POINTS
Replace burnt
or
faulty points. Measure
gap
with
a
feeler gauge
and set gap at
.020-inches.
|Q^yy|Q(iJ7 Always make sure that feeler gauge
is
free
i^x-x^^^^-^^i
from
gre
i grease
and
dirt. (Grease
and
dirt causes
shorter life
of
points.)
Ignition breaker points must
be
correctly gapped
for
top performance (Figure
9)'.
Crank engine
to
fully
open breaker points
(i/4
turn after
top
center).
Loosen
and
move stationary contact
to
correct
the
gap
at
full separation. Tighten contact and check
gap.
(Repeat
if
needed.)
Ignition breaker points should break contact just
when
the 19
degree timing mark aligns with
the
flywheel timing mark. Timing
is
corrected
by
properly
shifting
the
breaker point
box on its
mounting
and
using
a
timing light.

Model should
be
timed correctly
