Hi all I have a Villiers 210 11E Upton top end with PVL ignition how do I set it up please I have turned it over with a cordless drill but have no spark at the plug it is not fitted to the chassis yet any help would be welcome thanks Jimmy

Is it earthed ? the small wire on the coil must earth the bracket of the coil and an earth lead to the engine is needed

Thank you for that Bob I will do that and see what happens will the cordless drill be ok or would it need to be more rpm thanks again Jimmy

if you have spun it over without a plug in the cap or without an earth to the engine,pvl hates this and usually ruins the coil sorry.pvl does like to have about 800rpm to get a good spark aswell cheers Paul

Thanks Paul thankfully I did have the plug in the cap and earthed and after your's and bob's forum help got a brilliant Spark Thanks again Regards Jimmy

glad to help all the best.

Hi Paul is it possible to rig up a kill switch and if the red wire from the coil is part of that thanks in advance if you can help regards jimmy F
