Hi, I've bought a new condenser which has 2 wires,where do I put the original yellow wire that was soldered onto my original condenser? The new condenser has a plastic cover where the wires come out. Thanks.

Connect the yellow wire to one of the two condenser wires. Tape the other wire up and/or cut it short.

Currently the green and yellow are together soldered to lighting? Coil.
Blue wire from original condenser to points.
Black wire from loom to condenser also.
There is also a copper wire for other side coil thing soldered to condenser with the blue and black wire.
How/where do I fix the copper to my new condenser?
Hope this makes sense!
Thanks

Yes that makes sense.

This is the circuit you should have. I have shown the junction made at the condenser, but as long as the 4 wires from condenser, points, source coil and loom (from top coil) are all connected it should work.

ie your condenser has two wires. they will be internally connected together and the condenser is earthed via it's case/mount. You could connect the other three wires (points, copper wire, and loom) all to one of the condeser wires or split 2/1 to the two wires in any combination.

The yellow and green wires are as you say connected to the lighting/charging coil and have no effect on the ignition. I haven't shown the lighting coil or wiring in the diagrams below.

If you want to be more radical, An alternative is to mount the condenser in the battery box wired like this. Electrically it's identical, but makes it easier to change/check the condenser in the future.

Thank you very much for diagrams etc, it makes it so clear now in my head! I shall wire up tomorrow and hopefully have sparks!
