Re: Mark 20 with bendix ign problem

[jerry-ahrens]

Something else to consider about condensers, if they are weak, you will have excessive arcing across the points. This will quickly burn up the points. Bendix points are in short supply, so why risk it? In my mind, if I take the time to pull a flywheel and replace coils, it’s crazy not to go ahead and replace the condensers at the same time. When I get to the shop later today, I’ll check a new Bendix condenser to see what it shows. When you perform a leakage test, does the needle on the MercoTronic quickly fall back to zero after the condenser discharges? If not, it’s leaking.
