Question:
Is there a way to test an ignition condenser to see if it is working properly? Aside from replacing I mean. The small engine is a 25 year old 2 hp Johnson outboard motor and the spark is strong but interrmittant with a spark tester. And what exactly does a condenser do? Is it like a capacitor? Can I put 2 in parallel? Would that help the spark quality?
Answers:
Marine Diesel Mechanics. Is there anyone with this profession, that could tell me about it. Im thinking about?
The purpose of the condenser is that it is a capacitor and you can put them in parallel but it will have no benefit. They are relatively cheap but if the spark is intermittent I would be looking at the gap on the points, and if it misses at speed then the issue may be vacuum advance.
