Default Re: Condenser Life w/ the Nu-Rex upper plate

Thanks for the replies.

In order:
Tom - No, I'm using the standard lower plate with the extra length pigtail. I've heard the same problems, pertaining to the wireless plate, that you mentioned.

Jason - carb is clean/clear.

Roccaas: is your experience with a traditional condenser setup, or with the modern upper plate?

I suppose that the engineering answer that I am looking for is the median number of hours of burn for the condenser prior to failure, particularly with respect to the traditional setup (But, life isn't perfect, is it?) I might try contacting Nu-Rex to see if they have an answer.

The easy answer, of course, is to simply move on and replace the condenser. But, the appeal of the modern upper plate is the distancing of the condenser from engine heat. Or, is this just marketing hype? I probably have only ten hours on this condenser, and was hoping that several folks, who have used this setup for some time, might have concurred that condenser life is no different/longer, etc. than the traditional setup.

Thanks all!
