Does anybody have any tips or tricks on soldering condensers on? It looks like it could be a real pain in the ass if you don’t know what you’re doing. 71 dt1 

I clamp the points and coil wires down with one tab to hold them in place and solder to the other tab after bending it over

Yeah, its a pain. Make sure you have a really good soldering iron. My 1st attempt didn't go well, so I went to the local hardware and bought a nice soldering iron and it went much better.

I am about to solder mine back in is paste/flux a requirement?

Rosin core solder for electrical. (or solid core solder and rosin paste that are both made for electrical connections.)

Talking condensers, I've got used to CDI & not much going wrong.
But i have an old Dolmar Sachs 112 chainsaw i was abusing yesterday down the farm & started misfiring until it stopped.
Bought it second hand about 30 years ago.
Found it has spark but is a bright flash & not concentrated.
Google says it has points, man it must be old.
So i'll have to 'go in' & see what's in there. Or looks like i can buy a coil cdi 'module that bolts straight on & carry on into the sunset, but that's too easy.
Also it has a flat red plastic thing hanging off the coil that melted to the cylinder head & has a couple of wires going one to earth & other looks like might be joined to the coil.
Doesn't look condenser as we know it Jim!!, or is it.
I'll get a pic of it & what i find, but thinking condenser is under the flywheel normally--umm, on Yamaha.

I love the line "we come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill"
