Default farads and stuff

Tony

For most automotive applications , you want a value of around .25 uf for the ignition capacitor .

1 uf = 10 to the power of negative 6 ... which is one millionth of a farad

Michael Faraday had something to do with it I think

Default Engine miss

This thread went into several dierctions. After 15 plus letters I had a problem determining whats the prob .

Consider this. 6 V starter , 12 battery. Crank like hell and start engine. Idles.
Under load misses. I would suggest the battery is not supplying sufficent power to energise the Ing. system under load. Check the charging system. Bob

Hi Bob

After all was checked, the culprit turned out to be the Condenser, problem solved and I am a happy chappie.

Cheers
