Re: HD 1972 Gas
Cheap quality points can cause this as well as the condition of the cam that actuates them.

Re: HD 1972 Gas
Had a similar problem. I saw an arching from the points to the engine case. I could not get a good timing. So I added and additional condenser to the terminal on the coil. I had read about adding an additional condenser not hurting the (firing)system. Seems that trick worked.
Not sure how to test them or how they are rated. Perhaps another member can add more info about this part. |
