Hi guys, got a lister d (I believe 1935) it’s a reverse rotation with a tank cooling top, been outside for years, drained crankcase and filled and greased everything nessasary, freed everything up, rigged up a temp fuel tank, new plug and lead, wont fire, after a while discovered I got no spark, cleaned and set points, no change, my question is can the condenser cause no spark at all or is it more likely to be the coil windings? Also being anti-clockwise does this mean I need a different fuel tank as the one with it fouls on the carb,
Thanks in advance
Sam

Photo's please, yes a capacitor will effect the spark and so will faulty windings, the tank is the same on anti and clockwise engines.

My mistake with the tank I’ve figured it now, just the lack of spark !!
