OK this is the watched space!
All connections are correct (fingers crossed!)
Cut out fuse good. and continuity across it.
The points have been cleaned only one (?)
The engine started & revved...not movement of the points. The coil became warm and the insulation doesn't look great..The points did not close (& I didn't push them closed!)
I am not certain where to check the coil continuity but with the Battery switched off :-
There was continuity between the woven wire at the bottom of the cut out "hinge" up to the two "terminals on top of the unit. With the points open there was no continuity between the top "terminals" and the moveable cut out spring. With the points closed there was continuity.
Now this may be relevant or not: From D+ on cut out to D+ on switchboard :There is continuity - as there should be as they are connected! But there also appears to be continuity if I check between D+ and earth (Both at switchboard & cut out)
Make any sense?
