So I am taking the next step and looking at possibly replacing the points. I have the manual printed and have followed your alls suggestions. Tonight I took off the cover to examine the actual points, they are grey, flat, but perhaps a bit pitted. Am considering replacing. However, I used a 17m socket and rotated the crankshaft counter clockwise and the points did not seem to move at ALL! This to me seems strange, and before I go replacing the points could it be that they simply need to be adjusted? I have not gotten a feeler gauge at this point, but that is the next obvious step. I want to make sure I do this right before I screw it up more.....I tried cleaning the points with a fine sandpaper, but the cover back on and POP POP POP....
Suggestions?
