Thanks JB ,Tested ignition trigger,Ecu,coils as per manual everything tests ok but still no spark cry .I see Andover Norton also do a replacement kit with all the bits (trigger,ecu,coils & leads) has anyone used their units? Its about twice the price as the minimag unit.(They list it for a commander will it work ok on my ip2?)Anyone have any recommendations? or good second hand one?Cheers Blair.

If you send yours to Minimag they will test it for you,they tested mine for me way back in 2012(speedo reading 50,076) for the princely sum of £20-00, wink (it has done over 17,000 trouble free miles since then,) looking back through my records for the original fitting of the Minimag,it looks like I purchased it from Startright way back in 2005,(speedo reading,14,000 miles exclaim,)so at present its done over 50,000 miles and counting Very Happy,Hope this info will be of some use to you,ride safely in 2017,J.B.
