I was looking at the bike and started it with the points cover off. The garage door was closed so the light was kind of low but man did I get fire from the points. They are not pitted but have alot of light carbon soot on them. I was reading the book and it says the condensor is to keep the arcing to a minimum. My question is in a dim garage shoudld you see a fair amount of arc or not? I have a capacitance meter and will check it tonight but I think the condensor or the wire to it may have failed.
Sound right?
