[QUOTE="69ST, post: 175471, member: 5"] Condensers used to be stone-reliable. That's changed in recent years. IDK to what extent, or the reasons why. It'll be years before the former question gets answered, the latter maybe never. Suffice it to say that a lame condenser is now something worth considering. It's also the most likely ignition system component to cause a weak spark, as opposed to no spark. Suggestions... Clean the point contacts. A few swipes with 600-grit sandpaper, followed by cleaning solvent, should remove any potential flash rust, anti-oxidation coating, or oil. Start with a new plug, if you haven't already. If the spark still lacks normal strength, replace the condenser. In proper working condition, these old breaker point ignitions can produce spark that rivals CDI. [/QUOTE]
