points sparking 550 F1

<< < (2/2)

Philh550:
Thanks Deltarider. My 'bad' one is like the good one in the video with no sign of a spark on my 1 and 4 side.

So Ashimoto leaves me with the dilemma of which make to buy as a replacement. At the minute I have an old one fitted that is battered and dirty and possibly original that seems to be working fine. Looked on line and the prices range from £6 to £16 per condenser, question is does price dictate quality ?

Trigger:
Make sure that all the screws are tight and look at the spring on the points, one of julies bikes had a bad starting problem and that was a crack in the spring which caused the spark to jump  ;)

gtmdriver:
There will always be some sparking at the contact breakers but it it's excessive then it's likely to be the condenser.

Battered one...  if it works fine I woud it leave on. ND (Nippon Denso), Hitachi or TEC are the best types.
