Lost half my rpm's and power. Would idle and run low rpm fine though.

Idle OK a little spit and sputter then die , accelerate most of the time OK , leveled off @#$%^&* SPIT AND SPUTTER , BUCK AND JUMP , TOTALLY UN-RIDEABLE.... It was the condenser

Little cylindrical wrapped paper & tinfoil gizmo (an automotive grade largish capacitor in other words) that worked with the points to provide a low sparking interrupted 12 volt power supply to the coil which when field collapsed fired the plug through the sparky wire back in the old days when men were men and sheep wuz always rightly skeered of them.

It must be part of something else, or something else serves the same function. Yes ? ? Do we know what it is ? ?

Can an 80's model part be used or is this one of those that has to be from the same model group ?

We got lots & lots of other black box goodies to foul things up though ..... more than enough to drive a sane man CRAZY !!

They were designed to work together, now the ignition module (black box) takes the place of the points and condenser.

There are 12 motel rooms, 2 cabins that sleep 6 and a field with a stream you are allowed to camp in. Here are some photos.
