Hi Guys. Just tried to take SX out for a spin as Air Horns working but guess what........It wont start. Checked out and not getting a spark. As most people know by now I know very little about electrics. Any suggestions Guys or if anyone in the Burnham on Sea area this week and can take a look would be most grateful.

12v Electronic isn't it Dave?
TBH it could be a multitude of things. First thing I'd do is replace the plug with a NEW one. Then switch on and place the new plug against the engine mounts and kick it over (DON'T HOLD THE PLUG!!)
See if you get a spark then
Chris
