Ah Yes Lucas electrical systems, oh the joy, NOT! Mine was with a MG Midget that no matter what refused to start in the morning anytime it rained over night. The next best was Bosh in my VW Van, which isn't saying much, but it sure was better then Lucas. Of course sometimes I wonder if AC Delco wasn't trying to catch up since then and now they still haven't figured out the concept grounds IMHO.

I had the distributor on my bugeye sprite fall apart in my hands, just turned into a little pile of parts. I just say there staring at it. Lucas made hydraulics too, lost a brand new pair of shoes to a Lucas clutch master cylinder one day. Ahh, when Mazda came out with the Miata a new day dawned. All the fun and it was reliable too.

Lucas electrics-reminds me of the '56 MGA that we restored. the fuel pump was electric-it ticked when sitting still. I had parked it on a city street and a lady called the cops thinking I had a bomb in my car. Lucas electrics-also in my old BSA motorcylces and Truimphs. Vann

Standard electrical engineering test procedure:
Finding out where they keep the smoke. Been that way as long as I can remember, and that’s a pretty long time. 😜 |

Letting out the magic smoke in things electronic, Podwerkz, thanks for explanation. Finally, someone has given me a description of electronics and their function that makes perfect sense. I feel so much better about my constant refrain - go sacrifice a chicken when electronics are not working. Maybe the smoke from the Webber filters into the electronic widget adding to the volume of magic smoke inside or replacing some that has escaped. Now this is an example why this forum is so valuable to Pod owners.

Yes, trust me on this: I will NOT be randomly applying 6 or 12 volts to any of these pins on an expensive, brand new fridge. These electronic gizmos always seem to work better if you dont let the magic smoke out. |
