more info would be helpful such as year, make, model and engine size but in many cases the lack of a ballast resister would do that.

Check the coil. Excess current of a failing coil could also cause premature pitting.

Yes, a bad ignition condenser will keep a motorcycle from firing. A bad ignition condenser might also have caused the points to stick together and burn up.


The function of the condenser in a breaker points ignition system is to?

The function of the condenser in a breaker points ignition system is to keep the points from sticking together. If the points stick together during ignition it could cause the points to burn up. The condenser sends a signal to the points and then takes the signal away to make the points separate.

What does the ignition condenser do?

It is basically a temporary storage device for electricity. The condenser is a simple capacitor that can store a small amount of current. When the points begin to open, the current flowing through the points looks for an alternative path to ground. If the condenser were not there, it would try to jump across the gap of the points as they begin to open. If this were allowed to happen, the points would quickly burn up and you would hear heavy static on the car radio. To prevent this, the condenser acts like a path to ground. It really is not, but by the time the condenser is saturated, the points are too far apart for the small amount of voltage to jump across the wide point gap. Since the arcing across the opening points is eliminated, the points last longer and there is no static on the radio from point arcing.

What are the symptoms of a bad ignition condenser?

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.


What is one main fucntion of the condenser in engine?

The condenser will absorb an electrical charge when the magnetic field collapses so the current won't arc and burn and cause a short in the battery.

What do a ignition system do?

The condenser on an ignition system is responsible for storing large amounts of energy. It is then released each time the spark plug is ignited to burn the fuel.
