Turns out it was a faulty condenser. I am using Points at the moment. Have had problems with Pertronix. Now it is looking like Pertronix is better than points. What to do? So on my +4 I will carry a spare Dizzy with Pertronix in it. Pretty soon I will need a trailer to carry spare parts for this thing. Old Morgans are neat, but a PITA!!!!!!!!!


Checked old condenser this morning just to make sure. +4 ran OK?????????? Must have been something going wrong with installation. This was a new Lucas 25D Dizzy. Probably a cheap knock-off.

Will order new Lucas 25D from a reliable supplier.
