    In this video we will have a look at the effect of capacitor on the contact points and ignition spark on a breaker point type ignition. Have a look at the effect and connecting and disconnecting capacitor or condenser, you will be amazed by what you see regarding what the capacitor does to the entire ignition system.

    Thank you so much . Was working on an old 4 cyl MF farm tractor - Installed all new ignition parts and tractor would barely run . I mistakenly thought the problem was in the carburetor - must have had the carb on & off the tractor 20 times to clean and rebuild it, no luck the tractor would just barely run . Had a friend with more experience with old tractors then myself look over everything to double check my work . He thought the same thing i did and removed and rebuilt the carb - no luck . Finally for whatever reason he installed another set of points and condenser and tractor runs fine . I had purchased AC Delco points/condenser from the MF dealer and they said made in USA so i thought i was getting quality products . My friend is convinced the condenser was bad . I am aware the condenser protects the points from pitting and early failure but i did not realize the condenser helped make a stronger spark . I am 75 yrs old and until this happened i never recall hearing about new points & condenser being faulty . Thanks again

    Years ago while working at a Honda motorcycle shop we had a cb-750 running a bit rough. The mechanic took a new condenser and temporarily attached it to the circuit. It smoothed right out.

    That was very helpful! Thank you for the video. I have a very old moped which I'm not able to start. The carburetor is fine but I thought the firing was weak. It has a magneto contact breaker without a capacitor across the breaker. Most suggestions said the capacitor reduces spark between the contact breaker, but now I can see that it also improves the spark at the terminal which is important. Thanks again!!

    Great demo.......now if someone out there can explain why there are 2-3 different condensers for the same distributor that might be even more helpful......i.e Standard Products ( Blue streak listing 3 or 4 different points sets and at least 2 different condensers for the same engine ). DR-6- DR-70....ect.

    did you connect the wire of the capacitor on the negative?
    the distributor aluminium is negative but you connect on the wire that have plastic protection
    thanks

    • @TheAbJGarage
      @TheAbJGarage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That line is actually coming from the ignition coil negative and go to the contact point to get ground, the plastic is used to prevent it from grounding before reaching the contact point.

      uhm if we use a bigger value would that mean it could result to less arc on the breaker and greater spark on plug?
      it comes to mind the way i understood it

    • @TheAbJGarage

      With what capacitance rating? If the total capacitance rating is same to the original one it could just be fine! The value of the condenser for this distributor is 0.22 microfarad. It is better to have a voltage rating of over 450 volts. The voltage rating doesn't affect how the capacitor works but determines how much voltage it can stand without failing.

    Is it better to keep the Capacitor cool? What if a Capacitor has a long wire like the ACDelco D222 (19142671)? How would that affect the spark control?

    • @endurofan9854

      I’m no expert but I’m guessing keeping it cool would help the capacitor last longer. Electricity travels fast, probably no bad effects from a long wire.
