hi bruce
a mate of mine has this generator carnt see the make or model its about 15 years old is on a house boat its electric start it has this cast box on the engine which has the points and condenser in it but the problem is after a while the spark jumps across from the points to the cast box and cuts the engine out the mechanic comes out and changes the points and condenser and its ok again for a couple of months and then the same thing happens what would cause this to happen so often

mattauto,

Ok the easy way to fix your problem is bypass the points and condenser with an electronic module. The problem I think will be moisture.

Can you post a picture so we can see the motor.

bruce thanks for your quick reply i carnt get you a picture wont see it for a few weeks and was hopeing to have it fixed. i through the same thing would i get a electronic module from a lawn mower place or would the module have to suit that motor
thanks

mattauto,

Can you call the guy that replaced the points and condenser and find out if he knows the engine model.

bruce

This Module should do the trick.

How did you go with your module. Did it work? as I have done the same thing on a Briggs & Stratton motor and I am interested about what happened with yours.
