Our 1979 Triumph Spitfire has been in the hands of Jonn. Here are his notes:

Get in and finish the service. Fit new points and condenser. Refit cap and rotor and try to start. Won’t fire. Investigate and found wire from condenser insecure and barely making contact. Strip and solder both wires from condenser and to points into contact. Adjust points and try to start again. Ok now. Take outside and warm up. Set idle speed and carry out road test. Not too bad now but will require throttle cable (on order) as its very stiff.
