Electrics Section T
An open circuit, however,
cannot
be readily
checked
without
the use
of
specialised
equipment such
as
a Diagnosis Test Set. The
usual signs
of
this
are
excessively
burnt
contact
breaker points and
difficult
starting.
To
remove
the
condenser
1 Remove the distributor cap and rotor arm.
2 Remove the distributor
point
set
as
previously
described.
3 Remove the cross head screw and
lift
the
condenser from the
contact
breaker plate.
4 The condenser, condenser lead,
low
tension
terminal and
low
tension fly-lead, is a complete
assembly.
The fly-lead complete
with
grommet
and insulated lucar terminal should be
withdrawn
through
the hole in the distributor
body.
(See
Figure
4b.)
5 Replace in reverse order, checking
that
there
is no
possibility
of
a short
circuit
between
the
condenser lead terminal and the
contact
breaker
plate.
Note:
Dismantling
of
the complete distributor is
not
recommended
as
only
the cover, rotor arm,
condenser and
leads assembly, and
contact
breaker set are available
as
spares
