Debby,
Condensers are cheap!
Faulty condensers will cause the engine to run erratic with symptoms of a carburetor being out of adjustment. I think I remember asking if you had changed them?
As norbsa pointed out, faulty condensers will cause excessive spark at the points. This is easy to check: with the ignition on, flick the points open and closed by hand and if you see a big-fat-spark at the points, you have a bad condenser. Moreover, you will see stalagmites/stalagtites on the faces of the points if your condensers are shot.
Check it out and let us know what you find.
Regards,
Jason
