Default Bad Condensor Symptoms

I decided to start this thread to get tips and opinions on a bad condensor.

Another bike I have, a 2-stroke Kawie from '73, the bike would shut off in night-time mode unless I increased the RPMs a whole bunch via the idle screw. Well, finally put a new condensor on it and runs just fine.

So now I start looking at my '63 Honda CA95. I've always had to increase the RPMs via the idle screw a whole bunch to get it started and usually can only start in with the key in day-time running position (not a chance in night-time position), and also it is almost next to impossible to start it in 45 degree weather or cooler.

So I'm suspecting the condensor as well (and looking at it it has scratches on a corner of the condensor). Easy fix, so I have one in the mail on the way, and I'm just doing this based off previous experience on other bikes, but what do you guys think? Will it solve my starting issues???
