Default Re: Condenser testing?

"Q. Can I run her for a few minutes with the condenser out of the system? Sure, why not? Probably got wet in the drizzle and car washing after the parade".

No. The condenser does two things:1 Helps collapse the magnetic field in the coil windings. 2 acts like a shock absorber in reducing the arc(spark) at the points.
