March 9, 201313 yr Okay, I pulled my motor and forgot to disconnect the resistor that goes from the positive side of the coil to the ground on the engine. The unit ripped the wire off flush and cannot be fixed. It has the following markings 0169-17 150-05. What is this for? Will it still run? Where can I get it? Thanks.
March 9, 201313 yr If it is what I think it is this thread may help you http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/136409-what-is-this-little-capacitor-looking-thing/
March 9, 201313 yr Condenser. Acts as a buffer for the voltage backup on the primary windings, until the ditsy trips the jump to the secondary(spark discharge) You will need one. Can be for almost anything. Just needs to be a condensor.

Thanks, Mikelada! :endEdit Not quite accurate. You do need one, but it should be one that is matched to your coil. Otherwise, excessive points burning will occur due to flyback high-voltage from the primary windings trying to discharge across the gap as the points open. It does not need to be a exact match, but it should be. Edited March 9, 201313 yr by NorthWet

March 9, 201313 yr 85 brat has electronic ignition Oops!!! I hate it when this happens. Edited my post to reflect my error. Thanks!
March 10, 201313 yr That's what I thought, the link I posted is about the rf suppressor on a 86 brat. It is not necessary it just keeps the electircal noise out of your radio.
