Been though the Trol checking everything after developing a mysterious misfire, and hard starting, both on LPG and Petrol. After changing plugs, leads, oxygen sensor, replacing a slightly leaking extractor gasket and setting the tappets twice, still no good, so I took it to a mechanical shop who came recommended and had the big dollar analyser. $210 later, they tell me it has either a bent pushrod or broken valve spring and need to charge me lots more dollars to go further. As I couldn't spare it (daily driver) for now and couldn't face riding the motorbike to work in this cold and windy weather, I said I would bring it back another time. I have been stewing ever since as I didn't trust the diagnosis, which they said was the number 6 cylinder. They said that they could tell because the plug had not been firing, but the compression was only 90psi where the others were 110-120 (GU TB45e).
Last night I had an epiphany and raced out suddenly to the car. The #6 lead has had a thin wire wrapped around the lead since I bought the car, which went to a Perry CP30 black box. I took teh wire off the plug lead and presto, no misfire and started first time. I think that somehow this wire was pulling the voltage down on that lead. I drove it wor work this morning and no misfire, so I am waiting until I calm down, then going to take it off and present them with an electrical suppository. Apparently these things stuff up all the time according to other websites.
What gets my goat is that I paid them to find the fault and clearly they didn't look closely at it. I cannot believe that their analyser didn't see a weak spark on the lead unless the analyser is rubbish. I really would like to trust a mechanic but I've always been let down so I end up doing it myself, with lots of swearing and barked knuckles.
when you take the suppository to show them , demand you money back
thats cr@p that they didnt pick that up
wait for Tony (ynot)...... ask him hell know for sure

That wire you spoke of is the LPG safety switch signal wire & normally goes to the Neg side of the coil or tacho signal wire but can also pick up a pulse (signal) by being coiled around a ignition lead, although crude its still effective & your right in saying it has been known to disrupt the spark in an ignition lead thats starting to build up some resistance in it, but with out it being connected (receiving a signal) you shouldn't have any LPG working...
Its designed to stop the LPG from flowing in the event the engines ignition is either not or stops firing (no spark) ie: at engine shut down.
I take it you have re-routed the signal wire to one of the 2 points I mentioned above or your running on petrol at the mo? If your running on LPG with that wire disconnected only & not re-routed I can only assume there is a pulse pickup somewhere else in the system or there is a fault in the safety switch.
You may alread know all this stuff but my fingers needed warming up so now you know it twice.....lolol
Good luck with it & keep us posted.
Cheers
Paul
