Click to expand... I have a Evinrude Mate 2, 1973, that I converted to electronic ignition. It starts every time now.

When the points open, the winding of the coil can arc across the openings. The condenser stores the current temporarily to prevent the points from arcing and turn off the current faster. https://www.carparts.com/blog/points-and-condenser-purpose-symptoms-and-faqs/#:~:text=Most%20older%20vehicles%20have%20a%20point-type%20ignition%20system%2C,from%20arcing%20and%20turn%20off%20the%20current%20faster.
