Does a points condenser need to be grounded?
The condenser body needs to be grounded, and the lead wire can connect anywhere between the coil and points. You can screw the condenser bracket to the coil mounting bracket, and connect the lead wire to the coil primary points wire connector.
Are ignition points grounded?
When the points are touching each other electricity runs from the battery, through the coil and to the engine block, which is grounded to the negative terminal on the battery. The current running through the windings in the ignition coil builds up a powerful electrical field that is unleashed when the points separate.
Is the ignition coil the same as the ground wire?
In other words, turning off the key is the same as touching the end of the ground wire from the ignition module to the mower frame. You have answered the question in a way that doesn’t make sense to me.
Why is my ground point on my Honda VTX 1800 not working?
Anyone who knows anything about electronics will tell you that it’s hard to run power through an insulator like powder coat. This means the bike’s ground points that are trying to connect through the powder coat are struggling. The next problem is caused by all the connections at the grounds.
Where is the ground on a Honda VTX?
With the common electronics ground completed, doing this secondary battery ground will be a piece of cake. If you have a coolant reservoir between the motor cylinders on the left side of the bike (mostly all 05+ VTX’s) then you do not have this ground and you’re done!
Where is the ignition coil on a Honda VTX 1800?
Look on the left side of the backbone towards the front of the bike – just behind the handlebars, under the front tank mount and in front of the radiator cap and you should see the front ignition coil. If for any reason you have trouble finding it just follow the spark plug wires from the front cylinder up, they plug into this coil.
