A bad condenser will cause the ignition points to spark more heavily, and burn out sooner. Also misfiring, bucking, and even stalling can occur as the spark may not be sufficient at the plug. The condenser helps reduce sparking at the contact points, and it also stores and provides extra energy for the next spark event, so a bad condener will reduce the strength of your overall ignition spark.
