Changing condenser on F4 Magneto

Fawteen · May 30, 2013

As part of troubleshooting an ignition problem on my F14, I want to change the condenser.

From what drawings I can find, it's behind the cover on the impulse end of the mag.

Any tips on changing it out would be greatly appreciated.

On theF4 you have to disassemble it quite far to change out the condenser. After removing the distributor cap you have to remove the magnet band and the magnet. After that the dust cover under the magnet, there are four screws holding it down, two at the back of the cover going down and two more at the front going up. Once the cover is removed you can see the condenser. Loosen the nut and disconnect the wires, then remove condenser, reclamp new condenser and reassemble.

You can view or print the factory Blue Ribbon Service Manual at the link below.

I don't think it goes into too much detail on changing the condenser, but there's LOTS of troubleshooting information there.
