I guess you guys are smarter than you look..
I installed my "ignition remote" in my quest for fire today.
So I have fire from the main coil. Held the high tension wire close to the block, did a quick crank and there was light. Not a crisp blue but a yellowish zap.
Reconnect the HT wire to the cap. pulled plug #1 with wire attached, grounded plug to block. No light show.
Plug # 2 same.
Pulled condenser off to test with cheap meter on boat. No continuity. No reading.
Took condenser home to test again with better meter, seems to be ok. Resistance climbs as charge builds up.
Anyone have a definitive way to test a condenser?
I'll make a quick trip tomorrow and see if I can pick up a replcament locally.
Anyone know if there is a specific type/size/rating?
