Hi there, some questions, Are the insulated connections or wires of both condensers joined together. Is there one magneto or two or is it a coil ignition with timing points and a battery required. Some detail photos would help. Automotive condensers are rated at approx. 600 volts so voltage is not an issue. You should have those condensers tested at and auto electrical shop or radio repair shop because they may not be the problem. Fit a couple of normal automotive condensers just for a test because it wont hurt anything. The magneto coil or coils may be open circuit. If you cant nut it out then have an auto electrical shop look at it for you. Regards, Kevin.
