Saving Old Seagulls

I have a 1974 Forty Plus. I've removed the flywheel and I do not see a condensor.
Should there be one somewhere?

What igniton do you have if it,s villiars then it,s under points peal back paper and you should see condenser

I have this one:

In other words, you can not access the condensor, it is somewhere in the black blob of plastic. Now it depends on what the defect is of the condensor.
-1- the condensor has developed a short.
-2- the condensor is an open circuit.

The second possibility is the easiest to fix. Buy a condensor for a Villiers, and connect this parallel to the points. Fixed! Not perfect, but works probably.
The first possibility takes a lot of work. Someone on this forum has already taken apart a Wipac. The condensor has to be disconnected and then you can continue as possibility one. If in doubt, ask someone who knows about electronics.

Good luck

Might be easier just to buy one try john who run,s this site very fast and relieable
