Shaun had a similar problem at Holland and he did something with an extra wire to his battery.... Maybe worth dropping him an email.

Are you running through a resistor before the coil?

Hi Stew,
Maybe a cracked rotor or dizzy cap? Cheers,

Hi Stew
Hope you're well? Tobin's T16 had the same issue, something to do with the generator over powering the ignition and causing it to break down. He did everything you have regarding condensers etc. you could try a new/different generator? A swap to electric ignition cured the problem and now it's perfect.........

I remember tobin was so frustrated he considered ditching the whole engine and putting a French flathead in. maybe electronic ignition is the way to go

Thanks for the input guys ,I really appreciate the quick responds
but I think Andrew nailed it when he asked if I was running through a resistor in the dash The coils I was using had internal resistors therefore it was going through two which I think would be killing the condenser power I will keep everyone up to date That's what happens when the mind gets fuzzy  Thanks again guys it is great to have friends and all is well on this side of the pond (both ways)
