Newtronic ignition no spark

[pompey272]

Hi i've just completed the mod of fitting tubular exhausts and the Ford water pump plus Datsun drive shafts so i was really looking forward of going on a test run but it won't start i've checked all the contacts are correct. When checking for a spark at the HT lead and plug lead i have no spark.I have a electronic system called newtronic systems the module is a black box does anyone know i can check the module out.

Just a thought, but mine used to get it's + supply from the bottom of the fuel inertia switch, If yours gets it's power from the same place but it's not connected to the live side then you will lose your 12v supply if the switch is triggered, Is your pump ticking?
If that's ok then this might help

Sometimes the feed for electronic ignition is taken from one of the wires off the base of the inertia switch on the bulkhead near the fuse box.

Make sure the button on top of the switch is not de-activated (in the up position)

Thanks lads it was the supply wire which is connected to the windscreen water pump which is why the MOT man told me the engine dies when using the screen wash so i will get it put on the inertia switch. So i finally got to go for a run,the Ford water pump was fine slightly lower temp on the gauge, the Datsun drive shafts were a bit disappointing cannot say i felt any differant in the handling and i still got the clunck when moving off which means there isn't anythink wrong with my Triumph drive shafts.
