What did you do on or to your CB 1100 today
Gone, put me out of my misery! Was it the condenser coil?

My checklist when the condenser doesn't come on is:
1. Capacitor swollen or leaking? --> change capacitor
2. Capacitor not swollen or leaking? --> change capacitor

And, heck, now that I think about it, I am still using the oil catch pan that I got for my 18th birthday... perhaps I should be concerned...

Or maybe it is time to treat yourself to a new one?  Dodgy

Nah, it’s pretty awesome. It’s very low and wide. Got it to slide under my Dodge Dart after I lowered it in high school. It’s great for under motorcycles too!

I actually meant capacitor, not coil. It looked fine and checked out on my multi meter, but the contacts were a bit dirty. Yanked it, brushed the wire connector tabs and it fired right up. 

But to Nacho’s point, I ordered a backup. For less than twenty bucks, it’s cheap insurance.

Good advice!
You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
