Electrickery

Can anyone explain please:

How does a faulty distributor condenser manifest itself? Is it a sudden or
progressive effect?

My memories of schooldays physics isn't what it should be anymore.

Depends how faulty it's gone.

Usually hard to start (or impossible) lots of sparks across the points
(and sod-all at the plug) - look for badly burnt point faces.

Nothing like that - as yet. Now I know what to look for though.
Many thanks.

course) the effects can be, starts ok will run Ok on a light throttle, but
the more work you ask it to do, the more it misfires. They are cheap, so why
not change it anyway. Steve the grease

Worzel Gummidge - I used to have to watch it with my little sister.

Catweazle. 95% certain of that.

Sean at work correctly explained:

Yup. You're right. I'm wrong. Just phoned my sister and she reminded me
that much to her annoyance, I always got the two damn blokes mixed up.

Roger

 

I get some odd looks in the office[1] as I use those terms.

Never did like that programme. He should have stuck to low budget sci-fi
and narrating.

[1]insert punchline here

 

Sean at work observed:

.... But at least Mr.Gummidge seems to be number one at the moment in the
bidding for TOG's Yamaha XJ550.

Thus spake RG unto the assembled multitudes:

You are Murray Walker and I claim my £5 ;-) ;-)

 

Andy Clews, in search of beer tokens claimed:

Bugger it. Rumbled again.

Seems to me that it would only be sudden if it shorted to ground. Otherwise,
if it was "open" it would result in points that became increasingly pitted
and burned.
