[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 108584, member: 58"] Well spotted Peter, I had forgot about the cam profile. The system I use (made myself) the cam profile is such that its impossible to have both points closed at the same time so it can be used with the points wired in parallel with one double ended coil or seperately with two condensors / coils etc. If you have a cam that keeps the points closed for most of the time all that happens is you use more electrical power for no extra gain. Once a coil / condensor is charged up the coil will still conduct DC current which is wasted electrical power if the points stay closed and can potentiall lead to overheating of the coil.
