Hello from the other side of the pond. I´m Jose Rubio from Spain. It´s been quite a while since my last port on the forum.

I´ve a quite disturbing issue with my M-38. It has 24v original electrics, and lately it is destroying the ignition coil. And I mean destroying like literally blowing them. They look burned to a point were they open up and liberate some oilish looking liquid.

Any clue on what is going on and how to attack the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Jose

The long time MV restorer who recently restored my M38A1 has said there are a lot of inferior cheap cooks out there. So there is the possibility that your vehicle may not be to blame.
Buy your next unit from a different source.

Mine has recently gone from being easy to start to darn near impossible.
It turns over but you soon smell a bit of raw fuel.
If you let it sit, that sometimes helps.
