Hello readers: New man on this site, so excuse my Blunders in definitive explanations of my seeking help. I have presented myself as Old 2.C.V.Man.
I have a Sparkrite electronic unit, that couples to my Citroen Cars Ignition coil, to boost the Spark, its been on it since 1979, still in pristine condition, like my vehicle which I have ran relentlessly for the past 51 years.
This week I had occasion to change the Car points ,situated behind the Fan in lower section of the Sump, I fitted New Points and condenser, first time in 20 years, thats how good these Spark rites are in controlling the 2 cylinder engine, However the Sparkrite has a switch mechanism, that allows its use in Two modes, Electronic and conventional which is its point operation only.
The Unit has Two illuminate lights on its face front, Static Timing and Function timing, and the change over switch central. My problem is its now ceased to run in electronic mode, so I opened it up to inspect it, all the board Chrome heavy circuitry is impeccable, no signs of arcing, all the diodes are perfect ... no breakages visible, but the two unit lights are different , in shape, the one that works is a miniature bulb shape and the second one appears to have shrunk in shape, but its intact but no lighting.... which leads me to think thats why the electronic side of this unit is faulty.
I am pretty well versed at every thing I do, I have built several variation of Citroen 2,CVs from the ground up, since I bought my 1st one in 1955, and I have travelled the World in them for over 50 years... but I dont present myself as a Know it all Boy .. my motto is your never to old to learn...... any help would be graciously appreciated... no matter how small a suggestion. See attached pictures.
