Default Re: Engine quit ------ Condenser overheated

One rule of thumb of troubleshooting is that when you have the same problem after replacing a particular part, it might not have been that part that was mis-behaving after all. Normally a Model A engine won't routinely overheat enough to toast a condenser. When you stop the engine and cool it off with the wet rag, you might be giving something else time to cool down and resume working. Maybe the coil, maybe the ignition switch, etc.

On the other hand, maybe your new capacitor will do the trick. Let's hope.
