    Hello all
    Just inherited a non running tiger cub. 1966. Everything is there. Motor spins. Gas tank was spotless inside. Can't get spark. Hopefully will get it running asap. Ordered a new coils as this one was split. Also had the smaller Lucas coil. Will need to replace points as well.

    Boy what a little treasure you have found there. Sure you have loads and loads of work to do. But it is worth every penny you put into it just to own such a little treasure and so original. What are your plans for it as in will you keep it original or go another way with it. I do wish you lots of luck with it. Please do keep us all the know with your progress and build pictures if possible.
    Joe

    My first chore is to get it running. Then take a few items off to paint. New cables and levers. New wheels. Then ride it.
    Thanks for the compliments. Should be a fun little project.

    I posted replies, but they await moderators before they can be made public? I think I made replies 2days ago. Lol.

    Takes me back - a mate of mine rode a Cub back in the late 70's, when I was on my first bike (a CG125)!
