A bad condenser will cause the ignition points to spark more heavily, and burn out sooner. Also misfiring, bucking, and even stalling can occur as the spark may not be sufficient at the plug. The condenser helps reduce sparking at the contact points, and it also stores and provides extra energy for the next spark event, so a bad condener will reduce the strength of your overall ignition spark.

If it repeatedly fails you have excessive heat, wrong spec condenser, its getting wet, the voltage is incorrect off the ignition (or magneto if you have one that primitive) or you may have a bad plug wire or coil causing the spark to "back up" into the condenser. ( How it was described to me in the 1960s ) It could also just be wired on the wrong side of the coil or points. Good Luck
