[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 134402, member: 2708"] My OZ Rapide has a similar ignition. The housing is quite different in shape. My ignition uses ignition points, twin condensors, twin 6 Volt coils and ballast resistor all from a Norton Commando. It's important to use only new old stock Lucas points. The Japanese Daichi replacements are junk. New old stock Lucas points are getting hard to find. I'll bet there are still some in the UK at the Autojumbles. I recently bought some ignition points on eBay. These were listed as new old stock original Lucas points. They ad listed the correct Lucas part number. The points were in an orange box labeled " Lucas" But inside were the junk Daichi points. With proper Lucas points installed you can ignore the ignition for at least 30,000 miles. The dual point dual coil ignition gives very easy starting. One other note - my system requires a fairly wide point gap, no closer than 20 thousandths. I set it at 25 thou. At 18 thou or less it will only fire one cylinder. Your system may have a differently shaped points cam which would change things. Glen [/QUOTE]
