How to check condenser on vintage Honda motorcycle.

Ive been trying to find it on a 1978 c90

Awesome and very helpful. Thank you sir!

will a motor run with a bad condensor.. im trying to set my timing with a light and battery but it doesnt dim the light.. bike runs, but not well

'67 Honda "305" Scrambler starts and runs and the left cylinder cuts out after about 30 seconds. I'll give this a try.

stkfff

This video explains a lot and it helped me to diagnose what was burning my contact breaker points on my old Kawasaki KZ305

Why do you have comments off on some of your videos?

Helped me ! Thanks

To anyone wanting to know if their condenser is faulty, this is an exciting video.

Nobody does this with it in the bike :/

Good video dude. Thanks very much.

Found my problem thanks to your video.

I had a joiner between the coil and condenser which ended up having loads of resistance. So it would discharge fine at the joiner area, but wouldn’t discharge at the coil end.

Legend.

awesome how to vid. thanks so much for taking the time to post that, both with a good and bad condenser.

MIne would not move of O.L so I guess it's bad. (and for you Americans there is an L in solder, its not spelled soder. )

Great video!!

Thanks Adamz, good video, I believe 'OL' on the multimeter stands for Open Loop.

nice explanation...others only test the ohm not when discharging

Thank you this really helped out am working on old outboards. So the slower and the more volts it holds back is a bad capasitor. Thanks again.

Very thorough thanks
