Testing ignition coils
Laverda Dave:
That explanation has taken me back to when I was 15 and sitting in a physics class with my tutor, Mr Tombs explaining and demonstrating Ohms law and magnetic flux etc. A few weeks later I witnessed an impromptu demonstration of how capacitors worked in our motor engineering class when we were servicing the metalwork teacher's Singer Gazelle car. One of my fellow students was dared to stick his finger in a plug cap while the engine was cranked over by another student. He didn't keep it in there for long!

Would one side still spark and one not if the condenser was no good?

There are condensers for each side but two in a common package on the Honda twins

I got the bike firing on the left today with a new coil from DSS, popped it on and a good healthy spark straight away.

Good news. It's a relief when you solve a problem like that. 👍
