hirezSo. Simply Saab, splendid spares suppliers, seem sorted. Sell self second-hand spark-box.
(That's quite enough of that. Although bonus points for commentary in similar vein.)
But... Sapristi nuckos! A migraine starts on just as I'm wheeling the bike out the door for the trek (haw! It's not. It's a Giant.) to Brislington.
Run to chemist, neck Imigran, wait in darkened room for nastiness to pass.
It doesn't. Although I can remember John Cusack now, so the worst must be past.
[FX: Swearing]
Some taxi-work, five minutes with a Torx bit and the 9k is running a lot better (ie - at all).
For entertainment value, I pull the ignition box to bits. The insides are somewhat scorched. (You can't quite see where the potting compound's gone carbonised and bubbly.)
Meanwhile, I now suspect that the smell of carbonised components works on electronic kit the same way that the smell of vom works on humans; when I go to wash the smell of circuit-death off my hands, the kettle starts to arc and emit smoke.
I should change my name to Neil.
