without going into too much detail. my px died in the rain a couple of times then was ok, fine next day then died again today but started again after couple of mins. got home checked all connections to coil,they're fine,ht seems fine? spark plug was fine kicked over and it started. now it wont start at all no spark can anyone offer any advice as to what might be the cause? should i just buy a coil and if i do how the f do you put the ht lead in it? cheers!

try starting from the plug backwards pal, buy a new plug,ht lead & cap...the ht lead simply screws in clockwise while pushing in. if still no joy...your lookin' at the coil & beyond

managed 2 get it started.with new plug and lead, weak spark! it ticks over,only just, for about 30 seconds then dies. could this be a fault in the coil

the best thing is to remove the plug cap start the engine while youre holding the plug wire a few mm from the plug top, that way you'll see the spark jump across
see what cuts out first, the spark or the engine
if engine, its probably fuel related if spark cuts out, investigate coil etc
