Following on from a recent thread I remember rushing to get Penny's TC at
least roadworty for the Ards TT celebrations some years ago. It was a
runner, but only just. No resto work, just get it running and legal.
Anyway, on the day it was very hot and she (the TC, not Penny) would start
up fine, idle and drive slowly. However, whenever we tried to accelerate or
put any real load on the motor, it would start to run very rough. Lots of
head scratching and new plugs, leads, rotor, fuel pump checked and even
fresh petrol had no satisfactory result. It was a chum, Mike Wilson who
turned up and suggested the condenser. Out came the brand new one and back
in went what might the original one. It worked perfectly and is still there.
Lesson learnt, new stuff isn't always best!
Cheers,
Geoff Rawlings
