Moderator Airhead Posted October 3, 2010 Moderator Share Posted October 3, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
