    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Wiring the condenser

Ok... I think my condensers are grounded. I took the wires off that are connected to the points, then I got a phone call and when I went back to them I couldn't figure out where and how (in regards to the plastic insulators) the wires went. Can anyone help me out on this one? Thanks for all your help.

I've labled (A,B,C) the photo too for an easier explanation.

 
Hi Bex, I just took my points and condensers out today to install a Dyna S. When I saw your post I went to the trash can and pulled them out. Looks to me that you hav e the connection correct on the "C" labelled connection. Ray
 
Thanks Ray. What are the plastic separators for (where the condensor connects to the points), to protect the coil (on the points) from ware or to insulate the points from ground? Thanks
 
Bex, Do you mean the brown colored washers? They are there to insulate the points plate from the hot side of the connection to the coil and condenser. The currecnt flows thru the spring to one side of the point set. The rest of the point set is all grounded. If you are talking about the clear plastic at the terminal, I believe they insulate the fastener from the surrounding grounded material. Both connections should be clamped together and insulated from the surrounding metal. Ray
