Why is it always weird stuff that breaks?

[Jesse Browning]

I’ve always stayed away from NOS or old ignition capacitors. They don’t age well. The electrolyte evaporates. They may work when cool, but the value changes when they heat up. Then your left stranded some distance from home. I’ve known more than one person on MV forums who had a “wont run when hot” problem that spent thousands chasing down vapor lock, replacing carbs, fuel lines, fuel pumps, and fuel tanks when the problem was a $5 condenser. I’ve always told people to buy a new condenser, but now that’s not the solution either. BTW. The electronic replacement module has capacitors. Maybe hundreds of them. You just can’t see them.
