Does your Haynes book not cover it?

yes it does but i find it quite confusing

Turn the engine using the kickstart until the points are at the widest gap. Adjust this gap to the correct one in the haynes book.

now set the engine to the correct place for the ignition (see your haynes manual)

Place a cigarette paper between the points.

loosen the screws holding the points backplate and turn the whole thing while pulling gently on the cigarette paper.

You will find that at some position the points will begin to open and the paper will be free.

Tighten the backplate screws in this position

Job done

Least thats what I used to do when i were a lad :rolleyes:
