    Thanks for the additional comments. I was hoping that the worn wires weren’t ground wires, which therefore kills my theory.

    "Looks like the upper crank seal might be loosing its load…. look at the points cam…."

    That’s residue from the penetrating oil I used on the flywheel (overnight) before removing it. I’ll ensure that it’s clean, as I’m aware that the factory service manual is clear that it needs to be installed dry.

    Cheers,
