these friggin little four poppers dont't have enough humps on the points cam to get em to break so you can can a intial gap for dwell.
the idle has been geting a bit rough so i did some detective work and cleaned up the points instead of replacing them cause i don't have any with me and i'm csob. and put em back in and "F" with em for about a 1/2 hr till i get em to 42% cloise enough. now snowflake runs nice again. i'm gonna have to get one of them electronic coversions. i dont wanna have to do that again. |

it's real, REAL easy if you open up the ends of the holes in the hinge arms of the engine lid, so you just loosen the 2 bolts a bit, side the damn thing back, and remove it entirely. makes timing a breeze too.

If you mod the engine lid to be removable can you keep the torsion springs or do you lose those?

The springs stay on the lid, so all you do is slot the bolt holes for the lid.

you think it makes points and timing easy...carbs are nothing after the mod. unless you like bending up like a pretzel and tweeking your neck in the process.

3 bucks for a set of point...
Or mmmm 125 for petronics... And for most people that I have seen install them here...it takes two sets to read the manual...so the first set is blown... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) It will be many years before I can justify petronics... Rich |
