    update: points polished up gap adjusted , openning set with the VOM method at around TDC and the bad condenser ( tall canister) was refurbished with a 630V mylar .020 uf capacitor.

    the rounded top edge was taken out with the grinder to remove the inner foil , a new capacitor installed and soldered in via a 1/16 hole drilled in the bottom. the canister was filled with epoxy
    with a small auto-mix seringe . the capacitor top wire was reconnected to the coil primary & point junction. Time will tell Mylar caps hold up

    Closed up everything an it fires like a draggon 🙂

    carb spotless . impeller coming in via Amazon and no water in the GC….just sand 🙂

    not a bad deal …. I think that one cost me 70$ cdn + the the impeller (can’t recall exactly ….. amongst the 6 I need to get going before ice out)
