Match the bullet, not the title of the kit. Do not fit a condenser with a fork plug and a green lead. This 1976 CB500T has two condenser cans, one above each coil. The points on the bike had been cleaned and were sparking. The right plug wire still showed nothing. A new condenser was tried while it was not bolted to the bracket, then bolted down so the case had a ground. The right plug wire stayed dead. The left coil was only partly mounted during that test, so the test was never a clean one. It was clean enough to stop blaming the can.
The condenser this harness will accept
| What you are holding | Fit | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| Bullet on the lead, number 30250-369-004 | Meets the harness | Assume one can serves both cylinders |
| Green wire, two-prong fork | Does not plug in | Cut the fork off and call the green lead a signal |
| Title lists 30250-369-004 and 30280-292-672 | The 369 number is the CB500T. The 292 number is a CB450 part | Trust a kit that claims both |
The silver cylinder above the coils is the condenser. It got called a compressor once from a photo. It is a can, a lead, and a ground through the bracket. There is no Amazon listing on this page. The kit that showed up for this bike used the right Honda number in the title and the wrong connector in the photo. That is the failure mode. Buy the bullet version from a Honda parts counter or a vintage specialist who shows the connector, two of them if you are replacing the pair.
Spark at the points only proves the points are opening and that some energy is reaching them. It does not prove the coil primary, the plug cap, or the condenser. The part that matched the dead side on this bike was the coil, which was pushing white foam out of the case. That replacement is the coil guide. If the points are quiet too, the feed is upstream, which on this bike was no voltage on the black/white wire after the lamps were back.
