Engine & Transmission / Troubleshooting intermitent spark
« on: July 09, 2018, 01:38:28 PM »
Hi everyone,

Is there someone on this forum that can walk me thru step by step as far as troubleshooting (test - ignition coil, points, condenser etc.) on a Wico magneto?
It seems I get a spark every 3-4 pedal cranks which is causing carburetor to flood.

Thanks,
Okozzy.

Oscar here from sunny Southern California,

I've been into bicycles ever since I can remember, I've been mountain biking for the past 25 years and got into collecting and refurbishing old vintage bicycles the last 7 years or so.
A few months back I told my friend Tony that I needed a new challenge, I told him I was thinking about picking up and old whizzer, he told me, before I did anything to check out one of them Simplex servi-cycles. I did and I never looked back, I just fell in love with them and now the proud owner of what I think is a 52 Simplex.

The bike is in what I think real good condition for its age (og royal blue color) with great patina, but as so many others is missing the engine, SO LET THE HUNT BEGIN!

The bike was all put together when i got it, but after a short time in my possession, now a basket case. I will have it reassembled within the next couple of weeks.

By the way, I've already been in contact with Wayne and I already have a few parts on their way.

p.s. I'll be needing a model M engine, I know, I know I have to get in line, but I'm getting in line with my BIG BOY wallet in hand!
