You might as well replace the condenser while you have it apart! That is sort of tricky to do, but i'm sure you can handle it. The little wires that go thru the end of the condenser and the poast, are held in by a little spring. With the complete points and condenser set comes a littl cup-shaped tool, which is used to push down on the spring with one hand, while holding the condenser with the other hand, and then, with another hand, you insert both teeny wires thru the condenser, and let the spring go up to hold all together. Be sure to do this while sitting in a 12 ft. cleared area of your garage floor! This because that little plastic cup has a mind if its own! It doesn't want to work, and at the first opportunity, it will fly off to places unseen, leaving you with numerous pieces hidden in far off holes, or under something, which, after much diligent searching, to no avail, you will find in yer boot when you take it off to go to bed! You can avoid all of that by purchasing an electronic ignition kit. Follow the instructions! It usually doesn't require removal of flywheel. Just cut the wire leading under the flywheel, and connect it to the wire on the electronic box, and fasten that to a good solid metallic ground! Note: some engines can't be used with that kit, but most will be ok!
