Numpty Alert!
Couldn’t start the Bumblebee today. Nearly fired up a couple of times but wouldn’t catch. Fresh petrol in the tank, float bowls clean. Strong smell of petrol.
The plugs aren’t too bad but the caps are a bit manky. I’ve ordered new plugs and caps.
I thought I’d do a bit of checking, just out of interest, so I broke out the multimeter.
I only ever use it for checking batteries but wanted to just check the resistance of the old caps.
Set the meter to 2K ohms but no reading. Switched to continuity but no signal either. I’ve tried another couple of caps from my other bikes but just the same result.
I can get continuity checking plugs but no resistance reading either.
Where am I going wrong?
