[QUOTE="nkt267, post: 45291, member: 245"] When I bought my 1st Comet I was told that the condenser in the mag may be faulty 'No problem' said the seller 'Providing that you wait a while so that the engine cools down'. It would start ok when cold.It ran perfectly on the 200 mile ride home,which took 8 hrs.Every time my mate's stopped on his bike which seemed to be every 1/2 hour we had to wait 1/2 hour for mine to cool down. I ran it like that for 18 months till I found a man to repair the condenser( I knew absolutely nothing about magneto's at the time----I know what comments are coming now;-) ). Condenser replaced and I could stop and start the Comet whenever I liked..John [/QUOTE]
