[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 40848, member: 59"] Fitting the first one probably involves less hassle than replacing a standard pattern condenser, and is probably more economical. Even if the EasyCap then only lasts a year but can be replaced by the roadside without disturbing the magneto, for the cost of a tankful of fuel, it must be worth while. Provided the shelf life of the spare that you stick in the tool tray exceeds the life of the one fitted under your points, it has to be a worthwhile modification. If it proves to have too short a life, like the professional rebuilds that magnetoman experienced, the magneto can be rebuilt to standard at some later date. If no one has one fail yet they cannot predict how long it will work for but I do know that, while working, the mag will be at least as good as it was with the standard original condenser. [/QUOTE]
