Both condensers check out fine on my multimeter but I’m replacing them anyway. I’ve reset the points gap and ignition timing (it was a bit retarded) but the left plug isn’t firing. I think the cap is suspect so I’m replacing both of them. Both the primary and secondary coil leads are showing the correct resistance but neither of the secondaries show a spark when I test them independently. Hoping it’s just an anomaly and the new caps resolve the issue. If not, replacement coils are inexpensive.
I’m enjoying tinkering with this bike. It’s a fun project and I’m relearning a lot of stuff I used to know many moons ago. The OE-spec NGK spark plugs were discontinued several years ago but I’ve successfully tracked down a few leftovers. Everything else seems to be widely available and quite inexpensive. So far, so good
