October 12, 201213 yr 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) ?
October 12, 201213 yr 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.
October 14, 201213 yr Author 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).
October 15, 201213 yr Hi mudyman Just checked, as you said, join two black wires, blue goes up to coil, and new condenser.
May 7, 201412 yr Author 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 !!
