If your bike runs poorly, you can easily test
your condenser by trying another condenser in
the circuit. Taken from a post:
Start
bike.
Touch the
new condenser wire to the low tension
lead and the body of the condenser to
the engine.
Listen and
see if it runs better.
The neat thing about condensers is that because
it is nothing more than a dead end for extra
electricity, it doesn't matter where you put it
as long as it is in the primary low voltage
ignition circuit.
If you remove the junction cover you will notice
that there is a wire from the stator that
attaches to a lead on the external coil and the
kill as well. As long as the condenser is tied
somewhere in that circuit and grounded, it will
function correctly. You can put it inside you
headlight bucket if you tapped it into your kill
wire.
Technically:
When the points are closed the electricity created from the stator
ignition coil charges the primary windings of the external ignition
coil and creates a magnetic field. When the points open, the
magnetic field collapses on the secondary windings and creates a
high voltage, low amperage amount of energy. The problem is that
when the points open they will work like a spark plug themselves and
arc which disrupts the magnetic field in the external coil. The
condenser works as a holding cell for the electricity that would
cause the points to arc.
