the art of being able to chane and adjust points and condenser ignitions is a dying breed for us younger "punks". (even though i am 33). i personally have never had to do this. to the question---is there a way to tell if an ignition condenser is bad? my "c" that i tinker with wouldnt start so i put it on the charger to refill the battery and i didnot check the settings on the charger so as you probably have figured out i got about 10 min of 12V charging in a 6v system. that is not so bad but i cranked the engine before i figured that out. now i wonder if i need to change the condenser or not not too big a deal but if it can be tested that will let me know if it is bad.

yea it wouldnt start i changed the points and condenser and it fired right up. runs like a charm.i took the points and condenser with me and talking to the guys at the IH dealer they said i would be lucky if i didnot fry a few elect components. i guess that i was lucky. the red stuff is hard to kill luckily!

If I understand your post, you put the 12 volt charger on the 6 volt battery for 10 minutes?
I doubt that you hurt anything.

If you still want to check the condensor, put an Ohmeter across it. It should initially read a low resistance and over a few seconds go to infinity and stay there. I doubt that 12 volts on your condensor would hurt it though.
