Alpha cd35 c spark genny

[Solderwire]

Hi al,l a customer of mine has a apha cd35c not sparking, replaced the genarator lasted a day and stopped again, replaced again and fitted new ht lead thinking it was a duffer, and its stopped again 2 days later no spark again.

i see the genny has 2 lead outs, my ht lead is in the left hand socket, should there be one in the right socket?, i'm thinking there should be a earth lead? as there is nothing there before i started.

by the way pcb is throwing 234 volts up the power lead and its cutting out when it should after it lights
any one come across this fault before ?

Pete.

This lead should be in the LH terminal on the genny, early cds had a separate earth in the RH terminal on the genny, have you checked the electrodes inside combustion chamber?, pcb sounds ok at the mo,
