condenser not hooked up

Post by dlobby12 » Sat May 21, 2011 4:54 pm

The two condenser wires on my 305 are not hooked up, however the wire from the points go back to the coil. One wire at the cond. is bare and the other has a male plug.

Right coil, and points use the green wire. It goes from the negative side of the coil, to the condenser, to the points. Left coil and points use the yellow wire, same path.

You'll get spark but your points will only last a short time.............................D
