Hi guys,
I’m racking my brain trying to figure out how the current flows through this points and condenser setup. It’s on a Briggs engine not chainsaw but the principles are the same, however on a chainsaw the points are constantly closed until it hits a cam and opens breaking the circuit. This makes sense in my head, however this setup, the points are open until a pin drops onto a slot on the crank allowing the points to close. Have a watch of this video and any advice would be really appreciated.
