They are cheap enough to buy, they all are about the same value, I always used to use old fiesta ones on my G3.

Worth changing then! I have a while before the carb comes back!
So any condenser will do?
Was hoping to have it sorted for skeyton goat next month!

Colin is right about the condensors but don't touch it yet. Do the carb first and see how it goes. An old (even s/h lucas condensor is usually better than a new cheap pattern one ) Get some spare condensors, preferably at least one old lucas one. And if the problem persists change it. Only takes a minute. Its a good rule with problem finding to never do more than one change at a time.

I have bought condensors and rotor arms for my pre war car from the Distributor Doctor. Good quality and a large range.

Hi all,

Just to update you, I've got my carb back from Martin and the bike has been on a 20 mile trip with no issues, I think I still need to tweak the fuel/air but I'm very happy with it.
Thanks everyone for your help!!
