<VV> Engine Problems Downunder

[Shaun McGarvey]

Hi Mark, the clutch disk likely went in backwards if all the parts are of 
the matching variety.
With the ignition, the coil needs the resistor wire, ie. 6v while running, 
but the ignition needs 12v, so you cant just jump off the + side of the coil 
to get power to the ignition.
Hope this helps...

yea, Vairily ... Shaun
