I have been trying to help Dave Pink sort of an ignition problem on his Scottish, just stopped suddenly while out on a run, no spark.
Have changed condenser but still no spark, it has remote HT coil fitted, this appears to be OK as good spark using a 6 volt battery after LT coil disconnected. Checked voltage on LT coil output and this is only 1 volt so looks to be a problem with that. Unusual for LT coils to fail but presumably this is a doctored Sport Coil with HT windings removed.
So tried to remove flywheel but not will not come loose with a hammer spanner, so i made of a 3 pronged flywheel holding tool to fit the 3 holes in flywheel, but this bent and still the nut wont budge, it wont even come undone a couple of turns to go into extract mode. I am sceptical that it will still not come undone with the now beefed up flywheel holding tool using a 18" bar wrench, with that sort of force it could shear the shaft. Looks like someone has used locktite on thread. Normally in this situation I would use some heat on the nut, but loath to do this as it may damage the coils. The only other solution's may be to use a pneumatic hammer wrench like the ones garages use to remove car wheel nuts.
Any ideas
