Hi,

Sorry for the long posting, but I forgot one thing. When I asked this 
question before, I got a few responses that said "check the ground". The 
strap around the condensor has a plating on it (cadmium, I think) and I 
typically use some fine sandpaper on the surface that mates to the dizzy 
body to assure a good ground. But if you have a digital multimeter, check 
the resistance from the condensor body to the battery ground. It should be 
0.00. 1 or two ohms is probably okay, but any more than that and you've 
got a bad ground connection somewhere that needs to be addressed.

Regards,
rml
