreens for those........flies in the teeth moments Drive it like you stole it!

Michael Peterson Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 I have the Lucas electronic ignition on my 91 X-flow Super Sprint. How good are these systems? And I'll have one of those damp tarts please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
