Congrats, gives you quite a lift when a job eventually gets sorted out.

Well done Chris, great feeling when you finally crack it! Maybe effect of heat on condenser, and moving it will help new one to run cooler? Or could be cap/ arm cracked, I’d be tempted to swap back to old cap/ arm (with new ones in my pocket) and try and pinpoint the culprit then take great pleasure in jumping on it!!
Happy days

Already destroyed the old ones ! I used to keep old parts for times of desperation but I now realise if they were no bl###y good when they were taken off they won't be any good in the future. A lot of this stuff ends up on ebay so buyer beware!

I'm a fan of the BrightSpark (Groily) solid state condensers. Much preferable to the old aluminium foil jobbies.

I have a box of about 20 old (non)sparkling plugs that were put aside for the same reason, (in spite of having a box of new plugs in the shed cupboard).
Similarly headlamp bulbs where one filament is duff (in spite of having a box of new ones in the shed cupboard).
