mudyman Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi all, I´m thinking of moving the condensor up under the petrol tank so that it can easily be changed. Anyone done this ? I suppose you can just join the three wires where the condensor normaly is and then fit the condensor in the blue wire to the HT coil (or not) ?

b40rt Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 When I have had to change the condenser I remove the original, solder and tap the (black?) wires and put the condenser as you say by the coil. I have used a VW one from Eurocar parts. Don't remember touching anything other than the black wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudyman Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi b4ort thanks for your reply and yes I think we thinking the same. I intend to join the 2 black wires (coming from coil and going to the points + then when closed to earth) as well as the blue wire also now on the condensor (3 wires altogether) and going up to the HT-coil (in which I will connect the condensor).

b40rt Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hi mudyman Just checked, as you said, join two black wires, blue goes up to coil, and new condenser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudyman Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Just had to spend a while with a differnt bike that didn´t want to start after standing around over the winter. After a few tests it seemed that the condensor was probably the problem. This was quite a new one and fitted as standard. I just left the old one in (still connected) and put a new one up by the coil. Bike started first kick and has a good spark now !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
