EXCERPT:
"BREAKER POINTS"
"If points are burned or badly oxidized, little or no current will pass. As a result, the engine may not operate at all. If it does run it is likely to miss, particularly at full throttle."
"Always replace badly burned or pitted breaker points. A certain amount of build–up or metal transfer occurs under normal operating conditions; however, if this occurs too frequently and becomes excessive, the condenser may be a fault. Slightly pitted points can be dressed down with a point file (Fig. 9). This should be done only as a temporary field fix. Replace points at the first opportunity after filing. If the points are oxidized, rub a piece of coarse cloth between the surfaces. Clean dirty or oily points with a cloth, but be sure not to leave lint between the surfaces. Set clearance at .020 in."
"CONDENSER"
"If the condenser shorts out, the coil will be unable to produce output voltage. On the other hand, if it opens or decreases in capacitance, the output voltage will be greatly reduced and the ignition points will burn excessively. If badly burned breaker points occur too frequently, the condition of the condenser should be suspected. If the condenser has too small capacitance, metal will transfer from the stationary contact to the movable contact. If its capacitance is too large, the metal will build up on the stationary contact."
"IGNITION TIMING PROCEDURE"
"The engine is equipped with a timing sight hole in the blower housing. The timing marks can be seen thru this hole. Two marks are stamped on the flywheel. The “T” mark indicates Top Dead Center (TDC), while the “S” mark indicates the spark point, which is 20 degrees before TDC. You can rotate the flywheel until the “S” mark can be seen thru the sight hole and scratch a mark on the air screen and blower housing for easier use and a quick visual check of the timing."
"When you install new points:"
"1. Set the points at .020 gap."
"2. Rotate the engine. The “S” mark should be in the sight hole when you hear the spark as the points open."
