    230A condenser failure

    The wires (other than new plug wires) are original (1989) ,there is a resistor wire on the generator (original), the coil is wired correctly (+/-), across the terminals the battery is 12.45V, new condenser, points ok, cap &rotor new this year. Still in no spark and I can’t say why. Beginning of...

    230A condenser failure

    Do you think the condenser failures are a result of to much voltage?

    230A condenser failure

    Got it. Left boat until AM Can get cranking voltage, but can’t get running voltage because I’m in no spark

    230A condenser failure

    I removed the coil and used a multimeter to check resistance in both the primary and secondary coils. The + and - check (primary) calculated to 3.3 ohms. The + and ignition wire terminal check (secondary) did not read anything (as in not connected internally or “open”). My logic says there has...

    230A condenser failure

    Soooo, I pulled the coil and ohm tested it. It was basically 4 across the primary and .7 on the meter so it would be 3.3 (yes?). There is no reading on the secondary side so I’m assuming it’s a broken circuit and the coil is no good ????

    230A condenser failure

    I need some advice about condenser failures. I replaced coil, condenser, points, rotor, cap, plug wires and plugs about 3 years ago. Since then I have had 3 condenser failures. The condensers have the Sierra brand, which I have recently learned many dealers will not repair with Sierra due to...
