Had a similar experience with my 1970 Puch moped. When the engine went on n=
ormal operational temperature, I heard a nasty bang noise and the engine lo=
st a lot of power. I managed to reach home.
Later when cold the engine started well again, but much sooner the engine p=
ower was lost again.
So I replaced the coil and the problem seamed to be away.
Quickly at the next longer run the engine started to show the very same iss=
ues.
I then replaced anything within the ignition, but not the coil of course.
The problem did not go away of course.
A good friend with lots of experience and parts got fed up with this nasty =
problem and replaced the entire ignition set.
Problem gone.
Had to pay him some $ 30 and I was allowed to keep the faulty set as well.
Replacing the coil again gave me a very nice spare set.
Cheers,
Hans

Thanks for posting that, Simon! Read the stacks of workshop manuals and the=
y say, 'condensers almost never fail'. 'Almost' is a dangerous word and it =
fogs our troubleshooting vision. But well done to you!

And why after almost a year, am I writing this? Firstly, my MG TD restorati=
on awaits completion, but I uncovered it yesterday while cleaning up the sh=
op. Some of the old excitement returned. Secondly, my old '69 Silver Shadow=
is at a commercial shop getting new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil, ballas=
t, points, and condenser. And guess what; The 'almost new' condenser had fa=
iled, leaving that honkin' big 6 liter V8 without enough spark to start! Co=
ndensers DO fail, and when they do, diagnostics become difficult because, "=
condensers almost never fail." Maybe the piles of literature should read, "=
condensers almost never fail, except for the poorly made replacements avail=
able in the 21st century."
